Your Million Dollar Look with Erin Mathis
What if getting dressed every day could be more than choosing what to wear? This week on The Dana Grant Show, I’m joined by Erin Mathis, Style Coach, Image Strategist, speaker, TEDx speaker, and co-founder of The Style Core. Erin believes your image isn’t just about fashion, it’s a powerful form of communication. The way you present yourself can influence how you feel, how you’re perceived, and ultimately how you show up in the world. In this conversation, we explore what Erin calls your “Million Dollar Look” and why your outer image should evolve as your identity evolves. Whether you're building a business, stepping into leadership, dating again, becoming more visible, or simply entering a new chapter of your life, your style can become a tool for expressing the woman you're becoming. We’ll talk about confidence, identity, visibility, authenticity, and why sometimes the first step toward becoming someone new is simply changing the way you see and present yourself. If you’ve ever looked into your closet and thought, “None of this feels like me anymore,” this episode is for you.

Strategy Beats Talent with Tayo Lusi
What if the reason you're stuck isn't a lack of talent but a lack of strategy? This week on The Dana Grant Show, I’m joined by Adetayo “Tayo Lusi” Ibijemilusi, founder of 1% University and Apex Infrastructure, who went from a $55K help desk job to earning $489K a year in just eight months. Tayo’s story is anything but conventional. After failing out of nursing school and hitting a point where he was delivering Uber Eats at 2 a.m. for about $10 an hour, he found a mentor, made a strategic shift into IT, and completely changed the trajectory of his life. But his message isn't simply about making more money. It's about understanding that you don't necessarily need to become better, you may need a better strategy. In this conversation, Tayo breaks down why chasing certifications can keep talented engineers stuck, what separates someone earning $135K from someone fielding $300K+ opportunities, and why proximity to people who already have the results you want can dramatically accelerate your own growth. If you're successful but know you've outgrown where you are, this episode will challenge you to stop trying to figure everything out alone and start finding the people who already know the way.

100th Episode: The Story of Dana Grant
Happy International Podcast Day! Two years of The Dana Grant Show. Ten years in business. And a lifetime of becoming the woman I was always meant to be. This week’s episode is deeply personal. I sat down with one of my favorite podcast producers, Matt, and we had a casual conversation about everything Dana Grant. I’m taking you behind the scenes of my journey. Not just the wins, the businesses, the stages, the bestselling book, or the podcast, but the moments that nearly broke me and the choices that changed everything. From being seven years old and feeling ungrounded after my parents’ divorce, to becoming a young single mother, battling debilitating migraines, navigating addiction and recovery, caring for family, building a multi-million-dollar company, and eventually discovering that the greatest transformation wasn't about building a better life, it was about becoming a different version of myself. At 49, I co-founded Cali'Flour Foods and helped build it into the largest ready-made cauliflower pizza crust company. I went from corporate sales records to entrepreneurship. From nearly losing my legs to recovery. From feeling disconnected from myself to finding my purpose. And now, nearly a decade after stepping into entrepreneurship and two years after launching The Dana Grant Show, I’m watching a dream I once couldn't see become my reality. And there’s another milestone: seeing my face on the NASDAQ billboard in Times Square. But the billboard isn't the story. The woman who had to become the woman standing on that billboard is the story.

The Spiritual Side of Wealth with Elizabeth Ralph
What if true wealth isn't just about how much money you have but who you become in relationship to it? This week on The Dana Grant Show, I’m joined by Elizabeth Ralph, former energy trader, spiritual teacher, high-level wealth strategist, and host of The Spiritual Investor Podcast. Elizabeth retired at just 39 and has since dedicated her work to helping people create wealth from a place of alignment rather than fear, scarcity, or survival. Her unique approach brings together financial strategy, money psychology, spiritual law, and energetic alignment to create what she calls financial sovereignty. In this conversation, Elizabeth and I explore the relationship between money and energy, why traditional approaches to wealth can leave people feeling trapped, and what it means to build wealth that supports freedom, choice, joy, and legacy. We’ll talk about investing, intuition, cycles, abundance, and the possibility of creating wealth without making money the thing that determines your worth or your freedom. If you're ready to change not only how you manage money, but how you relate to it, this conversation is for you.

