Kayla is bringing unhinged honesty, zero filter, and all the questions you're too scared to ask...a data scientist by day, influencer by night! Lee sits down with the internet bestie — known online as @baddiewithabelly — to talk about building a viral following by minding everybody's business, the manager who brought social media screenshots to a 1:1, her first Black church experience, why plot is an art form, hot mic confessions, unacceptable ways to die, death row meals, and whether either of them would play hero on a hijacked plane. It's fun, unhinged, hilarious, and 100% authentic — Kayla Edwards style. "15 Minutes With Unplugged" is the summer series of 15 Minutes With — real conversations with the unique, the gigster and the delightfully atypical people who get a little joy out of doing the extra thing.
One season. A lineup of unforgettable voices. And a finale built to celebrate every single one of them. Here's what we're getting into: The moments we loved. The bloopers and pure craziness that made us laugh. And the real behind-the-scenes of what it actually took to pull this whole thing off.

Byrd Baggett hopes his whole life can be summed up in one sentence: "He lived a life that inspired hope in others." After this conversation, you'll believe he's done exactly that. It's easy to be impressed by the résumé, an All-American athlete, author of 15 books, a speaker who's influenced thousands of leaders. But none of that was the most memorable part of this conversation. This one pulls back the curtain on the human underneath the accomplishments, because the people who change us rarely do it from a stage. They do it across a table, in a hallway, in the moments they aren't trying to be impressive, just honest. Who he is: Byrd is an All-American athlete, the author of 15 books, and a speaker who has influenced thousands of leaders. But the titles aren't the point, what he hopes to be remembered for is the hope he's left in other people. What he does: He writes, speaks, and leads, but more than that, he shows up for the conversations that actually matter, the ones about being human. What he believes: That the most important conversations aren't about success, they're about humanity. About the moments that break us, shape us, and teach us how to hope again. How he works: Across the table, not from the stage. Byrd connects in the honest, unguarded moments, talking openly about forgiveness, fathers, regret, and the weight people carry that no résumé will ever reveal.

The people who get heard are not fearless. They just refuse to let the fear do the talking for them. Your voice isn't noise. When you use it, you're asserting your presence and your value. Nicole Fleischmann, on using your voice. #UsingYourVoice #SpeakUp #Confidence #OvercomingFear #Leadership #SelfAdvocacy #FindYourVoice #PersonalGrowth #Shorts
The bravest thing most of us will ever do is refuse to abandon ourselves in order to be accepted. In this episode Lee Cage Jr. sits down with Jordan Jones, a project and engagement manager at Workday. Jordan talks about leaving public health, looking honestly at the next ten years, and choosing not to let the work turn him into someone he doesn't recognize. He names something a lot of us feel and rarely say out loud, that people can sense when you are performing and they can feel it when you are real. If you have ever felt the pull to armor up and become a more acceptable version of yourself, I hope you stay for all of it. This is a conversation about belonging to yourself first. Guest: Jordan Jones, Project and Engagement Manager at Workday. Find his food page, Meals by Jordan, on Instagram.
Andrea Mata, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist, the founder of BrightSpot Families, and the author of The No. 2 Parenting Book. Her career has been spent in the trenches of family life, helping parents build stronger bonds with their children, protect their own mental health, and find clarity in the middle of the daily chaos that no parenting class ever fully prepares you for. But this episode goes somewhere different. Andrea and I get real and personal about what actually matters in raising kids today, how tragedy turned to triumph in her own life (and mine as well) and more... This one isn't just a conversation. It's a reckoning, a release, and a reminder that even the people who help others heal are still doing the work themselves. A powerful close to a powerful month. Listen now. Subscribe. Share.Disclaimer: This might be the most vulnerable conversation I've ever had on camera.... closing out Mental Health Month with a voice every parent (and survivor of tragedy) needs to hear. #15MinutesWith #DrAndreaMata #BrightspotFamilies #MentalHealthMonth #ParentingMatters #FamilyMentalHealth
Leadership is easy when the stakes are low. Sonya Thompson has built her career proving what it looks like when they're not. As President of Compass Connections, Sonya leads an organization devoted to caring for some of the most vulnerable populations in the country. Her work demands operational excellence and deep humanity in equal measure, and she delivers both, every single day, in environments where the margin for error is thin and the meaning of the work is everything. In this conversation, we will talk about what she calls the "Superhero Generation", what it takes to lead a mission-driven organization at scale, why service has to be more than a slogan stitched onto a wall, and how the best leaders show up for people the world too often overlooks.

Rose is a licensed therapist and a U.S. Army veteran who knows firsthand what it means to serve, to struggle, and to heal. Her work sits at the intersection of clinical expertise and lived experience, which gives her a perspective most therapists simply can't replicate. In this conversation, Rose talks about what veterans actually need from mental health care, how trauma shows up long after the uniform comes off, and why the work of healing is never linear.
