*Not sponsored by Colgate, no matter what Mr. Monopoly tries to tell you. Two topics in a row about musicals?! We must think it's already 2027, the year of all musicals! Next week we return to movies you probably haven't seen with Pastorale 1943 (1978).

Introducing Sara Blakely | What Nobody Sees After You Achieve Everything | No Magic Pill from No Magic Pill with Blake Mycoskie. Follow the show: No Magic Pill with Blake Mycoskie In this episode of No Magic Pill, Blake Mycoskie sits down with Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx, creator of Sneaks, and one of the most resilient entrepreneurs alive,  for a conversation that goes far beyond business. Sara shares the grief that blindsided her after selling Spanx, why society has no framework for checking in on someone who just achieved everything, how her marriage to fellow entrepreneur Jesse Itzler has been a lifeline, and the moment she realized she had spent 16 years being taught what to think instead of how to think. Raw, honest and genuinely surprising, this one will stay with you. #NoMagicPill #BlakeMycoskie #SaraBlakely Enough Foundation's mission is to spread reminders in every form — bracelets, messages, actions, community — until feeling ENOUGH becomes the cultural default.
