You Got a Minute?

We're back — and yeah, we owe you some context. This teaser for Season 2 of You Got a Minute? is Amanda and Lizzie catching you up on where they went: a major surgery, a longer recovery than expected, and the kind of forced stop that ends up teaching you things you didn't know you needed to learn. This isn't a comeback. It's not a snapback or a bounce back. It's something diffe...

One year as business partners: what have we learned? In this episode, we share the real story of what it’s like to run a company together while building a life together. From communication breakdowns to systems that saved us, we’re talking about what worked, what didn’t, and why we’d still choose this, every time.

Play isn’t the opposite of work - it’s the key to doing it better. This week, we’re joined by leadership coach, facilitator, and performance activist Sarah Filman (she/they), founder of Playful Perspectives and co-founder of The Improv Mindset.

Yes, it’s real. And yes, we’ve fired clients over it. In this episode, we get personal about what it means to have a No Assholes Policy, and why we don’t work with people who lead with hubris, ego, or disrespect. We talk about who gets forgiven (and who gets labeled “difficult”), how power protects bad behavior, and what it actually costs to keep toxic people around. This isn’t just a rant (though...

A CEO. A Chief People Officer. A kiss cam. What started as a viral moment at a Coldplay concert revealed something deeper: what happens when the people who set the rules break them. In this episode, we unpack the power dynamics, the public fallout, and why removing a leader doesn’t equal repairing trust. We talk about institutional accountability (or lack thereof), the ripple effects of silence, a...

In this episode, Amanda and Lizzie get real about the emotional and logistical hellscape that is the 2025 job market, and how to actually navigate it without losing your mind or your self...

Feeling like a bad leader? You’re not. You’re just leading in a system that set you up without training, support, or boundaries. In this episode, we unpack why management feels so damn hard, the three traps most leaders fall into (overfunctioning, conflict avoidance, and no boundaries), and what you can actually do to feel more grounded. We break down how people get promoted into leadership with z...

Instead of processing it privately (like we usually do), we took a risk and talked about it live. From chest-tightening doubt to that nagging “Who do you think you are?” voice, we unpack the messy...

Think your job is just a job? Think again. You’re in a relationship with your work, whether you realize it or not. And for some of us, it’s a toxic situationship. In this episode of You Got a Minute , Amanda and Lizzie unpack what it really means to treat your job like a relationship - because that’s exactly what it is.

You know that feeling that creeps in as the weekend winds down - the pit in your stomach, the anxious swirl of to-dos, the quiet dread of Monday?
