The Good Read for this episode is Gravitas: The 8 Strengths That Redefine Confidence by Lisa Sun

Lisa Sun’s boss wrote this in her first review as a business analyst at the global management consulting firm McKinsey & Company. Sun knew she wasn’t alone in receiving this type of feedback, and over the last two decades, she has been on a journey to uncover what it means to be truly confident.

In this thought-provoking and practical guide, Sun, founder of lifestyle brand Gravitas, has cracked the code to help women build their self-worth on their terms. By doing so, she:

  • debunks the narrow view of confidence society has written for us
  • redefines confidence as an inclusive construct that combines several innate strengths
  • helps you discover your “confidence language” and tap into the source of your self-belief
  • arms you with the tools to flex other strengths so you can shatter your expectations for yourself

Sun shares her journey of self-discovery and growth and combines it with proprietary research, real-world examples, and anecdotes from other successful women who have championed their definition of self-worth. Whatever stage of life you’re in, Gravitas offers valuable insights and strategies to help you succeed in any setting. Whether you are a mom, entrepreneur, creative soul, executive, thinker, maker, or doer, Sun will show you how you can live life with total self-assurance and find your gravitas.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
