On the outside, Jessica Zweig had it all. She’d built an award-winning personal branding agency that worked with such companies as Google and Pinterest. She was the beautiful girl with the yellow branding on her popular social media feeds.

And yet inside, she was falling apart.

After a transformative experience in Egypt, she was able to rebuild her life, redefining what success and failure mean to her. Now she helps other women avoid falling apart in their quest to subscribe to the patriarchy and other man-made constructs.

She documents her entire journey and provides tips for others who want to follow in her stead to use in her new book, The Light Work: Reclaim Your Feminine Power, Live Your Cosmic Truth, and Illuminate the World.

In this episode, we talk about all of this and more—including how to use your calendar settings to get in the right frequency, why women should reconsider traveling during that time of the month and how chasing success is overvalued.

Jonathan Small has been chronicling the failures and successes of people for most of his career. From doing his first interview (with George Carlin) to his sharing dating tips as “Jake” for Glamour magazine to his stint as an editor at Entrepreneur magazine to his experience interviewing hundreds of writers on his Write About Now podcast, Small has been a fly-on-the-wall for many failure-to-success stories.

Now he’s released a book made up of the origin stories of some of the writers he’s interviewed, which I’m proud to say Legacy Launch Pad has published. With insights from as wide a variety of people as Killers of the Flower Moon author David Grann to 90s fashion queen Betsey Johnson, Write About Now reveals the failures and successes of a succession of greats.

In this interview we talked about the main qualities successful people have in common, our shared experience starting our careers working at parenting magazines and why many companies would be far better off sharing the struggles of the founder, among many other topics.

Diana Cannon has been through more than your average bear (or human).

After growing up in a dysfunctional Mormon home, she raised three kids as a single mom, uncovered deep family secrets and wrote about it all in the Legacy Launch Pad published memoir, Loose Cannons (which got her featured in the Daily Mail, Today and the LA Times Book Fair, among other places).

Post publication, just when it looked like the drama was done, the sh*t hit the fan again. In this episode, Cannon talks about falling apart, coming together and how bouncing back from failure requires a belief in something that truly matters to you.
