  • The Lonely Price of Olympic Gold | Lindsey Vonn
    Feb 6 2026

    Lindsey Vonn reveals the hidden cost of becoming the greatest downhill skier of all time: devastating loneliness, crippling depression, and an exhausting pattern of people-pleasing that nearly broke her.

    You've probably felt that same pressure to make everyone else happy while your own needs get pushed aside, or wondered how to come back after life knocks you down repeatedly. She shares the exact mental shifts that helped her process trauma without storing it in her body, the journaling practice that kept her grounded through 20 years of crashes and comebacks, and why working on yourself isn't selfish.

    You'll learn how to stop abandoning yourself in relationships and career decisions, and discover that your greatest moments come not from perfect performances, but from pushing past your absolute limits when everything seems impossible.

    Lindsey’s books:

    • Strong is the New Beautiful
    • Rise: My Story

    In this episode you will:

    • Discover how to turn every crash and failure into fuel for your next breakthrough instead of emotional baggage
    • Learn the brain spotting technique that releases years of stored trauma in a single session
    • Break through the exhausting pattern of people-pleasing that drains your energy and authenticity

  • Why Most People Will Never Build Wealth (And How to Be Different) | Vivian Tu
    Feb 2 2026

    Vivian Tu reveals the brutal truth about prediction markets that are really just gambling in disguise, and why most people will stay stuck in a comfortable but unfulfilling B+ life.

    She shares the powerful mindset shift that separates people who build wealth from those who stay trapped in scarcity, explaining why getting comfortable with discomfort is essential for growth.

    Vivian breaks down the buy borrow die strategy wealthy people use to never pay taxes, and why generational wealth is really about generational knowledge.

    She opens up about being the generation in her family tree who had to plant the seeds even though she may never taste all the fruit, and how her immigrant parents' sacrifices shaped her relentless work ethic and unshakeable belief that only good things happen to girls like her.

    The Greatness Playbook: The Financial Freedom Edition

    Vivian’s books:

    • Rich AF
    • Well Endowed

    In this episode you will:

    • Understand how wealthy people use the buy borrow die strategy to build assets instead of buying stuff and why this knowledge gap keeps generational wealth in the hands of the few
    • Break free from the myth that you're bad with money and reframe your relationship as being on a money journey that you control
    • Transform your approach to relationships by recognizing that your partner is the single most important financial decision you'll ever make and why love alone will never be enough
    • Discover why embracing discomfort is the only way to escape the dangerous trap of a B+ life where you tread water for years without ever reaching your full potential
    • Master the three step plan that separates people who create financial abundance from those who stay stuck in the same place for decades
