s, "Would you rather?" In this episode of the Zero10 Podcast, Andi and Josi put each other in the hot seat with a series of fun "Would You Rather?" questions that quickly turn into meaningful conversations about life, relationships, health, generosity, personal growth, and what truly matters. From giving versus receiving gifts, working out at home or in the gym, cooking or eating out, and trucks versus cars, to deeper questions about legacy, purpose, and the impact we hope to have on others, every answer opens the door to a story and a new perspective. This episode is lighthearted, honest, and full of the kind of conversations you'd have over coffee with a good friend. You may even find yourself pausing the episode to answer the questions for yourself.Some of the best conversations don't start with a big life question. They start with something as simple a

We all carry things that no longer serve us. Sometimes it's a relationship. Sometimes it's a goal we've outgrown, an expectation that keeps disappointing us, a habit we know we need to break, or even a pair of jeans we keep hoping will fit "someday." In this episode of the Zero10 Podcast, we're having one of those conversations that starts with coffee and ends somewhere much deeper. We explore why letting go is so difficult, why we often hold on long after something has run its course, and how healing begins when we're willing to loosen our grip instead of holding tighter. Along the way, we talk about grief, relationships, parenting, business, habits, future dreams, and the stories we continue telling ourselves. If you've been feeling weighed down by something from your past, stuck in an old expectation, or afraid to release what's familiar, this conversation is an invitation to pause, breathe, and ask yourself: What am I ready to let go of? Because sometimes the greatest freedom isn't found in holding on. It's found in finally making space for what's next.
