#10 How letting go can spark joy to your life and career with Rebecca Jo-Rushdy (KonMari Master and End-of-life Doula)

Saison 1 · Épisode 10

jeudi 10 septembre 2026 • Durée 39:18

Rebecca’s background is incredibly interesting and ever evolving - she’s now a Master KonMari® Consultant and End-of-Life Doula whose spark is to help people align their homes, hearts & purpose.

She’s the founder of Spark Joy & Flow, she’s a mom of 2, and with her husband they moved from Hong Kong, Malaysia and now Scotland, which means that they’ve evolved their life and career several times. So in the episode we talk about her “is it crazy?” moments, about starting from zero, the power of decluttering, letting go and so much more.

What you'll hear

What do you do when the life that looks perfect from the outside stops sparking joy?
Why would anyone leave a life they love, on purpose, and start over from zero?
What does tidying your sock drawer have to do with quitting your job or leaving a marriage?
And what is TQ, the quotient Rebecca says matters more than IQ or EQ?

#9 From Model to global Coach: The questions that can change your life with Lucia Giovannini

Saison 1 · Épisode 9

jeudi 27 août 2026 • Durée 50:07

Lucia Giovannini is a globally recognized motivational speaker, a transformational coach, and the bestselling author of 13 books that have helped thousands of people around the world find the strength to face change and be happier.

What most people don't know is that none of this was the plan. Lucia first became an international model who owned an agency, a school and a fashion-show company, with the house, the marriage and the money to match. And inside, in her own words, she felt dead. She calls it functional depression: fully functioning on the outside, empty on the inside. From there she built a whole new life, and has guided thousands of people to the same ever since.

What you'll hear:

What question do you ask yourself before a big change, and what happens the day you flip it?
What is the real cost of staying exactly where you are?
How do you rebuild a whole life when everyone around you thinks something is wrong with you?
What does it take to come back to yourself when you have forgotten where you were running to?
Can you really change direction at any age, at any point?

In her books and in her courses, together with her husband Nicola Riva, she shares more about her experience and practices that she has studied and mastered along the way.
I also invite you to watch POLE POLE, the documentary about her life. Pole Pole means "slowly, slowly" in Swahili, and it’s an invite to slow down, reconnect with nature, and find inner balance in a fast-paced modern world.

#8 From Train Crew to Osaka's Go-To Hub for International Entrepreneurs / with Chikako Tsuda

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

jeudi 30 juillet 2026 • Durée 47:48

Chikako Tsuda is the Total Coordinator of FutrWorks, Osaka's Coworking space for global startups and digital nomads.

She's been at the same Japanese company for over 20 years. But her career looks like nothing I've ever seen in a traditional Japanese career path, because she kept saying yes to the unexpected thing.

This episode of “Is it Crazy?” is about carving your space to be yourself, in life and in careers.

Chikako never planned to run an international community. She never planned to learn English in her 40s or perform Tahitian dance in a coconut bra. But she kept moving, she kept finding the next thing.

What you'll hear

Why she wore red eyeliner to a uniform job, and what her senior said when he saw her
How she figured out when to push and when to wait, inside a corporate culture that doesn't often say yes out loud
Why she started dancing in her late 30s
What she told her three daughters about careers, conformity, and being yourself

#7 From a Bank Job to top Global Event Strategist with Laura Viilep

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

jeudi 16 juillet 2026 • Durée 45:21

Laura Viilep is a Globally recognized Event Strategist, the woman behind Mindvalley's iconic events like A-Fest. She left her Director role at the top in order to start her own Boutique Event Agency, but this wasn't her only "crazy move".

She's one of the 100 Most Influential People in the Events Industry, and still, this isn't a "look how perfectly it all worked out" story. It's the real journey: the doubt, the highs and lows, the empty calendar, and how she learned to trust a decision that felt terrifying.

This is for anyone who has a good career and a feeling they can't shake that something bigger is waiting, but can't picture if or how their own crazy idea would actually work.

What you'll hear:

How do you leave a job that checks every box, the salary, the team, the title?
Why is making the decision the hardest part, and what actually happens after?
How do you keep going and start something new when your battery is low?
The lesson after she lost a promised client.
What is the value of trusting your intuition?

#6 Manifesting the house, the lifestyle and community of your vision, with Natalie Coulson

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

jeudi 2 juillet 2026 • Durée 32:04

This one is special because it was recorded in Natalie’s house - from the vision board to reality!

