Liftoff Journeys
Her daughter wanted to bathe people for money. His parents sent him to study volcanoes.
That’s Liftoff Journeys.
It’s me sitting down with really interesting people and letting the conversation go where it actually goes. Not the résumé stuff. Not the polished story. The parts you only get when people stop editing themselves.
The conversations always drift into the stuff that usually gets skipped; the wrong turns, the awkward pauses, the decisions that felt risky but were really ultimately smart. People talk the way they talk when they’re being honest with a friend.
As you’re listening, you’re not sitting there thinking about them, you’re thinking about you. You realize the choice you’ve been putting off and the part of your life that feels like it’s waiting for a move is ready to be unleashed.
This is the podcast for people who don’t need context. People who don’t need to “learn” anything. People like you, who just listen, and somehow things start clicking.
Put this podcast on while you’re doing literally ...anything... and end up more invested than you meant to be, because the conversations are that good.
If you like stories that unfold in real time, without a script or a clean ending, Liftoff Journeys will pull you in.

From Bubble Bathers to Big Dreams: The Moment That Started Liftoff Journeys
“When I grow up, I want to be a bubble bather.”
At three years old, my daughter didn’t know what a career was, but she knew exactly what mattered to her: helping people, having fun, and creating happiness. That moment stayed with me. What’s remarkable is that those same values have guided every chapter of her life since, through different paths, different choices, and now, working alongside me at Liftoff Enterprises.
In this relaunch episode of Liftoff Journeys, I sit down with longtime friend and collaborator Steve Olenski (aka The CMO Whisperer) to share the true origin story of this podcast and why it’s coming back now. We talk about the quiet moments that define us, the trust it takes to honor who we are at our core, and how easily that trust gets disrupted as we grow up and “get practical.”
This conversation also introduces the heartbeat behind my upcoming book, The Trust Threshold: the idea that growth doesn’t come from reinventing ourselves, but from crossing the invisible line between self-doubt and self-trust.
This episode sets the tone for everything Liftoff Journeys is about:
real stories, real people, and the moments that shape us long before success has a name.
If you’ve ever wondered whether the things that lit you up early in life still matter, this journey starts here.
