Summary

This week, it’s just you and me! I’m unpacking the power of the pivot: in career, in character, and in connection. From owning a major misstep by having a Trump supporter on the show, to confronting the ways I’ve been unlearning old behaviors and outdated beliefs, this episode is about growth in real time. And yes… I’m also spilling a little tea on how to get that old thing back — but this time, with clarity and intention. If you’ve ever had to start over, say “I got it wrong,” or rethink what you really want… this one’s for you.

0:15.7	Kail and Nicole here, and welcome back to another episode of the pregame.
0:20.1	Today is going to be a solo episode, y'all.
0:24.1	I think, honestly, the theme of this episode could just be like the power of the pivot.
0:28.7	We're having to pivot today. I had a guest planned. Unfortunately, she had a family emergency.

0:48.7	Always a very special show prepared for you for our first quarter, ketchup and yap.
0:50.0	Well, first things first.
0:52.0	Of course, I have a beverage.
0:53.2	I'm not going to lie, you guys.
1:44.1	This is not my favorite beverage, probably because it came out of a glass bottle with a twist cap. Yeah. It's some sort of sparkling, sweet red wine. It tastes like a Kool-Aid jammer with bubbles. Did you guys drink Kool-Aid jammers? Am I showing my age? Kool-Aid used to make juice packs. And that's what this tastes like. Not my favorite, but we're drinking it, okay? We've got a little libations going. But yeah, let's catch up a bit. I think that I've been kind of like MIA on socials these days, which I don't know if it's rare anymore from me. I go through these lulls where I just don't want to talk anymore. Might have to do with this podcast. I don't know. Having to talk at length makes you want to shut up a little bit throughout the week. But my friend posted the other day, she has a podcast as well. She was like, if you want to see me yap, go turn on the pod, which I couldn't agree more.
1:49.4	So happy to yap with you guys today. Quick life update because I see a lot of comments and DMs and questions from the girl he's asking, what happened to IAM athlete? If you guys didn't know,

2:03.0	super exciting and fun for me because I was back in the hosting chair doing what I love on a
2:08.7	weekly basis. I was getting to do some storytelling and we were interviewing athletes and
