Polegorithms is a podcast about success, reinvention, and the chapters in between. Ever wonder how people really level up? The mistakes, the money, and the moments that changed everything? We’re telling those stories. This is a show about more than success. It’s about womanhood, identity, aging, relationships, work, and the quiet, complicated moments that shape a life just as much as the big wins. Welcome to Polegorithms: you’ve reached the algorithm to the hustle.
This week, it’s Holly’s turn in the hot seat. The daughter of two schoolteachers who scraped by, sewed her own clothes and promised herself she’d make it one day. Then life zigzagged. She was married at 18 and a single mom not long after, crashing on her brothers’ couch in Houston, five months into a sales job without a single sale. One 1,400-phone order later, she was cashing commission checks so big the company had to cap them, and she’s done at every company since. From government tech sales to lobbying Sunday beer sales into Georgia law to founding Komplement, now 10 years strong, Holly breaks down her algorithm: hustle like rent is due, pack the boxes when it’s time, put your makeup on even when life knocks you flat, and choose your women wisely. Twenty-two cities, one baby girl in tow, and she never stopped betting on herself. It’s the woman behind the co-host chair, fully unfiltered.

Sara’s Origin Story
This week, it's Sara's turn in the hot seat. Holly and Kirstyn sit down with their co-host to hear how a girl from a three-stoplight town in Eastern Oregon built a life most people only dream about. From cleaning motel rooms at 13, to marking timber in the Oregon woods, to fighting wildfires at 18, Sara's hustle has always run deep. She chased the sun to Maui and spent a season skiing Tahoe before landing in Las Vegas. There she turned a drapery hobby into Shades of Design, the firm she's now run for 20 years. When the economy crashed, she hustled her way into the sky as a private luxury flight attendant (cupcakes may have been involved). That job took her to six continents and onto a plane to Africa with George W. Bush. Sara gets real about betting on herself and why she never stops looking ahead. It's the woman behind the co-host chair, passport stamped and fully unfiltered. Grab your girls and your carry-on.

The Girl They Called Unteachable
This week Holly, Sara and Kirstyn sit down with Yvette Blaess, dyslexia advocate, pageant veteran, and president of Decoding Dyslexia Nevada. Diagnosed with ADHD, ADD and dyslexia in third grade, Yvette didn't talk until she was four, cycled through more than a dozen schools, graduated with a special ed diploma, and was told flat out that she was "uncapable for society." So at 19 she walked into a Barnes & Noble, pulled a first grade reader off the shelf, and spent the next three years teaching herself to read. Fifteen years later she's crossed the world with The Dyslexia Foundation, spent seven years in the Miss United States and Miss World systems, and now throws Givenchy, Burberry and Bottega events that drag neurodiversity into the room with the fashion world. Yvette gets honest about being called unteachable and running all of it as a mom.

Girls Just Wanna Have Funds
Ever wonder how to build real wealth without turning into one of the big-ego suits? Melissa Wilkinson breaks it down: how she went from small-town Ohio to the Forbes list by staying completely herself. From yelling orders as a coxswain on the Ohio State crew team, to the scrappy "Fox family" when Fox Sports was brand new, to smiling and dialing her way into a book of business, her hustle has always run on guts. We get into the leap from broadcasting to finance, trusting the process when the market tanks, generational wealth and the "yellow brick road" to retirement, raising a teenager in Vegas, and the cause that grabbed her heart, fighting child trafficking with the Alliance for Child Protection.

Kirstyn's Origin Story
This week, the mic turns to one of our own. Holly and Sara sit down in Nashville with their co-host, and birthday girl Kirstyn Hairston for the story you've never heard her tell, at least not like this. From sorting rotten tomatoes on a cannery belt at 12, to dancing in Vegas as a midnight ballerina, to selling Budget Blinds out of a purple minivan, to building Sitka in her garage and launching KUIU, Kirstyn's hustle has always run loud. But behind every win was a story no one saw: her husband Jason, a former NFL player, slowly disappearing into CTE. Kirstyn gets fully honest about the diagnosis, 15 years of marriage counseling, the six years she couldn't leave him alone with their kids, losing him at 47, and the girlfriends who literally got in bed with her and stayed. It's funny. It's devastating. It's the woman behind the co-host chair, fully unfiltered. Grab your girls. This one stays with you.

Sin City's Hottest Real Estate Daddy
The girls sit down with Randy Char, President and Corporate Broker of Las Vegas Sotheby's International Realty. A proud dad of three, and the man who once sold suits for a living before deciding he'd rather sell Sin City instead. Randy went from zero real estate experience to selling 96 homes in 9 days, hitting $100M in sales, and ranking #4 in all of Nevada for individual sales volume and he did it all just to prove something to himself! We get into what Las Vegas actually looked like in the 90s vs. now, how he built one of the most impressive empires in luxury real estate, and the mindset behind a true algorithm to the hustle.