Rebuilding Yourself with Teresa "DOLL" Anne
We often hear about surviving life's hardest seasons but what about the woman who emerges on the other side? In this powerful return to The Dana Grant Show, Teresa "DOLL" Anne joins me for a deeper conversation about what happens after the heartbreak. This isn't about the ending of her marriage, it's about the rebirth that followed. How do you trust yourself again after betrayal? How do you stop living from fear? How do you rebuild your identity when everything you thought defined you is gone? Together, we explore what it means to become emotionally free, release old versions of ourselves, establish healthy boundaries, and embrace the woman we were always meant to become. This episode is for every woman who's done the hard work of healing and is now asking, "Who am I becoming now?" Because sometimes the fire doesn't destroy us... It introduces us to ourselves.

The Power of the Walk with Libby DeLana
What if something as simple as taking a walk could completely change the way you experience your life? This week on The Dana Grant Show, I'm joined by Libby DeLana, creative director, author, artist, walker, and co-founder of Mechanica whose work sits at the intersection of creativity, communication, movement, and living with intention. For years, Libby has started her mornings with a walk and what began as a personal practice became This Morning Walk, a podcast, book, and philosophy centered around the power of walking to create space for reflection, creativity, and connection. With an award-winning career in advertising and creative direction, including work recognized by Cannes Lions, D&AD, Communication Arts, and The One Show, Libby has also become a powerful voice around aging, identity, and what it means to keep evolving. Her experience modeling at 60 challenges the cultural assumptions we carry about what women are "supposed" to look like and do as they age. In this conversation, we explore the transformative power of walking, creativity as a way of living, aging without apology, and why sometimes the most profound answers come when we simply slow down enough to hear ourselves. If you're ready to move your body, clear your mind, and rethink what this next chapter can look like, this episode is for you.

One Part Lion, One Part Lamb with Stephen Scoggins
What if the very drive that helped you build your success is the thing quietly destroying your peace? This week on The Dana Grant Show, I’m joined by Stephen Scoggins, faith-driven entrepreneur, speaker, author, and founder who went from homelessness at nineteen to building and exiting a company that generated upwards of nine figures in annual revenue. Stephen's story is one of grit, resilience, and extraordinary achievement. Armed with little more than a truck, a set of tools, and relentless determination, he built a thriving business from construction-site cleanup into an industry powerhouse. But while the company grew, something inside him began to disappear. The turning point came not in a boardroom, but through a simple truth spoken by his son: "If you would just be more present when you are present, that's what matters to us." That moment forced Stephen to confront a reality many leaders never acknowledge: that success built on a fractured foundation is never sustainable. Today, Stephen teaches leaders how to integrate what he calls One Part Lion and One Part Lamb, combining courage, conviction, and bold leadership with humility, surrender, and faith. In this conversation, we explore the hidden cost of achievement, the power of presence, and how to build a life that succeeds both publicly and privately. If you're tired of choosing between success and fulfillment, this episode is for you.

The Rhythm of Resilience with Dr. Jacque Colbert
What does it really mean to show up powerfully not just for everyone else, but for yourself? This week on The Dana Grant Show, I’m joined by Dr. Jacque Colbert, U.S. Army veteran, corporate leadership executive, breast cancer survivor, author, and founder of Sipping PositiviTEA™. Dr. Colbert has led people inside some of the most powerful companies in the world, including Google, but her most meaningful leadership lessons were forged through deeply personal experiences. Her book, Corporate Sisterhood, now celebrating its 10th Anniversary Edition, became the foundation for a larger movement centered on helping women recognize their power, support one another, and create lives where they can truly show up. That mission expanded into Sipping PositiviTEA™, a nonprofit supporting women, men, and families navigating breast cancer and helping keep families in their homes while they are in treatment. In this conversation, we explore the Thriver’s Rhythm: the Groove, the Break, and the Sacred Pause and what it means to stop glorifying the grind and start creating space for restoration, purpose, and joy. If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly doing, giving, and performing without taking time to refill yourself, this episode is for you.

