Start Messy, Start Imperfect: Why Waiting to Be Ready Keeps Us Stuck
Libby Shively McAvoy has rebuilt her life more than once, and now she helps other people do the same. She's a certified relationship and trauma recovery coach who specializes in emotional intelligence, a yoga teacher, an editor at Dancing Elephants Press on Medium, and the author of three books, including Just Start Theory.
In this episode, Andrew and Libby talk about closing a yoga studio and starting over, the real difference between coaching and therapy, writing as a way to find the people who need you, and how a yoga practice changes as you do.
Then they play the Whole Mind Game on authenticity and ambition, the two words this show is named for, and land on being ourselves, rising with curiosity, and making the greatest impact we can.

The Complete Day: How to Stay Focused Without Sacrificing Your Life
Ty Hagler has spent his career protecting fragile ideas long enough for them to matter. He's an industrial designer, the founder of Trig, a Chapel Hill design and innovation firm built on a 100-year vision, and the COO of Couplet Care, whose hospital bassinet lets new moms reach their babies without a second person in the room.
Before any of that, he was a world-ranked flatwater kayaker who went from moving print ads down a wall at Home Depot to building its first innovation department.
In this episode, Andrew and Ty trace that path: a fertilizer spreader idea that got shut down and showed up at a competitor years later, starting a design firm in the 2008 downturn, and why Couplet Care chose grant funding and mission-aligned investors over the venture capital math. Along the way: loop A and loop B thinking with AI, building a second brain, and why early adopters deserve hero status.
Then they play the Whole Mind Game on Focus & Openness and land somewhere neither of them expected: the complete day, the Lonely Inventor, and life as a dance instead of a line.

The Ambiguity Is Truth
Abby Paradis has been seeing something her whole life that she's never had the words for. Not a metaphor, an actual visual field, moving, wobbling, telling her when something is off before she can explain why. She thought everyone had it until she found out they didn't. Then a concussion took something else from her entirely, the ability to explain any of it at all.
