Solo Episode: Resilience, Reinvention & Life on the Move — Kicking Off 2025 with Real Talk

It’s just you and me today, and I couldn’t be more excited. Welcome to the first solo episode of the year, just me, a mic, and a whole lot to catch up on. This month has been a whirlwind. From heart-stopping stories of resilience (Joel Oliver’s journey through heart surgery at 28) to a mission to keep Lebanese talent thriving at home (Fadi Boulos and Supportful), the conversations have been nothing short of inspiring. We met Adam House, a serial entrepreneur who’s done everything from launching businesses to playing semi-pro basketball in his 30s. We learned from Courtney Johnson, the queen of social media strategy, and closed the month with Matt Tate, a guy who made accounting cool and believes being selfish is actually the key to success. On the personal side? I’ve been living out of a suitcase, hopping from city to city, finding new energy, new stories, and a new appreciation for life untethered. London, the Cotswolds, Galway, Belfast—each place leaving its mark. So, here’s to a year of growth, adventure, and real talk. If you’ve been tuning in, thank you. If you’re new here, welcome. Let’s make 2025 one for the books.
