  • Vision Without Execution Is Useless (Pat Lencioni Explains)

    Vision Without Execution Is Useless (Pat Lencioni Explains)
    Apr 2 2026
    Everyone tends to fall into one of two patterns: thinking or doing. In this conversation, Pat Lencioni explores the tension between visionaries and doers and why some people generate ideas but struggle to act, while others execute but lack direction. More importantly, he breaks down why real progress requires both. This isn’t just about business, but it’s about how we all approach work, goals, and life. Why do we get stuck even when we know what to do? And what actually helps us move forward? We hope you enjoy this one with Pat Lencioni and make sure to check out his books! https://www.tablegroup.com/books/?srsltid=AfmBOoq_hAIT4OVa4oGBoXJHizwaLBpo1AsOUUpZoqb64_xYdXSSvKRT Learn more about your ad choices.

  • 305 | Couples Therapy On Camera (With Dr. John Delony)

    305 | Couples Therapy On Camera (With Dr. John Delony)
    Apr 1 2026
    In our most recent series, we opened up about some of the hardest topics we've discussed: “I’m not here to make you happy.” “I will let you down.” “You don’t need me.” We couldn’t see eye to eye on what they really meant.. So for this episode, we did something different. We brought in Dr. John Delony and let him break it all down (Oh boy hahaha). What started as a conversation quickly turned into real, on-the-spot couples counseling… with all of you watching. 😂 Buy 4 cartons and get the 5th free when you go to https://davidprotein.com/EASTFAM.

  • 304 | things no one warned us about marriage & parenting

    304 | things no one warned us about marriage & parenting
    Mar 25 2026
    Marriage and parenting are often painted as beautiful, fulfilling journeys (and they are!). But there are also parts no one really talks about until you’re in the middle of them. In this episode, we’re getting real about the unexpected challenges that catch couples and parents off guard. From shifting identities and communication struggles to the mental load, loneliness, and loss of spontaneity, we’re unpacking the truths people don’t always share before saying “I do” or bringing home a baby. Whether you’re preparing for marriage, navigating early parenthood, or deep in the trenches, this honest conversation will help you feel seen, understood, and a little more prepared for what’s ahead.

  • 303 | you asked, we gave our advice

    303 | you asked, we gave our advice
    Mar 19 2026
    Four years ago, we recorded an episode built entirely around questions from our community- real questions from you, and our unfiltered advice in response! It ended up being one of our most-loved episodes, and listening back, it still feels just as relevant today. We’re bringing it back because the core of it hasn’t changed: people are still figuring things out, still asking the same kinds of questions, and still looking for honest, thoughtful advice. There’s something special about revisiting where we were, what we said, and seeing how it all holds up now. Whether you were there the first time or you’re hearing it for the first time now, we hope you enjoy this throwback episode and maybe even find a few answers you didn’t know you needed.

  • The Lie You Don’t Know You Believe | Jennie Allen

    The Lie You Don’t Know You Believe | Jennie Allen
    Mar 12 2026
    In this episode, we sit down with our friend, bestselling author, and speaker Jennie Allen. Jennie is also the founder of IF:Gathering, a global movement that equips and disciples women around the world. Jennie has just released her newest book, The Lie You Don't Know You Believe, which explores the hidden lies many of us carry about ourselves. In the book, she unpacks how these quiet but powerful beliefs influence our decisions, our identity, and the way we pursue success and fulfillment. One of the themes we explore in this conversation is the surprising emptiness many people feel after reaching the goals they once believed would finally make them happy- whether it’s career success, influence, financial stability, or personal milestones. Thank you for coming on our show, Jennie! https://www.jennieallen.com/ You can order her book directly here: https://www.amazon.com/Lie-You-Dont-Know-Believe/dp/1400249821?crid=1O55W1X8A66DJ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.z1ASMlbX_ciP8Y5YryxYPaJ6zdNjIGZIwzzOweF24-gj5K23Xjtj3dS0UlZPxaY63-awEySPdUnqKXOCW5riUYfytvqsFyjTN1v44h5iE7-Dl0TkySW2d2F4X0DONwSQ.Y1vMFOIBHK9RFIkiMQ4Tt8VaihRiQR0rSAvoOwIIxO8&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+lie+you+dont+know+you+believe+jennie+allen&nsdOptOutParam=true&qid=1772506059&sprefix=the+lie+you,aps,212&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1&linkCode=sl2&tag=emilycanlette-20&linkId=35a9accd0c8fe7a2444f826bfe26acc5&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl Learn more about your ad choices.

    301| take this for what it’s worth
    Mar 5 2026
    In this episode we dive into one of humanity’s oldest and biggest questions: faith. If thousands of religions exist, what does it really mean to choose a God? Is faith something we inherit, something we discover, or something we decide? This isn’t about winning an argument — it’s about exploring the deep questions that shape how we live our lives. Whether you're religious, spiritual, agnostic, or atheist, this conversation invites you to think critically about what gives life meaning. Join the discussion in the comments!