The Inner Game of High Performance with Coach Dar
If you've ever wondered why some people continue to grow, lead, and thrive under pressure while others stay stuck in the same cycles, today's conversation is for you. This isn't about motivation and it's not about hustle. It's definitely not about pretending life is easy. It's about the inner game. The thoughts and habits no one hears. The identity that quietly shapes every decision we make. Today's guest is someone who has coached professional athletes, CEOs, executives, entrepreneurs, and leaders at the highest levels. She understands that peak performance isn't built on talent alone, it's built on mindset, emotional resilience, discipline, and the willingness to do the inner work. Coach Dar, welcome back.

Built to Love with Stefanos Sifandos
Why do so many successful people thrive in business but struggle in love? This week on The Dana Grant Show, I'm joined by Stefanos Sifandos, internationally respected relationship educator, behavioral science expert, and teacher of trauma-informed human connection. Drawing from behavioral science, somatics, trauma healing, and both Eastern and Western philosophies, Stefanos helps people understand one of the most overlooked influences in relationships: the nervous system. His work goes far beyond communication techniques, revealing why we unconsciously choose certain partners, repeat familiar relationship patterns, and mistake emotional intensity for genuine intimacy. Having worked with CEOs, elite athletes, special operations soldiers, world champions, and thousands of individuals around the world, Stefanos helps people break free from psychological and relational burdens so they can experience authentic love, deep connection, and lasting emotional freedom. In this conversation, we explore attachment, trauma, emotional safety, masculinity, femininity, and what it truly takes to build relationships that nourish rather than deplete us. If you've ever wondered why love can feel harder than success, this episode is for you.

All About Cake with Don Donneruno (The Cake Don)
What if the thing you're meant to do doesn't find you until the second half of your life? This week on The Dana Grant Show, I'm joined by Don Donneruno (The Cake Don), custom cake designer, conceptual engineer, artist, and storyteller whose extraordinary creations prove that creativity has no expiration date. Don didn't discover his passion until his forties, when he made his very first cake. What began as an unexpected creative outlet became a thriving career built on fearless imagination, artistic expression, and the belief that every creation should tell a story. Inspired by everything from New York City's graffiti culture and comic books to rock music, pop art, and street life, Don approaches every cake like a work of art. His designs aren't just desserts, they're bold statements of personality, culture, and creativity.

The Silent Divorce: When "Good Enough" Isn't Enough with Lisa Miller
What happens when your marriage isn't toxic... but it isn't truly alive either? This week on The Dana Grant Show, I'm joined by Lisa Miller, relationship and divorce coach and advocate for women navigating one of the most misunderstood experiences in marriage—the silent divorce. Lisa's story isn't one of betrayal or abuse. It's the story of countless women who find themselves married to a "good guy" while quietly feeling invisible, emotionally disconnected, and deeply lonely. From the outside, everything appears fine. Inside, they're carrying the weight of keeping everyone else happy while losing themselves in the process. Having lived this journey herself, Lisa now helps women move beyond guilt, confusion, and fear so they can make empowered decisions rooted in truth rather than obligation. Her work isn't about encouraging divorce, it's about helping women reconnect with themselves, understand what they truly need, and choose a path that aligns with their deepest values. In this conversation, we explore emotional loneliness, identity within marriage, the difference between comfort and connection, and how to find clarity when there are no obvious answers. If you've ever wondered whether it's okay to want more than "fine," this episode is for you.

The Inner Work with Ian Anderson
This week on The Dana Grant Show, Dana sits down with Ian Anderson, a lifelong student of philosophy, psychology, and metaphysics whose journey has taken him far beyond the walls of academia and deep into the mysteries of the human mind.
