It is about perseverance, authenticity, community, creativity, and becoming the person you once imagined you could be.Subscribe to First Rounds On Me for more honest conversations about dating, relationships, culture, personal growth, entrepreneurship, and human connection.00:00 – Introduction01:33 – Miabelle’s Radio Journey06:11 – Authenticity Behind the Microphone08:41 – From Rejection to HOT 9715:38 – Moving into Morning Radio17:00 – How Music and Culture Changed22:22 – Interviewing Celebrities28:44 – Making an Impact on Listeners31:10 – Advice to Her Younger Self32:24 – Life Beyond the Career35:23 – Closing Affirmation

Kyle Fraser on Survivor, Accountability & Building Paprclip

Survivor winner Kyle Fraser returns to First Round’s On Me to introduce Paprclip, a social accountability app designed to help people accomplish goals, build better habits and strengthen their relationships together.Kyle explains how an unexpected moment involving a cartoon and a paperclip inspired the original idea—and how his secret Survivor alliance with Kamilla Karthigesu eventually evolved into a real-world business partnership.We explore why traditional habit trackers often fail, how accountability changes motivation and why completing goals alongside another person can be far more powerful than trying to do everything alone.Kyle also breaks down Paprclip’s shared goals, habits, daily challenges, group functionality and private photo and video check-ins. He shares how the platform could help friends, couples, families, new parents and members of the ADHD and neurodivergent communities stay connected while becoming better versions of themselves.The conversation also covers entrepreneurship, choosing the right co-founder, maintaining adult friendships, protecting your imagination and learning to stop measuring your worth by how much other people like you.Paprclip’s Kickstarter launches July 14.
