This week, I’m sitting down with Joel Furno, the founder of Citrin—a valet company that started with $200 and a dream—and now employs over 700 people across the country. But this episode isn’t just about business growth. It’s about personal growth.
Joel gets real about the shadows behind success—depression, marriage struggles, and what happens when achievement isn’t enough—and how a single psychedelic journey...
Everyone’s out here glued to their follower count like it’s the stock market. But let me hit you with some truth: likes don’t pay the bills. Revenue does.
In this Ask Amy x The Keri Croft Show mashup, Amy Nelson and I go all in on the difference between chasing vanity metrics and actually building a business that works. We dig into:
✨ The wild ROI of email marketing (and why it’s still the most under...
Let’s just call it like it is—Troy Allen has a reputation. Some people call him a visionary. Others? An a**hole.
On this week’s episode, I sit down with the man behind Pins, 16-Bit, and some of the biggest nightlife and entertainment concepts in Columbus and beyond. Troy’s been building incredible brands people actually feel for decades—and he’s not afraid to ruffle feathers along the way.
We talk about the highs, the h...
What happens when you stop reasoning with yourself, stop waiting for permission, and just decide?
You get Cory Gregory.
This week we packed up the mics and headed out to Buckeye Lake to sit down with Cory on his turf—Muscle Island. And let me tell you…this place isn’t just a slice of paradise. It’s a masterclass in vision, grit, and relentless execution.
We’re talking about:
⚡ The decisi...
This week, Amy Nelson is back in the studio with me—and we’re talking about something I honestly wish we didn’t have to: the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Not from a political lens, but from a human one. From the lens of being parents trying to raise kids in a world where violence is live-streamed, group chats move faster than the news cycle, and childhood innocence feels harder and harder to protect.
We talk about:
Some dreams take everything you’ve got. And then they ask for more.
Today, I sat down with Krista Guagenti, founder of Panacea Luxury Spa Boutique, whose story proves what it really means to keep moving—even when the setbacks pile up and the odds feel impossible.
Krista didn’t grow up with a roadmap to entrepreneurship. She was the first in her family to graduate college, worked 90-hour weeks in corporate America, got t...
Before you can build a business, you’ve got to build belief.
This week I’m pulling back the curtain on a very special B Lab client of mine—Megan Goodman. Megan came in with a head full of ideas, a ton of passion, and (like so many of us) a little voice in her head that kept saying who am I to do this?
In this episode, we talk about what it really looks like to start from scratch—without a clear roadm...
Amy Nelson is back! Every time we sit down, I walk away fired up and inspired to do more, be more, and lead with more clarity. This time we dove into women in leadership and how damn hard it can be to walk the line between being “too soft” or “too much.”
We get into:
⚡ Leading with authenticity
⚡ Why being “bossy” is actually a compliment
⚡ Why asking for forgiveness beats waiting for permission
What do you do when someone tells you you’ve only got seven months to live?
If you’re Jason Tharp, you decide to do the exact opposite of giving up. You strip away the masks, you stop apologizing for who you are, and you start spreading joy in the most unexpected ways.
Jason is an author, artist, and cancer survivor who’s beating the odds every single day. In our chat, he shares how a Stage 4 brain c...
You can’t plan for the moments that change you, but you can decide what to do with them. That’s what I loved about my conversation with Sarah Gormley.
Sarah is a Columbus local and the owner of Sarah Gormley Gallery in the Short North—and she’s lived one hell of a story. We got into everything: standing on the porch screaming “F***” with her daughter in response to her mom's cancer diagnosis, dating as a...
Michael Flinner spent 17 years building a successful logistics company—only to walk away and start from scratch with something completely different: The Fluff, a premium pickup-and-delivery laundry service in Central Ohio.
We get into the unsexy realities of building something sustainable, why convenience is the new currency, and the importance of staying “in the mud” when you’re laying the foundation of a bu...
I’ve been following Ali Prato for a long time—so having her on the show was a full circle moment.
Ali is the host of Infertile AF and co-founder of Fertility Rally, and she’s been one of the loudest, realest, and most compassionate voices in the infertility space since 2019. In this episode, she shares her own journey with secondary infertility, miscarriage, and IVF—and how she turned it all into a platform that’s help...
You know it’s gonna be a good one when Amy Nelson is in the building—and this month’s Ask Amy is no exception.
We dive into the chaos of summer mom life, building a business with limited time, how to actually create content that works and doesn’t suck up your soul, and why you don’t need to be an AI expert—you just need to know how to ask a good question.
We also end up breaking down Jeff Bezos’ $50 million wedding, the...
Let’s talk about ketamine—and not the kind of convo you’d have at a college party.
In this week’s episode, I sit down with Dr. David Caldwell and Dr. Melissa Briggs-Phillips of Mindset Integrative Ketamine Care for one of the most powerful, personal, and mind-expanding conversations we’ve ever had on this show.
Together, they’re pioneering a new approach to healing trauma through ketamine infusion therapy (aka KIT)—back...
What do you get when you mix a rebellious heart, a deep-rooted love for real food, and a personality bigger than life itself? You get Benji—and if you don’t know him yet, buckle up.
In this episode, I sit down with the founder of Yellowbird Food Shed, a man on a mission to radically rethink the way we eat. From slinging chickens out of his garage to building a full-blown grocery revolution, Benji’s story is wild, inspi...
If Instagram disappeared tomorrow… would your business?
This week, I’m pulling back the curtain on something I’ve been building behind the scenes for over a year—the B-Lab. She’s finally here, and in true business-birthing fashion, she was a big baby.
We’re talking:
- The messy magic of moving from ideation to execution
- Why social media isn’t a business model (and what to do instead)
- How to create influence with actual ...

In this episode, we get into:

Okay, so this might be the most ridiculous board meeting you’ve ever listened to—but it’s also the most fun I’ve had planning something in a long time.
In this episode, I’m sitting down with Anthony and Kim—my co-conspirators for the Lemonade Stand Fundraiser taking over Columbus on Sunday, August 10th. The idea? A kid-run, adult-supported lemonade stands all across the city… raising money for a cause that actually mat...
Can You Really Build a Career Around Boy Bands? (Spoiler: Yes.)
This week, I’m sitting down with Boyband Stacy—the ultimate fangirl turned full-blown entrepreneur. She went from dubbing VHS tapes of TRL in high school to managing an actual boy band.
We get into:
🎤 The side hustle that started it all
🎤 Meeting her idols—and how she kept it cool
🎤 What it’s like working behind the scenes...
If you caught last week’s solocast, you already know—we’re in the season of building. And this week, we’re taking things one step further.
Think of this episode as Part Two: a deeper dive into the mindset work behind the business and brand consulting offer I’ve quietly been building behind the scenes. It’s not quite ready for a full reveal—but I wanted to bring you along for the journey.
We’re talking about the two most...