She's the founder of the Kicking Goals Marketing & Communications and of the Lady Kicking Goals community. She’s living the life that was on her vision but the story is not about “look at me things are perfect”!. This conversation is about the journey from idea, doubts, highs and lows, and how to reinvent yourself and rise like a phoenix.

This is for anyone who has an image, and idea but can't picture IF and HOW their own crazy idea would actually work.

For over fifteen years Natalie built her career on the business side of magazine publishing, first in Australia and then across Canada, before moving into communications work with small businesses and the public sector. She'd always been drawn to helping women in business, even when it wasn't officially her job. Then came a rental in Sydney she knew she'd eventually lose, a partner who said "what about Phuket?" and a decision to buy a house off the floor plan in a country she barely knew.

What you'll hear

How to trust yourself when life makes you feel unhappy?
Why regularly updating her vision changed her life?
How to act on a vague image/vision?
How to navigate the highs and the lows during moments of change?
What made her say yes to the crazy idea, after 1 year of doubting?
The realisation that "Whatever you think is holding you back is not. It's you."
If what you need doesn’t exist, why don’t you create it?

She’s an endless source of inspiration and connection, connect with Natalie via LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/nataliejcoulson/ or follow her community on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ladies_kicking_goals/

#5 How to Become Ready for the Next Big Role (Even When You Don't Feel It) with Silvia D’Anna

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

jeudi 25 juin 2026 • Durée 44:00

"Whatever you do for yourself is never crazy enough." That's what Silvia said in our conversation, and knowing her, she really embodies that motto. She has a very inspiring career spanning BCG, Nike, and now she's VP Sports, Kids and Underwear at Best Secret, the role she says that “ticks all the boxes of what I was looking for”. How did she build a career like this?

What people might not know behind the scenes (and what you'll hear in the conversation) is that she didn't get this far by accident, she's very intentional with her choices and stays open to grow.

For example she decided to go back to university 2 years ago. That's right, mid-career and as a Director.

What you'll hear:

How do you become ready for a bigger role when part of you still doesn't feel ready?
What do you do when your career looks right on paper but something quietly doesn't add up?
Is it crazy to add a full-time degree on top of a full-time leadership job, for no one but yourself?
How to recognize your inner knowing and intuition?
What if success was never the job title, but the person you become getting there?

Some of my favorite lines in the conversation:

"It's your responsibility to go get them" (the opportunities to grow)
"You have full power to make your own journey and create your own destiny"

#4 From Hyper-Growth Startups to Fractional Leader, with Hugo Pereira

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

jeudi 18 juin 2026 • Durée 50:37

I met Hugo when he became President of AIESEC International. To me he was this distant, inspiring figure at first, the person everyone in the room was watching. Years later we both ended up in Amsterdam and he became a friend whose career choices I kept learning from.

Hugo calls himself a growth catalyst.
Today he wears 3 hats: a fractional growth and marketing leader for deep-tech and scale-ups, a builder, and a father who decided presence was non-negotiable.
He scaled EVBox from 10 to 700 people and past 100 million in revenue. He failed at two startups before that. And last year, in the same 12 months he had his second daughter, he exited his own startup and wrote a book. Talking about crazy!

What you'll hear:

Who are you without the job title?
What do you do when the role everyone respects is already starting to feel like the wrong fit?
Is it crazy to do the work nobody's paying you for, because you believe it actually matters?
How do you balance ambition with presence after you become a parent?
What if you didn't have to leave your job to start the thing on the side?

Check his book if want to learn from his experience leading teams and culture at hyper-growth >> Teams in Hell: How to End Bad Management.

#3 Finding Your True Power - From Unemployable to Owning 16 Companies, with Bunny Young

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

jeudi 11 juin 2026 • Durée 52:11

Meet Bunny Young, not just my coach. She’s a mom, a serial entrepreneur and a source of inspiration. At 14 she was diagnosed with a heart condition and told to choose a quiet life. She didn’t, and chose to test the limitations instead.

Since then it feels like she has lived multiple lives: stuntwoman, therapist, she built 16 companies while raising 4 kids. But the real story isn't the companies or the resume nobody would understand. It's the lessons, like that in every situation you have a choice.

What you’ll hear:

what happens when you stop orienting your life around the diagnosis, the limitations
the questions most of us avoid: What is my choice? Will I argue for my limitations or for my dreams?
how she took her power back
why building trust in yourself is one of the most valuable assets in your life.

Alessio Pieroni is the Founder and CEO of Scale for Impact, a marketing agency for online course creators. But he wasn’t born an entrepreneur.

This episode is about the shape of an unconventional path with at least 3 major “Is It Crazy?” moments.

Is it too late to change?
