#44 The Stories You'll Wish You'd Captured: Roy and Yvette of LifeBook Memoirs on legacy, memory, and why context is everything
Somewhere in your family there's a story only one person still remembers. When they're gone, it's gone, and no amount of Googling brings it back. Danielle knows this one firsthand. That ache is what Roy and Yvette built a business around. As founders of Lifebook Memoirs, they've captured personal and corporate legacies across more than 40 countries, 20,000+ books and counting.

#43 How To Speak Up And Know When To Walk Away: With Stephen "Shed" Shedletzky
There's a difference between sacrifice and torture. Sacrifice is doing something for a known period of time and for a clear end in mind. Without either, sacrifice becomes torture." That's the quote that made Stephen "Shed" Shedletzky quit his miserable corporate job and start the career he actually wanted—which led to 10 years on Simon Sinek's team, a book on speak-up cultures, and a worldview that will make you rethink every "I'll just stick it out" you've ever told yourself. In this conversation, Shed and Danielle dig into why the trusted circle of people who don't clap for everything you do is the antidote to narcissism, why "I want you to speak up... so long as you agree with me" is the most toxic phrase in corporate America, and the story of his grandfather—a Holocaust survivor who walked home at night for two months that gave him the courage to demand more from his own life. This is the episode you send to a friend who's stuck. Don't sit on it.

#42 This Is Why You're Exhausted: The truth about holding in anger with executive coach and author, Karen Thrall
If you've ever clenched your jaw in a meeting, said "sounds good!" while screaming inside, and then come home only to bite your spouse's head off, this episode is for you. Karen Thrall, executive coach and author of Lose Your Sht At Work*, has spent her career coaching leaders through their tempers, their silence, and everything in between. She joins Danielle for a conversation that gets personal fast (Danielle confesses, Karen confesses, you'll probably confess to yourself by the end). You'll learn why your anger is almost never about the thing in front of you, how to find your "first one," the difference between placating and enabling (and why both cost you confidence), and Karen's idea that every leader needs to steal: forget the recognition program, write your people fan mail. This is the rare conversation that makes you feel more capable by the end. Don't skip it.

#41 You Don't Need A Crisis To Need A Coach: Executive coach and author Matt Dickerson on what high performers are missing
High performers have a formula. Outwork. Out-execute. Don't unravel what's working. Danielle lived this for years, until the formula stopped working at the next level. Enter Matt Dickerson. Founder of Coaching for Clarity, ICF-certified executive coach, and author of a book born out of his own imposter syndrome. In this conversation, Matt explains what coaching actually is (hint: it's not mentorship, it's not therapy, and it's definitely not someone telling you what to do), why 100% of his clients have imposter syndrome, and the moment he discovered his real core value and almost fell out of his chair. You'll leave with two daily practices that every leader needs and a much bigger view of what's possible for you.

#40 Storytelling Isn't Trending, It's Taking Over: Hear it from the Chief Storytelling Officer himself, Rob D. Willis
The WSJ and NYT are talking about it. It's all over LinkedIn and social media. Storytelling seems to be trending more than ever. Danielle wanted a global gut check, so she connected with Rob D. Willis, a coach, trainer and storytelling advisor to have a real conversation about storytelling and why leaders and businesses should care more than ever. Rob is a storytelling social media influencer (Danielle's words, not his) with a fast-growing following and content that breaks down the winning formulas behind stories, presentation skills and strategy. Take notes on this one.

#39 What Happens When You Surrender: Deep Life Lessons from Author, CEO and Former NFL Player, Joe Terry
High performers have a lot in common. We go hard. We fight for control. And sometimes, we're brutal to ourselves (and others.) Leading with love can sound too soft. But Joe Terry has proven it might be the secret to unlocking the next level of your life. Joe's stories from making it to the NFL to leading Culture Partners, co-authoring his first book, Surrender to Lead, and competing in Ironman World Championships serve as proof that you can achieve your biggest goals without letting your ego control you.

#38 What Makes The Best Vacation Stories: Don't book the trip until you hear from Casey Prentice, CEO of Prentice Hospitality Group
Why are some vacations so memorable and others are so meh? Casey Prentice, entrepreneur and real estate investor, has it figured out. When he creates a destination, he thinks of the entire experience—how it feels when you arrive, how you're treated throughout the hotels, how many steps it takes to get an ice cream nearby—eveything. Oftentimes, the moments you remember are unplanned, imperfect and yet centered in human connection. Listen to this and you will never book a trip the same way again.
