And if you heard the recent episode of How I Built This with Guy Raz (one of our favorite podcasts besides #WeGotGoals, obviously) featuring Judi Sheppard Missett, you heard a...

Most people live only two to five years after diagnosis, as their brains lose touch with their bodies and their muscles atrophy.

First, as Lynne explains on this week’s episode of #WeGotGoals, the couple “tried to find somebody that w...

Sick, tired, lonely and lost. That's the point where Jessica Zweig, founder and CEO of the SimplyBe Agency knew her path with Cheeky Chicago had ended and something needed to change. The story of changing paths - especially when it means shuttering something that's gained public recognition the way that Cheeky Chicago had - may be a topic that some guests on our podcast #WeGotGoals would avoid. But for Zweig, her willingness to share this journey was the perfect mix of authentic emotion and ma...
