    Ep. 172 Protect The Idea Before You Share It: The Patent Mindset Every Founder Needs with Austin Bonderer
    2026/02/10
    What if sharing your big idea too early could quietly cost you everything you’re building? In this episode, Olivia sits down with patent attorney Austin Bonderer to unpack the mindset every founder needs before talking about their innovation. With experience securing over 700 U.S. patents, Austin breaks down what patents really are, why timing matters more than most entrepreneurs realize, and the costly mistakes he sees founders make when excitement outweighs strategy.

    Together, they explore the real differences between patents and trade secrets, how to decide if protecting your idea is worth the investment, and why “keeping your mouth shut” can sometimes be the smartest business move you make. This conversation goes far beyond legal definitions it’s about protecting your time, your vision, and your long-term leverage as a founder. If you’re building something new (or thinking about it), this episode will change how you approach sharing, scaling, and safeguarding your ideas.

  • Ep 171 From Game Days To Cocktail Brand Building with Former NFL Player Paul Perkins

    Ep 171 From Game Days To Cocktail Brand Building with Former NFL Player Paul Perkins
    2026/02/03
    In this episode of Achieving Success with Olivia Atkin, Olivia sits down with former NFL player Paul Perkins to explore what it really looks like to reinvent yourself when the game you built your identity around comes to an end. From his years in the NFL playing for multiple teams and navigating constant transitions to redefining success beyond the playbook, Paul shares honest reflections on identity, loyalty, relationships, and staying true to who you are in every room you enter. This conversation pulls back the curtain on the mental and emotional shifts that come with life after professional sports, and why growth often requires letting go of the version of yourself you once were.

    Paul also opens up about building SipTale, the non-carbonated canned cocktail brand he co-founded with his brother, and how the discipline, teamwork, and resilience learned on game days now fuel his approach to entrepreneurship. From sitting on an idea before the product ever existed to disrupting a crowded beverage market, Paul shares what it takes to build something with long-term vision, patience, and purpose. Whether you’re navigating a career pivot, building a brand, or redefining what success means to you, this episode is a powerful reminder that the goal can stay the same even when the path forward changes.

    Ep 170 Inside NASA: Leading Through Legacy, Loss, And Innovation with Dorothy Rasco
    2026/01/27
    What does it take to lead when the mission that defined a generation must come to an end? In this powerful episode of Achieving Success with Olivia Atkin, Olivia sits down with Dorothy Rasco, a former senior leader at NASA whose career helped guide one of the most complex and emotional transitions in spaceflight history the retirement of the Space Shuttle program. This conversation goes far beyond aerospace, revealing what leadership looks like when the stakes are historic, the decisions are unpopular, and the responsibility extends far beyond yourself.

    Dorothy shares what it was like to help retire an icon while honoring its legacy, navigating loss, resistance, and change inside an organization built on mission-first thinking. From leading teams through uncertainty, balancing innovation with safety, and communicating “the why” when not everyone agrees, to the quiet leadership lessons learned offstage listening more than speaking, respecting every role on a team, and understanding when to hold on and when to let go. This episode is a masterclass in leadership, adaptability, and legacy. Whether you’re leading a team, building something new, or facing a season of change, this conversation offers rare insight into how progress is made not by erasing the past, but by carrying it forward with intention.

  • Ep 169 The 90-Day Difference Between Wanting A Podcast And Having One

    Ep 169 The 90-Day Difference Between Wanting A Podcast And Having One
    2026/01/20
    Most people don’t fail at podcasting they never actually start. In this solo episode of Achieving Success with Olivia Atkin, Olivia breaks down the real difference between wanting a podcast and having one, and why the next 90 days matter more than the next five years of planning. If you’ve been sitting on an idea, waiting to feel ready, or telling yourself you’ll start “when things slow down,” this episode is your wake-up call.

    Olivia walks you through a simple, realistic roadmap to go from idea to launch without overcomplicating the process covering clarity, consistency, and momentum over perfection. She addresses the most common objections head-on (time, tech, audience size) and reframes podcasting as a long-term visibility and authority play, not a one-time launch moment. By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly what to focus on, what to stop waiting for, and how to make sure that 90 days from now, you don’t just have an idea you have a podcast that’s actually out in the world.

