  • Midlife: The Night He Asked If He Would Fold

    Midlife: The Night He Asked If He Would Fold
    2026/09/02
    Maybe you’ve had a moment where you looked around at your life and didn’t recognize it. Not because it was bad, exactly. But because everything you’d been holding together had finally stopped holding. That moment has a weight to it that’s hard to describe. And if you’ve been there, this episode is going to feel familiar. Matt Ross spent decades building things. He grew School of Rock from a struggling startup into a global brand. He led teams, created value, stayed in motion. He was the guy with the plan. And then at fifty, everything came apart at the same time. His son had a psychiatric breakdown. His brothers were lost to addiction. Both sets of parents were dying. He’d just lost the company he’d built. And one night he sat alone in his basement and asked himself if he was going to fold. He didn’t fold. But the road back wasn’t fast or clean or dramatic. It was therapy, Al-Anon, medication, a very slow kind of self-honesty, and eventually, a question that changed everything: what if you treated yourself like a business? This conversation is about what it actually looks like to rebuild from the inside out, one careful step at a time. What You’ll Hear: The moment Matt sat in his basement and asked himself if he would fold What it felt like to carry the weight of a disabled son, addicted brothers, and dying parents all at once Why treating yourself like a business became the framework that helped him rebuild The slow, unglamorous work of therapy, Al-Anon, and learning to ask for help How founding One River School gave him the first real sense of purpose he’d ever felt What he means by functional, emotional, and creative growth, and why creative growth might be the missing piece for a lot of us Guest Bio: Matt Ross is an entrepreneur, author, and media executive with nearly 30 years of experience building businesses that inspire passion and creativity. From rocking New York’s airwaves to scaling global education brands, now he is the author of GROW OR FOLD: Transform Yourself in Midlife and Beyond, a profound story of awakening your enthusiasm for growth. Since 2012, Matt has been the Founder and CEO of One River School, a company whose mission is to “Transform Art Education®.” Today, One River operates fifteen schools in six states with plans for substantial growth over the next five years.

  • Blissful Ignorance: The Character Who Saved His Life

    Blissful Ignorance: The Character Who Saved His Life
    2026/08/30
    Some people live their early lives in what Dave Raymond calls blissful ignorance, and he'll be the first to tell you that isn't a bad thing. Growing up as the son of a legendary college football coach, stumbling into becoming the original Philly Fanatic, Dave spent decades inside a life that felt close to charmed. He didn't overthink it. He just showed up, leaned in, and let the joy carry him. Then, in the span of a few weeks, everything changed. His mother received a terminal diagnosis. His seven-year marriage ended. He had a newborn son at home. And for the first time in his life, Dave found himself somewhere he had never been, completely without footing. What he didn't expect was that the character he had spent sixteen years performing would become the thing that slowly pulled him back. Tick by tick. Appearance by appearance. Until he could see something on the other side. Now at 70, Dave is a speaker, author, and happiness advocate who has spent decades studying what it actually takes to build a good life. This conversation travels through bliss and loss, through grief and resilience, and into the quieter question of what we're really being shaped for, even in the seasons that feel like they might break us. What You'll Hear: How growing up in a football coaching family formed Dave's identity, and what he couldn't yet see about himself The role his deaf mother played in shaping the performer he would become How three separate losses arrived in the same few weeks and what that collision felt like from the inside The way the Philly Fanatic became an unexpected lifeline during the darkest stretch of Dave's life What positive psychology taught him about joy, suffering, and not wasting either one How meeting his wife Sandy shifted his understanding of what a partnership was supposed to feel like The moment he finally gave himself permission to call himself a performer, and what that unlocked Guest Bio: Dave Raymond is the original Philly Fanatic, the beloved mascot he performed for sixteen years with the Philadelphia Phillies. A speaker, author, and happiness advocate, Dave has spent decades studying the science of positive psychology and translating it into practical tools for building a meaningful life. He now speaks to organizations and individuals about long-term sustainable happiness, resilience, and finding purpose.

  • Cancer: The Diagnosis That Stopped the Reinventing

    Cancer: The Diagnosis That Stopped the Reinventing
    2026/08/26
    Have you ever been so good at becoming what people needed that you forgot who you actually were underneath it all? Taira Soo did that for almost fifty years. Different rooms, different versions, a new self for every chapter. It felt like a superpower. It was also a way to keep from being seen. Then a friend reached across a lunch table, touched a lump, and said the word that changed everything. What followed wasn't just treatment. It was a strange, forced stillness, the first she'd had in years, and in that quiet, everything she'd been outrunning finally caught up. The pain, the questions, the girl she'd left behind in every reinvention. And then her memory started coming back in fragments, and she began writing them down, and she could not stop. This is a story about the life shift that happens when you can no longer perform your way through. About realizing you were never a series of separate lives, but one continuous thread. About putting the luggage down and finding out the little girl, the dancer, the founder, they were all still there, waiting. Taira didn't set out to write a book. It found her. And on the other side of it, she stopped proving and started living. What You'll Hear: The lunch where a friend said "it's cancer" between bites, and why she didn't fall apart Why a lifetime of adapting felt like strength until it left her a stranger to herself The night after her first infusion, when the stillness surfaced everything she'd buried How her memory returned in fragments and turned into 412 pages she never planned to write What it means to set down an old identity, and grieve the friends who quietly disappear The quieter, more internal life she lives now, with nothing left to prove Guest Bio: Taira Soo is the author of Just a Little Buzzed, a memoir about identity, adaptation, and learning to know yourself after a lifetime of becoming what was needed. She spent years in dance, acting, and fashion before a cancer diagnosis interrupted everything she had built. Her work explores what happens after the performance stops.
