From a last-minute dinner at Carbone to closing deals with strangers-turned-allies, this solocast unpacks how belief in the unlikely can shift reality. It’s not about the table—it’s about the mindset. Through personal stories and reflections on past guests, you’ll hear how unwavering optimism becomes a serious tool for building success, even when the odds say no.

This episode is about the thing that always comes up—time. The kind of time that’s quiet, consistent, and easy to overlook. I talk about what my dad gave me growing up, what I’m trying to pass on to my kids now, and why some of our most memorable moments cost almost nothing. You’ll also hear from guests like Garrett Larson and Garrett White about what they’ve learned—sometimes the hard way—about keeping family first, even while building big things.

Sue Bryce knows the pattern—gifted creatives doing meaningful work and barely getting by. For years, she was one of them. In this episode, she unpacks the personal and professional shifts that took her from charging $400 a week to building a business that generates millions. She breaks down the emotional block that stops most creatives from asking for money, the mindset shift that finally changed everything, and the simple revenue calculator that reframed her goals.

She also shares how a single sale rewired her beliefs—and why creatives are better at business than they think. If you’ve ever struggled to price your work, ask for your value, or believe you can earn a living doing what you love, this one’s for you.