  • Ep 168 You’re Not Addicted To Your Phone You’re Avoiding Yourself with Eddie Truong

    Ep 168 You’re Not Addicted To Your Phone You’re Avoiding Yourself with Eddie Truong
    2026/01/13
    We tell ourselves we’re “just busy,” “just checking one thing,” or “just staying connected.” But what if our constant pull toward our phones isn’t about productivity or distraction at all what if it’s about avoiding ourselves? In this episode of Achieving Success with Olivia Atkin, Olivia sits down with Eddie Truong, founder of ERA Coaching, to unpack the hidden reasons high achievers struggle with stillness, rest, and presence even after reaching the success they once dreamed of.

    Eddie shares why phone and screen dependency is often a symptom, not the root problem, and how burnout, overworking, and overthinking are deeply tied to discomfort with being alone with our thoughts and emotions. Together, they reframe success beyond hustle and external achievement, explore why rest can be a competitive advantage, and challenge the belief that slowing down means falling behind. This conversation isn’t about deleting apps or abandoning ambition it’s about building a life where success doesn’t require self-abandonment. If you’ve ever felt uneasy when things go quiet, this episode will change how you see your phone, your time, and yourself.

  • Ep 167 The Quiet Work Behind The Spotlight: Rituals, Resilience, And Being Seen with Actress Sofie Kane

    Ep 167 The Quiet Work Behind The Spotlight: Rituals, Resilience, And Being Seen with Actress Sofie Kane
    2026/01/06
    Success doesn’t always look like momentum, noise, or constant visibility. Sometimes, it looks like presence, self-trust, and the quiet choices no one else sees. In this episode of Achieving Success with Olivia Atkin, Olivia sits down with actress Sofie Kane for a grounded and deeply human conversation about what it really takes to build a meaningful career without disconnecting from yourself along the way. From redefining success through love and gratitude to navigating grief while still showing up for life and work, Sofie shares how her inner world has become just as important as what happens on screen.

    Together, they explore the unseen work behind performance and ambition turning routines into rituals, showing up even when self-doubt is loud, protecting creative quiet in a hyper-visible world, and learning when to try anyway. This conversation moves through auditions, boundaries, journaling, social media, and the moments that shape us when no one is watching. If you’ve ever questioned how to stay true to yourself while still moving forward, this episode invites you to rethink what being “seen” really means and why the quiet work might be the most powerful part of all.

    Ep 166 When Slowing Down Means Moving Forward: From Self-Doubt To Global Stages with Neeraja Ganesh
    2025/12/30
    What if saying no to big opportunities was the very thing that moved your life forward? In this powerful episode, Neeraja Ganesh shares the untold story behind her bold decision to walk away from a high-level corporate career not for burnout or backlash, but to stay aligned with what mattered most. Through honest reflection and raw storytelling, she reveals how intentionally slowing down led to an entirely new path: one fueled by purpose, visibility, and a mindset that reshaped everything. From choosing family over fast-tracked promotions to navigating reinvention without a clear plan, Neeraja’s journey offers a deeply human look at what it really means to lead on your own terms.

    Together, we explore the quiet courage it takes to pivot, the mindset shift behind sustainable growth, and the question that guided Neeraja through each transition: “What’s the worst that can happen?” If you’ve ever wrestled with imposter syndrome, feared stepping out of line, or wondered if slowing your pace meant losing momentum this conversation will meet you exactly where you are. Get ready to rethink how you define progress, power, and your place in the room.

    Ep 165 Beyond The Bouncer: The Hidden Psychology That Makes Nightlife Safer with Rick Bistline, PhD
    2025/12/23
    Nightlife safety isn’t about big egos or brute strength it’s about psychology, presence, and the human connection happening at the door. In this powerful episode of Achieving Success with Olivia Atkin, Rick Bistline returns to uncover the unseen world behind security work. He breaks down why the industry is shifting from “bouncer culture” to emotionally intelligent leadership, how mental health impacts every decision made in high-pressure environments, and why hospitality not force is what truly keeps people safe.

    Rick pulls from his experience in policing, education, and consulting to reveal the stressors most teams silently carry, the moments where ego creates unnecessary danger, and the cultural changes venues must embrace if they want safer, more profitable operations. Whether you run a bar, lead a team, or simply want to understand the psychology of protection, this conversation reframes everything you thought you knew about nightlife security. Tune in and discover how strategy, empathy, and mindset transform not just venues but the people who lead them.
