This is sort of a business podcast, but it’s really about interesting people who have designed their lives to thrive outside of the corporate box we’ve been put into. This one is for the rebels, the creatives, and the reluctant leaders. This is for people who dare to live + think outside, by design. Grab a helmet and buckle your boots because we get deep.
The host: My name is Lisa Slagle, and I’m a creative director, writer, and human woman dedicated to having as much fun as possible while creating meaningful, impactful work along the way. I love talking to people, asking big, existential questions, and exploring the intersection of storytelling and culture. For the last 14 years, I’ve owned a creative agency called WHEELIE, which I started from a clapped-out laptop and some soggy business cards that I used to hand out on chairlifts. It grew into a thriving company full of awesome humans, and I’ve gotten to meet and work with thousands of amazing creatives, marketing teams, VPs, CEOs, athletes, and entrepreneurs. I think the human experience is extraordinary, and this podcast features people who know how to design fun, interesting, creative lives on their own terms.www.wheeliecreative.com/podcast

Former CIA Officer + DeliverFund Founder Nic McKinley on Defining Your Own Success
"When you look at a problem like human trafficking and you know you have the ability to help solve that problem, how can you not do that?"
We're joined in our first episode of 2023 by Nic McKinley - former Air Force Pararescueman and CIA officer, founder + chairman of DeliverFund, all-around badass. Trust us, he's been called the "real-life Jack Ryan."
Nic discusses how he ended up on the path of entrepreneurship starting DeliverFund, a counter human trafficking organization using data and technology to fight slavery around the globe. He also details how he defines success at this point in his career, the radical creative thinking his team uses to fight trafficking, and his stance on TikTok and internet regulation.
