#11: An Austin legend and food & bev industry savant , Susan Shields is the co-owner and founder of Nate's Baked Goods and Coffee. Susan is full of so much energy and passion for her business and the people she gets to take care of every single day. With a small stint in NYC as a reporter for a magazine, Susan learned that her heart and talents belonged elsewhere. After 20+ years working in restaurants, she took the leap to start her own. Susan is magnetic with her energy and such a deeply kind woman. If you are looking to make a pivot in your career and need some inspiration, this one is for you.

#10: You know those people that always seem to be at a high vibration level regardless of what's going on? Today on our Outside Voice episode, we discuss having a 'sunny disposition' about your life and the things that happen to you. Not toxic positivity or delusion, but a grounded stance on the tone you take in your daily life. It's such a full volume way to live ;)

ps. sorry for the birds! we took a new route this week and it was louder than expected. back to the usual spot next week.

#9: Current island man and former actor, Steve Talley, joins us live from the lanai in Kauai as we discuss his career in the film industry and all of the pivots he’s made since leaving acting (mostly) behind. We cover his midwest upbringing, why he chose a career in Hollywood, and some of his favorite & least favorite parts of life. Honest, blunt, and straight off the cuff, Steve has a unique opinion on almost every topic. Our conversation with Steve was really fun. We hope you get a kick of out it!

#8: Confidence is the foundation of everything we pursue. It determines whether you take a leap, ask for the room, bet on yourself. Without it, your talent and passions sit on the bench. Listen to hear more on why confidence is a necessary element to living life at full volume.

#7: Meet our very best friend and the third member of the sister trio! Cody is our favorite person on the planet. Known for being extremely thoughtful, kind, creative, caring, and quietly bold, Cody lives in Kauai, HI after living in Texas for most of her life. She is living the island life and having the best time exploring what it means to live life at full volume for herself. We discuss her journey, perspectives, and what it means to have a sister bond. Leave any questions for Cody or the sisters the comments and we will answer them!

#6: Influence is everywhere, whether you notice it or not. In this episode, we're unpacking how the world around you shapes your thoughts, decisions, and behaviors in ways you might not even realize. But it goes both ways. We are constantly influencing the people in our lives too, often without noticing. Tune in for a conversation about the invisible force that connects us all.

#5: Dylan Mandell is a social media presence who uses his platform to promote faith, fitness, and health, but more importantly, he lives what he shares. He has spoken publicly, taught sermons, traveled, and takes every opportunity to serve others and encourage people wherever he is placed.

Dylan has been diagnosed with cancer for the fourth time. Along the way, he has had to leave college twice, undergo major surgery and intensive treatment, and walk through seasons that would have caused many people to step back from life altogether. Instead of allowing cancer to define his life, Dylan has committed himself fully to what he believes is his calling. He is choosing to fight it with faith and fitness and to use his story to encourage others.

He believes his life is meant to show what God’s power really looks like and what it means to experience real joy when you know truth and walk closely with Him through ordinary moments, life and death choices, and everything in between.

Dylan is someone pursuing his passions at full volume. He is grounded in faith, committed to serving others, and choosing to live fully and joyfully even in the middle of uncertainty.

#4: Consistency is something we all can struggle with. This week on Outside Voice, we get into why it can be so much harder than it looks, what's getting in the way, and the small shifts that have helped us start building habits that actually stick. If you're someone who wants to show up for yourself more consistently but can't quite figure out why you keep stalling, this one is for you.
