What does it actually look like to bet on yourself?

In this episode, I’m sitting down with entrepreneur Andrew Marino — founder of Royal Guard Co, sales leader, investor, and someone who has intentionally built a life that doesn’t follow a straight line. From working in corporate tech and closing millions in revenue, to launching his own all-natural personal care brand, to moving across cities, to even appearing on Hulu’s Are You My First, Andrew has consistently chosen growth over comfort.

But this conversation isn’t about résumé highlights. It’s about the pivots.

We talk about evolving in your 20s and 30s, outgrowing old versions of yourself, the hidden costs of ambition, dating while you’re still becoming, and how to know when it’s time to change direction. Andrew shares what it means to build a life on your own terms — and why the unconventional path often teaches you the most about who you really are.

If you’ve ever felt behind, stuck, or unsure whether you’re allowed to change your mind… this episode is your permission.

You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to bet on yourself.

What does it actually take to build a billion-dollar company and still build a life that feels grounded, meaningful, and whole?

In this episode, I sit down with Steven J. Lund to talk about leadership, ambition, family, faith, and the quiet decisions that shape a life over time. Steven shares his journey from growing up in California to serving overseas, joining the military after a spiritual prompting, earning a law degree, and helping build Nu Skin into a global company, all while raising a family and staying rooted in his values.

We talk honestly about what success really costs, how to take risks without losing yourself, what joy looks like in everyday life, and how to keep faith, purpose, and relationships from becoming sidelined along the way. Steven also opens up about grief, prayer, leadership, and what he’s learned about becoming who you’re meant to be, even when the path isn’t clear.

Whether you’re ambitious, searching, rebuilding, or just trying to figure out how to live a meaningful life without burning out - this conversation is for you.

In your 20s, happiness can feel fleeting, like something you’re constantly chasing but never quite holding onto. We get caught in a trap that it will come once we have the right job, relationship, routine, or sense of stability… but what if that’s not how happiness works at all?

In this episode, I sit down with Abigail Ferrell, author of Happier Us, to unpack what truly creates lasting happiness and how to build it intentionally. We talk about the biggest misconceptions people have about happiness, why so many of us feel stuck or numb, and what science and faith surprisingly agree on when it comes to joy.

Abigail shares practical, step-by-step tools for rewiring your brain for joy, including how your thoughts, words, and daily habits shape your emotional life more than you realize. We explore affirmations, gratitude, the role of community, and how to choose happiness without ignoring hard emotions or real struggles.

This conversation is thoughtful, honest, and deeply grounding — especially if you’re in a season where life looks fine on the outside, but something feels off on the inside.

If you’ve ever wondered why happiness feels harder than it should… this episode is for you.
