The “Summer of More” rolls into fall as Tinsley sits down with unicorn leader Kristi Straw, MBA, Founder of Lighthouse Leadership Consultants, for a candid, high-energy conversation about claiming your voice, rewriting your story, and betting on yourself—especially in midlife. From her viral “purple swimsuit” post to doubling her business in a few months, Kristi shares how radical honesty, aligned boundaries, and a defined point of view can ignite momentum you can actually feel.

• Why people buy based on what they no longer want to feel—and how to use that insight with integrity

• The Authentic Authority Archetypes (hello, Catalysts) and why saying no is a growth strategy, not a personality flaw

• The “super signature” play: a simple, smart branding move that compounds visibility

• Story as strategy: telling the truth without becoming “the bitter voice”—and how to build your square squad for reflection and reality checks

• Midlife reinvention without apology: leaving the rooms that dim you, and creating rooms where you shine

• From perfection paralysis to public iteration: why betting on yourself beats sitting in fear
