Happy Is the Wrong Goal | Sara Haines, Co-Host of The View
<p>Sara Haines has one of the most recognizable voices in American television, and she built it by refusing to pretend she had it all figured out.</p><p>In this conversation with Jason Hensley, Sara opens up about growing up as the third of four kids in Newton, Iowa, feeling invisible in her own family home videos, and spending her early years chasing the feeling she got on a volleyball court or a show choir stage, without quite knowing what to do with it.</p><p>She talks about moving to New York with no headshots, no connections, and no idea how to ride the subway, landing in NBC's page program, and eventually being told by someone she trusted that they didn't see her as a host. And why that was the moment she knew she had to leave.</p><p>She goes deep on postpartum, not the version you hear about, but the real one, where you want to pack up your Chihuahua and disappear. On motherhood and the love that didn't arrive on cue.</p><p>On being a proud independent in a world that keeps demanding you pick a side. And on why "happy" might be the most dangerous goal we've ever set for ourselves.</p><p>This one will stay with you.</p><p>🎙️ Find Happiness Sold Separately on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms.📺 Watch full episodes on YouTube — search McCosh Films.📸 Instagram: @mccoshfilms🌐 mccoshfilms.com</p><p>Want to bring that kind of clarity and human connection to your organization?

You Can't Outrun Yourself | Scott Lackey on What Most Men Refuse to Face
<p>Scott Lackey has been fired from his own company twice. The first time cost him $3 million. The second time cost him $20 million and the company he built from nothing. He's a U.S. Army veteran. An Ironman. A pastor. A husband. A father. And now, an author of a book that does not flinch.In this conversation, Scott and Jason go where most men refuse to go.</p><p>They talk about the "make it happen" mentality that built Scott's life and then almost destroyed it. They talk about the day Scott drove home to his pregnant wife and toddler son with nothing left, and smiled anyway. They talk about the difference between power and control, and why confusing the two ruins men in business and in marriage. And Scott offers the most honest pushback on modern men's self-help you'll hear all year.</p><p>He doesn't say "there's nothing wrong with you." He says the opposite. "There IS something broken. And you need to break it the rest of the way so it can heal." This is a conversation about vulnerability as strength. About rage as fuel that eventually breaks the engine. About the photo Scott keeps over his shoulder of his two-year-old son grabbing his face on the worst day of his life. And about why his family loves vulnerable dad more than strong dad.</p><p>If you've ever hit the wall and asked yourself "how did I get here," this episode was made for you.Get Scott's book and connect with him at scottlackey.com.Follow Happiness Sold Separately on YouTube and Instagram @mccoshfilms.
