🎧 The School of Moxie Podcast 🎧
Brought to you by Sensible Woo...
This isn’t business advice wrapped in clickbait. (It’s better.)
Each season, we break down a story — TV shows, movies, pop culture moments — and use it to torch the tired business advice that forgot you're a human being (not a productivity app).
🧠 What does real leadership look like when nobody’s handing out trophies?
⚡ What happens when you stop chasing visibility and start chasing truth?
🔥 How do you build a brand that actually feels like you... without selling your soul for engagement?
No freebies. No funnel bait. No awkward pitches where someone fake-laughs and asks you to “circle back.” Just real conversations... raw ones... the kind you don’t get when everyone’s trying to impress each other.
If you’re tired of boring business podcasts, safe conversations, and performative vulnerability... you’re going to love it here. You’re the driver with no pressure to follow anyone. No pressure to clap on command. Just grown-up agency... the way it should be.
✨ Business should feel a little messy — and a whole lot meaningful.
✨ Learning should leave you buzzing (not bored to death).
✨ And if nobody’s told you lately — you already belong here.
Subscribe, tune in... and let’s build something way better — together.

Season 3 Trailer: Guess Who’s Back?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Season 3 of the School of Moxie Podcast is officially on the way.
If you’re new here, School of Moxie is the podcast where we use TV shows and movies to talk about business. Not the fluffy “compare leadership styles” kind of conversations… the real ones. The decisions, pressure, and identity shifts that come with building something that has to survive in the real world.
Season 1 walked through the apocalypse with The Last of Us.
Season 2 was a solo coaching season inspired by Ted Lasso.
For Season 3, the guests are back — but there’s a twist.
Every founder joining the show is bringing their comfort show or comfort movie. The one they rewatch when life gets stressful. The story that resets their nervous system. The characters that quietly reveal what they value most.
But this season isn’t just about nostalgia.
It’s about stakes.
Every entrepreneur featured this season runs a business that carries their real life — their housing, health insurance, groceries, and future. No dual-income parachutes. No hidden safety nets.
You fly… or you fail.
And when the stakes are that real, the way someone watches a story tells you everything.
New episodes begin dropping this summer.
And don’t worry… the School of Moxie torch for Pedro Pascal is still burning strong. I have a feeling he might wander into Season 3 somewhere.
Purely coincidental. Completely professional reasons.

Guess who's back? That's right. School of Moxie is back for season three. If you are new around here, this is the podcast where we use TV shows and movies to talk about our businesses. Not the fluffy, let's compare our leadership styles kind of way. I mean, the real stuff y'all. The decisions and the pressure, the identity shifts that come with building something that has to survive in the real world. Season one took us through the apocalypse with The Last of Us. Season two was a solo coaching season inspired by Ted Lasso. And now for season three, I'm bringing the guests back. But I've got a twist as always. Every guest this season is showing up with their comfort show or comfort movie. You know the one, it's that show you rewatch when you're stressed out. It's the movie you quote by heart. It's the story that resets your nervous system and reminds you who the hell you are. But this season isn't just about nostalgia. This season is about stakes. Every founder joining me this season runs a business that carries their real life, their housing, their health insurance, their groceries, their future. There are no dual income parachutes in any of these conversations. There's no safety net quietly floating overhead. You fly or you fail. And when the stakes are that real, the conversations change. Suddenly the way someone watches a show tells you everything, what characters they root for, what mistakes they forgive, what kind of leadership they admire, and what kind of risk they're willing to take. It turns out you can learn an awful lot about someone's business philosophy from the stories that comfort them. So yes, you might hear about your favorite shows this season, but you'll also hear about the moments when founders had to bet on themselves. The decisions that kept the lights on, the lessons that only show up when the business isn't a hobby. It's the thing carrying your whole fucking life. New episodes start dropping this summer. And don't worry, I'm still holding a candle for Papi Pascal I have a feeling he might wander into season three somewhere. Purely coincidental, of course. Completely professional reasons. Until then, welcome back to School of Moxie.
