Episode 005: Quincy Moore, The New Yorker
<p dir="ltr">For this episode, I sat down with one of my closest friends: Quincy Moore, the brilliant mind behind <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/newyorkornowhere">New York or Nowhere</a>. We met over twelve years ago in a conference room, and what followed was a friendship built on shared ambition, a lot of downtown New York benches, and an unspoken understanding that we were both trying to build something real.</p> <p dir="ltr">In this conversation, Quincy takes me through the full journey, from growing up in Santa Fe, New Mexico as an only child, to moving to New York in a blizzard in January 2010 with exactly one connection. We also get into the deeply personal side of it all: how sports became his love language with his dad, how meeting his wife Sam transformed him personally and professionally, and what fatherhood has taught him about slowing down. This conversation felt like exactly what this show is about: two friends who've been on this journey together, finally sitting across from each other and taking stock of it all.</p> <p dir="ltr">Tune in for a conversation about the art of protecting something you love, why the best brands can't be built overnight, and what it means to design the life you want for yourself. </p> <p dir="ltr">(0:00) Introduction: Quincy Moore, Founder of New York or Nowhere</p> <p dir="ltr">(0:57) Shopify Ad </p> <p dir="ltr">(1:53) How Diana & Quincy Met: A Decade-Long Friendship Origin Story</p> <p dir="ltr">(7:04) Growing Up as an Only Child & Seeking Family Connection</p> <p dir="ltr">(11:20) Moving to New York City in 2010</p> <p dir="ltr">(13:55) Pre-Social Media New York</p> <p dir="ltr">(20:41) Building Authenticity Through Knicks & Yankees Collaborations</p> <p dir="ltr">(28:23) The LeBron James Moment: Game 6 of the 2016 World Series</p> <p dir="ltr">(32:54) Love, Partnership & the IP Secret Weapon</p> <p dir="ltr">(42:46) Announcing the New York or Nowhere x Sesame Street Collaboration</p> <p dir="ltr">(46:21) How "New York or Nowhere" Was Written — and Why It Stuck</p> <p dir="ltr">(58:33) Rapid Fire: Take Your Time Back Segment</p> <p dir="ltr">(1:00:00) What Fatherhood Teaches You About Slowing Down</p> <p dir="ltr">(1:03:13) Forever New York or Nowhere?

Episode 003: Heidi Gardner, The Entertainer
<p dir="ltr">Today's episode features the brilliantly funny and deeply warm Heidi Gardner. Heidi takes us back to her childhood in Kansas City, Missouri, where mall visits and prank phone calls helped shape her into the performer she is today. We explore the winding road Heidi took from working as a hairstylist for years, to watching her first Groundlings show, to performing on SNL for eight seasons. She shares how she learned to hear "no" without losing herself, and what it means to finally have time to rediscover the quieter parts of life after years of non-stop work on SNL.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Tune in for a conversation about resilience, the power of people who believe in you before you believe in yourself, and the lifelong work of finding your why.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">(0:00) Introducing Heidi Gardner: SNL, Broadway & comedy</p> <p dir="ltr">(3:00) Growing up in Kansas City, Missouri</p> <p dir="ltr">(5:00) Mall culture, pop culture & childhood taste-makers</p> <p dir="ltr">(6:50) Heidi's Broadway debut and closing the show in All Out</p> <p dir="ltr">(12:00) How prank phone calls launched a comedy career</p> <p dir="ltr">(16:30) Her unconventional, creative single parents</p> <p dir="ltr">(21:30) Dropping out of college and moving to LA for beauty school</p> <p dir="ltr">(23:30) Heidi's career as a hairdresser in Los Angeles</p> <p dir="ltr">(27:30) Discovering the Groundlings and finding her calling in comedy</p> <p dir="ltr">(31:00) What it's really like performing live on SNL</p> <p dir="ltr">(35:00) Life after SNL: slowing down, bookstores & decompressing</p> <p dir="ltr">(41:00) Handling rejection and resilience in a creative career</p> <p dir="ltr">(47:30) Hosting theme parties and creating experiences for friends</p> <p dir="ltr">(53:30) Take Your Time Back: three closing questions on time</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Thank you for listening to Take Your Time.
