  • Vision Without Execution Is Useless (Pat Lencioni Explains)
    Apr 2 2026
    Everyone tends to fall into one of two patterns: thinking or doing. In this conversation, Pat Lencioni explores the tension between visionaries and doers and why some people generate ideas but struggle to act, while others execute but lack direction. More importantly, he breaks down why real progress requires both. This isn’t just about business, but it’s about how we all approach work, goals, and life. Why do we get stuck even when we know what to do? And what actually helps us move forward? We hope you enjoy this one with Pat Lencioni and make sure to check out his books! https://www.tablegroup.com/books/?srsltid=AfmBOoq_hAIT4OVa4oGBoXJHizwaLBpo1AsOUUpZoqb64_xYdXSSvKRT Learn more about your ad choices.

  • 305 | Couples Therapy On Camera (With Dr. John Delony)
    Apr 1 2026
    In our most recent series, we opened up about some of the hardest topics we've discussed: “I’m not here to make you happy.” “I will let you down.” “You don’t need me.” We couldn’t see eye to eye on what they really meant.. So for this episode, we did something different. We brought in Dr. John Delony and let him break it all down (Oh boy hahaha). What started as a conversation quickly turned into real, on-the-spot couples counseling… with all of you watching. 😂 Buy 4 cartons and get the 5th free when you go to https://davidprotein.com/EASTFAM.

  • 304 | things no one warned us about marriage & parenting
    Mar 25 2026
    Marriage and parenting are often painted as beautiful, fulfilling journeys (and they are!). But there are also parts no one really talks about until you’re in the middle of them. In this episode, we’re getting real about the unexpected challenges that catch couples and parents off guard. From shifting identities and communication struggles to the mental load, loneliness, and loss of spontaneity, we’re unpacking the truths people don’t always share before saying “I do” or bringing home a baby. Whether you’re preparing for marriage, navigating early parenthood, or deep in the trenches, this honest conversation will help you feel seen, understood, and a little more prepared for what’s ahead.
