There's a level of trust necessary for committing to a hair stylist. Not only does the stylist have to know his or her stuff, but you have to feel comfortable enough around him or her for both long, awkward silences and heart-to-heart conversations you never thought you'd have while wearing a full-body cape around your neck. And sure, "hair grows out," eventually, but try telling that to my twelve-year-old self after that one time the stylist cut my bangs distressingly short—if I'd felt an insta...

In a culture hyper focused on health, wellness, and overall wellbeing, we're inundated with "organic" this and "100% natural" that. It would almost be more strange to read a label that didn't tout some kind of eco-friendly or health-conscious accreditation. But for Town and Anchor, the labels behind the brand's namesake stand for much more than just keeping up with the Jones's. I sat down with Parisa Morris, co-founder of Town and Anchor, for this episode of #WeGotGoals. While in the interview,...

Each goal-getter and how they set out to to achieve big things is as unique as his or her own fingerprint. Nothing has been made clearer by interviewing more than 100 people about this very subject for our podcast #WeGotGoals than this point. And for Emmett Williams, President and Partner at MyZone, goal setting runs through his veins and is both his currency and his love language. His currency: In MyZone's Chicago office - the largest of several across the globe - I sat across from Williams as...

A good mani leaves you feeling polished, strong, and put-together—ready to face whatever challenges the day brings you. But often, the process of procuring it poses a conundrum. You could go for a high-end service at a swanky spa, if you have the cash and spare time. Or, you might choose an inexpensive yet inefficient neighborhood spot that leaves you feeling vaguely icky about the inequity between customers and employees—especially in light of a brutal New York Times expose several years ago t...

As a college student, Michael Mader never thought he'd start a business that would seek to end homelessness for youths on a city-wide and nation-wide scale. But then again, he also didn't foresee a traumatic brain injury that would require an emotional and financial support system for months on end, either. As Mader told me on this episode of #WeGotGoals, "I was unable to go to school, I was unable to work, and had to heavily rely on my support group - so family and friends that were there for ...

When we kicked off Season 3 of #WeGotGoals, we set out to walk the walk by setting small goals within each quarter of this goal-focused podcast to curate guests who are doing big things in the areas which we care most about. For instance, over the last few months we brought community building to the forefront of our goal focus. We interviewed grassroots community developers like the founder of Sofar Sounds and community director of Girls Night In. We brought guests like Shanna Missett Nelson, P...

On #WeGotGoals podcast episode 102, I interviewed the founder of 305 (305 Fitness, that is), Sadie Kurzban. When she was only 24, Kurzban was putting the finishing touches on the first physical space for 305 Fitness in the heart of New York City, a project that was four times as expensive as she planned, while the rest of her pals from college were simply enjoying their second year out of college. "I was sitting there thinking, what did I just do? I was super scared," Kurzban told me in this ep...
