Amy Nelson is back! Every time we sit down, I walk away fired up and inspired to do more, be more, and lead with more clarity. This time we dove into women in leadership and how damn hard it can be to walk the line between being “too soft” or “too much.”

We get into:
⚡ Leading with authenticity
⚡ Why being “bossy” is actually a compliment
⚡ Why asking for forgiveness beats waiting for permission

What do you do when someone tells you you’ve only got seven months to live?

If you’re Jason Tharp, you decide to do the exact opposite of giving up. You strip away the masks, you stop apologizing for who you are, and you start spreading joy in the most unexpected ways.

Jason is an author, artist, and cancer survivor who’s beating the odds every single day. In our chat, he shares how a Stage 4 brain c...

You can’t plan for the moments that change you, but you can decide what to do with them. That’s what I loved about my conversation with Sarah Gormley.

Sarah is a Columbus local and the owner of Sarah Gormley Gallery in the Short North—and she’s lived one hell of a story. We got into everything: standing on the porch screaming “F***” with her daughter in response to her mom's cancer diagnosis, dating as a...

Michael Flinner spent 17 years building a successful logistics company—only to walk away and start from scratch with something completely different: The Fluff, a premium pickup-and-delivery laundry service in Central Ohio.

We get into the unsexy realities of building something sustainable, why convenience is the new currency, and the importance of staying “in the mud” when you’re laying the foundation of a bu...

I’ve been following Ali Prato for a long time—so having her on the show was a full circle moment.

Ali is the host of Infertile AF and co-founder of Fertility Rally, and she’s been one of the loudest, realest, and most compassionate voices in the infertility space since 2019. In this episode, she shares her own journey with secondary infertility, miscarriage, and IVF—and how she turned it all into a platform that’s help...

You know it’s gonna be a good one when Amy Nelson is in the building—and this month’s Ask Amy is no exception.

We dive into the chaos of summer mom life, building a business with limited time, how to actually create content that works and doesn’t suck up your soul, and why you don’t need to be an AI expert—you just need to know how to ask a good question.

We also end up breaking down Jeff Bezos’ $50 million wedding, the...

Let’s talk about ketamine—and not the kind of convo you’d have at a college party.

In this week’s episode, I sit down with Dr. David Caldwell and Dr. Melissa Briggs-Phillips of Mindset Integrative Ketamine Care for one of the most powerful, personal, and mind-expanding conversations we’ve ever had on this show.

Together, they’re pioneering a new approach to healing trauma through ketamine infusion therapy (aka KIT)—back...

What do you get when you mix a rebellious heart, a deep-rooted love for real food, and a personality bigger than life itself? You get Benji—and if you don’t know him yet, buckle up.

In this episode, I sit down with the founder of Yellowbird Food Shed, a man on a mission to radically rethink the way we eat. From slinging chickens out of his garage to building a full-blown grocery revolution, Benji’s story is wild, inspi...

If Instagram disappeared tomorrow… would your business?

This week, I’m pulling back the curtain on something I’ve been building behind the scenes for over a year—the B-Lab. She’s finally here, and in true business-birthing fashion, she was a big baby. 

We’re talking:

• The messy magic of moving from ideation to execution
• Why social media isn’t a business model (and what to do instead)
• How to create influence with actual ...

Okay, so this might be the most ridiculous board meeting you’ve ever listened to—but it’s also the most fun I’ve had planning something in a long time.

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Anthony and Kim—my co-conspirators for the Lemonade Stand Fundraiser taking over Columbus on Sunday, August 10th. The idea? A kid-run, adult-supported lemonade stands all across the city… raising money for a cause that actually mat...

Can You Really Build a Career Around Boy Bands? (Spoiler: Yes.)

This week, I’m sitting down with Boyband Stacy—the ultimate fangirl turned full-blown entrepreneur. She went from dubbing VHS tapes of TRL in high school to managing an actual boy band.

🎤 What it’s like working behind the scenes...

If you caught last week’s solocast, you already know—we’re in the season of building. And this week, we’re taking things one step further.

Think of this episode as Part Two: a deeper dive into the mindset work behind the business and brand consulting offer I’ve quietly been building behind the scenes. It’s not quite ready for a full reveal—but I wanted to bring you along for the journey.

You’ve got a business idea that won’t leave you alone—but every time you think about starting, the self-doubt creeps in. Sound familiar?

In this solo episode, I’m talking directly to the version of you who knows you're meant for more—but feels stuck in place, overthinking the leap. Whether you’re in the daydream phase or obsessing over the same spreadsheet you built 2 years ago, this is your sign to stop waiting f...

I’ve been "bossy" the moment I popped out of the womb.

Loud. Confident. Opinionated.

And I'm lucky. Because somewhere along the way, I realized—none of that was actually a bad thing. Being bold and self-assured shouldn’t be something we’re taught to tone down. It should be something we protect fiercely.

That’s why this week’s episode with Dr. Lisa Hinkelman hit me so damn h...

I never thought my Bluffton, Ohio deli girl era would come full circle like this—but here we are.

This week on The Keri Croft Show, I’m joined by the one-and-only Jeff Timmons. From his humble Ohio roots to global fame, Jeff shares what life in a boy band was really like: the mental toll, the money misconceptions, the pressure to keep climbing even when you’ve already “made it.”

We talked about:

• Why 98 Degrees almost...

I’ve known Amber for a long time. She was an OG at SOS and back then I could sense something was off, but I didn’t know the full story. I didn’t know she was quietly fighting a battle with food, control, and over-exercise that was stealing so much more than just her energy—it was stealing her presence. Her joy. Her health. Her period.

It wasn’t until we recorded the Infertility Series that I learned the whole story—and...

From the moment Oyauma Garrison walked into the studio—I knew this conversation was going to be so goddamn special. As the CEO of Maryhaven—a premier nonprofit rehabilitation center in Central Ohio—Oyauma carries a story that’s deeply personal and incredibly powerful.

We talked about everything: growing up in Baltimore during the crack epidemic, the mentors who helped shape his path, and how he’s now using his platform...
