Greatness Adjacent: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Podgo
I started this podcast with my dear friend Mondi, but she decided she’s happy, for now, to be home with her gorgeous kids. So, I’m flying solo. Greatness Adjacent is a mini deep-dive with people around me who are doing all sorts of inspiring things. I want to hear about their journeys, what the road to here was like for them. I love it all: the failures and missteps along the way that lead to the best pivots, the successes that came later, the discovery of an unexpected calling when life serves up its inevitable surprises, the victory of sheer sticktoitiveness after years of grit work and the easy breezy paths when sometimes personal gifts are just obvious. These stories empower me to keep trying to figure out what my thing is, to go after that and to stay open to change.

Daisy Haggard: The Eternal Optimist
Daisy is an MVP of my life. She’s an actor, a comedian, a voiceover artist and now show creator, writer, executive producer, BAFTA nominee, BOSS. She found her strongest stride yet as a woman in her 40s with 2 young children. I love her. In addition to her gigantic talent, no one is more real or more fun. Forever my girl, forever want some of what she’s having.Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share! http://greatnessadjacentpodcast.com/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Katie Capano: The Superhero
I love the Capano sisters big time. Christy was on before, and now I got this real-life hero. If you were writing her as a character, her accomplishments wouldn’t be believed. The idea of a Nurse Practitioner getting her doctorate (with degrees from Georgetown and Johns Hopkins no less), Licensed, Certified Midwife, Longtime Acro Yoga practitioner/teacher/teacher trainer, former Doctor Without Borders participant, bi-lingual traveling nurse serving remote indigenous communities in Central America, and social justice advocate, it seems farfetched and ridiculous. How could anyone do all that?! Well, meet Katie Capano. She does all that and more! She builds field hospitals. It’s madness of the best kind. I can’t gush enough about her work, her intelligence, her bravery, and her badassery. She’s Science Spice meets Empress of Woo. She’s taken all her passions and mixed them into a stunning life potion. I’ll have what she’s having. Awestruck is an understatement.Love the show?

Lydia Janssen: The Muse and Master
From a baby violinist to a tiny dancer falling in love with ballet at 6 years old, to becoming a world-renowned painter, Lydia has never not lived an artistic life. She’s a tremendous, unstoppable creative force. Nothing has derailed her being able to express herself with her particular genius-not injury, not initially having very little money, not a pandemic, nothing. From dancer to painter, incredible people have sought her out because her talent is astounding. Choreographers, gallery owners, authors…she has the wow factor in spades. Lydia comes alive talking all things movement, art, painting, music, philosophy and travel. Her life, like her brilliant work, is big and beautiful. Love the show?

Kim Carruthers: The Reformer
Kim sculpts bodies, minds, and spirits. She's a master Pilates instructor, founder of Physical Perfection Pilates. Check out her IG (@physicalperfectionpilates) and you'll see why this is the perfect name for her studio. She's a life and wellness coach as well. Her beauty, joy, and power make her a personal icon to me. Her private client list is filled with celebrities and athletes. She has a long wait-list for her private, bespoke sessions. She gives just as much back to communities in Los Angeles where Pilates isn't necessarily easily available to everyone with her other company, Pilates In The Hood. Pilates In The Hood is a program fully covered by insurance (the 1st of its kind) that brings not only Pilates to people, but also jobs for women who can train with her and then teach for Pilates In The Hood. She says she's always seen herself as "the Black Jane Fonda" and I absolutely see that. She has an app coming, a clothing line in the works, her custom resistance bands are out and an online studio all on the horizon. I cannot wait! I've been insanely lucky to take 3 private classes over zoom with her and she's THE BEST. I mean, it's torture, I feel like every muscle in my body is on fire...but in a good way. Kim FTW!Love the show?

Deva Dalporto: The Accidental Influencer
Deva Dalporto is one of the nicest human beings I’ve ever met. This beautiful, smart woman is an actress, a writer, a painter, a mom, and an accidental influencer. She does them all so damn well too. She created a parody video in 2013 that went viral and continues to create hilarious, relevant content that resonates with parents across the globe. Check her out everywhere: @mylifesuckers. She built her brand on love, humor, authenticity, and her truths. I met her in college and was a goner from the get-go. You’ll see what I mean. She’s a complete delight. No wonder the world wants more from her. Love the show?

Suze Yalof Schwartz: The Gift Of Unplugging
Suze is a brilliant entrepreneur who was the pioneer in making meditation accessible to everyone. A former fashion editor, Suze is the founder and creative genius behind Unplug Meditation. There are 2 gorgeous studio locations in Santa Monica and West Hollywood, and she developed an app from scratch. Her teachers are the best in the field and she has a Teacher Training program with graduates who have opened their own meditation studios all over the world. She is a force of positivity, optimism and the never, ever, ever give up mentality. She shares her information and expertise openly. She believes anyone can achieve their dreams, and she wants to see people go after what they want. “No” doesn’t stop her, she’s not afraid to start projects all over, from the beginning, and she’s worked in every single role within her company, learning what each job really needs. After sitting with her, I felt charged up, ready to dream big and full of hope. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Master Builder: David Stine
Dave Stine can build one-of-kind, custom pieces for your home. He builds them out of lumber from his family farm that rests on 1,000 acres. But he can also sew. And, his college job was as a diesel mechanic because he speaks cars too. Oh, and he’s an attorney, NBD. Essentially, he’s a unicorn. Dave is an absolute gem of a guy. His work is beautiful, hand-crafted, slow-made and sustainable. He runs his very successful furniture business with his wife, and his awesome story is full of pivots and dream-chasing that panned out perfectly. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Megan Ferguson: The Stay At Home Actress
Megan Ferguson is everything I imagined her to be and more – hilarious, smart, talented, beautiful, honest, and all about action over apathy. From her upbringing in the South to ballerina to actor to becoming a mom and a good human, she’s real, down to earth, and has the most winning way about her. We talk about her career, how she deals with anxiety, how she gives herself and anyone else who may be interested “good human homework”, which are tangible ways to get involved tackling injustice and other big issues of our time. Her new show “Soundtrack” is on Netflix and she has a fun, juicy dream of a role on “Curb Your Enthusiasm” this season also. She’s a very, very good egg. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
