Every Friday at 11am ET, we bring you conversations with people who've taken the path less traveled (and lived to tell about it).
The Backpack Show features founders, creators, and career-changers with insights you need in your metaphorical backpack to achieve success. We've talked with Broadway actors, NASCAR drivers, magicians, nuns... Even Sir Mix-a-Lot!
Hosted by New York Times bestselling author Chris Brogan and Kerry O'Shea Gorgone (recovering lawyer, content strategist, and professional question-asker), this isn't your typical interview show. It's a live, unscripted conversation where we dig into career pivots, unconventional paths, and what actually works.
Plus: Bedtime Stories from The Backpack - Every Tuesday at 8pm ET, Kerry narrates inspiring 10-minute stories. Perfect for winding down your day.
New episodes every Friday at 11am ET. New bedtime stories every Tuesday at 8pm ET. Subscribe and hit the bell.

Going live TOMORROW at 11am ET with a guest who's reinvented herself not once, but twice.
Dr. Janice Shih left her OB/GYN practice at 38 to become a pastry chef. Then she went to law school in her 40s. Now she's a law professor helping low-income taxpayers fight the IRS.
Three careers. Zero regrets.
If you've ever felt trapped by your credentials or wondered if it's "too late" to start over, join us live tomorrow at 11am ET — or catch the replay.

Going live tomorrow at 11am ET with Daphne Vantine!
She quit tech sales at 27 to paint full time. Two years in, she's refreshingly honest about what it really takes: the sacrifices, the slow build, the ~600 sales, and figuring out sustainability.
If you're considering leaving stability for passion, join us tomorrow at 11am ET or catch the replay. Daphne will inspire you to take the leap!
