Over the Wall with Rob LoCascio

I am so excited to share this week's guest: Hint Water founder Kara Goldin. Kara is a true entrepreneur in every sense of the word. Her journey to founding her company is full of twists and turns and reminded me that the path to being a founder and a leader is never a straight road. You have to be open to some detours. I found her advice to be refreshing, straight forward, and actionable, something we need more of when it comes to talking about founding a company.

Her book, Undaunted: Overcoming Doubts and Doubters, is excellent and is available now - I highly recommend it to anyone looking for how to overcome the voices who want to see you fail.

This week's guest is real estate legend Ryan Serhant. Ryan and I covered a huge range of topics and I was so impressed with him. A true entrepreneur, he talked about leaning into moments when others might pull away, forging ahead, listening to his gut, and how he got his start.

His new book, Big Money Energy, is a New York Times bestseller and chock full of lots of wisdom. I highly recommend it.

On this episode, I sit down with a titan of the toy industry, Melissa Bernstein. Not only did Melissa found one of the most successful toy companies of all time, she also has overcome immense mental health walls and obstacles in her journey doing so. She was so candid and raw during our conversation, so open, I was moved by her story and changed by meeting her. Her struggle is something so many of us can relate to, but we don't discuss enough. I hope you enjoy the episode as much as I enjoyed the conversation.

On this episode, I spoke with Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, a neuroanatomist and author with years of experience in understanding and unpacking the intricacies and details of the brain and mental health. We talked about her incredible path from early career to her breakout TED Talk and book on witnessing her own stroke. We also talked about how we can take each part of our consciousness and brain and actively get them to work together more cohesively. She is a fountain of wisdom and information and it as an honor to speak with her. Really hope you enjoy the episode!

This week I speak with Sun Microsystems founder Scott McNealy. Scott is a Silicon Valley legend. He stands alongside Steve Jobs and Bill Gates as one of the pioneers of the tech space and his thoughts on how to run a company still inspire me today. I even hosted the very first LivePerson code ever written on a Sun Microsystem server. Needless to say, talking to him and getting to pick his brain was an exciting glimpse into how one of the original founding tech companies came to be and how he made tough important decisions to keep them going along the way. Hope you enjoy the episode!

We'll be back with a new episode in a couple weeks!
