Hey team! This is the raw, un-cut interview Dan Churchill and I recorded one year ago in New York City during my two week internship, when I found out I got hired!
This is a special episode for me as it's the one year anniversary since I started working with Dan. I am so grateful to be in this position in my life where I can call Dan a boss, mentor, and friend. Throughout the last year, I have learned more than I could ever say in one podcast or post, but five main takeaways are to:
- Always ask for what you want
- Be a sponge
- Provide value
- Be authentic
- Help your boss burn less calories
A huge reason I am in this position is due to all of you supporting me through this show, reaching out to me on socials, and providing me feedback. You all have helped me grow my confidence, find my voice, and understand better who I am. So thank you!
If you want to learn more about what I have learned over the last year, let me know and I can record an updated episode with Dan where we go more into clear lessons and takeaways.
Also, if you want to support the work we are doing, the best ways are to leave a review everywhere you listen to your podcasts and purchase our Charley St Chorizo and Bolognese which is made of whole foods, incredibly easy to cook, and extremely delicious.
"My biggest recommendation is to just start" - Bryan Spunt on how to succeed as an entrepreneur
I am thrilled to bring you today’s episode with Bryan Spunt who is the CEO of Seek Discomfort, the Chief Smile Officer at the Big Smiles Program, and the third Shareholder at PopSockets. Seek Discomfort is a brand created by Yes Theory. For those of you who don't know, Yes Theory is a YouTube channel with over 7 Million subscribers started by three young guys (Thomas, Matt, and Ammar) who believe that life's greatest moments live outside of your comfort zone. Their goal is to help people get out of their comfort zone by saying yes to opportunity. Bryan is the CEO of their brand Seek Discomfort which is an amazing clothing company creating a tangible calling card to push your boundaries, overcome fear, and live a more vibrant life. Bryan and I met on the beach last summer in Santa Monica when some of my best friends and I spontaneously drove to LA to meet the guys at Yes Theory. We exchanged info and a month later we sat down to record this conversation. In this episode Bryan dives into his come-up story, how he found a love for business in high school, how he became the third shareholder in PopSockets as a Sophomore in college, and how he eventually found his current position as CEO of Seek Discomfort. We specifically discuss:
- How to succeed as an entrepreneur
- What skills do good entrepreneurs need?
- How can I become a successful entrepreneur?
- The importance of giving back
- Living in the moment rather than the future
- How to find a career that combines passion, money, and purpose
- Is going to college actually worth it?
- Is going to college a waste of time?
I am thrilled to share this episode with all of you! Since our conversation nine months ago, I connected Bryan with SeaTrees, a California based non-profit that I am the Youth Ambassador for, to establish a partnership with Seek Discomfort, through their Seeker Sustainability Program, so that Seek could become an OceanPositive company. OceanPositive is a term given to a company when they partner with SeaTrees. The certification is given when a company calculates their environmental footprint, then wipes it out through planting mangrove trees and reforesting kelp, then changes their practices so they aren’t continuing their same ways of production and distribution that led to emissions. So as of NOW, every time you purchase Seek Discomfort, you are also planting mangrove trees and reforesting kelp.

I am so excited to share today's episode with you all! In this episode, I interview Marissa Meizz. Marissa is the founder of No More Lonely Friends, an organization centered around hosting meet-ups to help people make life-long friends. Recently, Marissa's life changed overnight. A young man walking in NYC overheard a conversation between a group of friends. They were talking negatively about a girl named Marissa and were planning to have a party the weekend she was away. The man posted a video to TikTok calling them out and telling people to send the video to Marissa, who he didn't know. The video got over 14 million views. Marissa saw the video; her heart sank. Since then, a tidal wave of amazing change has occurred in Marissa's life. She made the front page of the New York Times, got interviewed on the Drew Barrymore Show, and the list continues. In today's episode, we talk about it all.
In the episode, we specifically discuss how to succeed as a female creator. We further explore the pros and cons of being a female creator and how Marissa has experienced each of these. Marissa is one of the top female creatives to follow. From growing up acting and making clothes, to working on movie production, and living on contracted work in L.A. and NYC, Marissa is a role model in the creative space. One question we dive into is what would the female version of Yes Theory look like? We also discuss what happens after you go viral, what it means to be a good friend, and how to create the life you want to live.
