  • Rochester ny

    Listened to the misha brown episode who I was not familiar with. He is from Rochester where I am from. Loved the episode and getting to know someone who is from here too. Also support Elliot going to RIT. It’s such a great school full of diversity.

  • Constructive Criticism

    I love the show, however, I find Elliott hard to listen to because he says like, and, and um too much. I’m happy he wants to put himself out there, but those are things to watch when speaking publicly. Still love the show tho.

  • To answer your question

    On the episode with Elliott to answer your questions about TX beaches being from San Antonio, we go to Port aransas or there is South Padre. We go to those beaches to vacation if we’re staying in the state which ALOT of us do but yeah no one is coming to TX for the beaches lol it is nowhere near going to a beach like in FL..if a Texan wants to spend more money and go to better water we are driving to FL!

  • Intros would be helpful!

    Loved the last episode on the Maternal Instinct Netflix doc but the episode would’ve flowed a lot better if you shared an introduction on what the doc was actually about and a little background information on the relationships. I know this has been requested before. Just a thought!

Tie-Dye, TikTok & Turning Points with Gabbie Egan
Q: How did TikTok change your finances and life?
TikTok launched her into a money-making creator path (Creator Fund), which allowed her to pay off debts and invest back into life and family, enabling their fresh start during a tough period.
Employment Law with Paige Sparks
Q: How do you handle content creation and the pushback from law firms about social media?
There can be pushback, but with careful safety and edge—disclaimers, choosing what to share, and keeping it professional—I built a platform that educates while protecting client privacy and maintaining professional boundaries.
Employment Law with Paige Sparks
Q: Did you always know you wanted to do employment law or did you pivot to it later?
I originally wanted to be a prosecutor but switched after shadowing one; I found employment law on the ground through getting fired and pursuing a different path, which led me to specialize in advising employees and employers.
