  • From Girlboss to Trust Fund: Sophia Amoruso’s Bold New Era (Ep 338)
    Jul 3 2025

    What happens when you’re on top of the world—and everything changes overnight? In this raw and unfiltered episode of the Why Not Now? podcast, Amy Jo Martin reunites with entrepreneur, author, and cultural force Sophia Amoruso. This is Sophia's second time on the show, nearly a decade after her first appearance.

    From founding Nasty Gal and Girlboss to navigating public scrutiny, financial highs and lows, and deeply personal transitions, Sophia opens up about what she's learned from building (and rebuilding) her life and career.

    You will get a rare behind-the-scenes look at the real woman behind the brand, including her thoughts on intentionality, burnout, reinventing your identity, and learning to say "Why Not Stop?" as much as “Why Not Now?”

    Sophia shares her approach to time, money, trust, and relationships - with a refreshingly honest take on startup culture, success, and failure.

    You’ll also hear about her latest venture, Trust Fund; a disruptive early-stage investment fund, and her unexpected passion for poker, which she’s parlayed into strategic business development. She also shares what she’s learned about ambition, regret, and aging gracefully in the spotlight.

  • Be Where Your Feet Are: LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil (Ep 337)
    Jun 26 2025

    What if your most painful moment could lead to your most meaningful work? In this episode of Why Not Now?, we revisit Amy Jo Martin’s conversation with Scott O’Neil - CEO of LIV Golf and former CEO of the Philadelphia 76ers - one of the most raw and riveting conversations in the show’s history.

    A titan in the sports and entertainment industry, Scott shares how a deeply personal tragedy - the loss of his best friend to suicide - became the catalyst for his bestselling book Be Where Your Feet Are and a complete re-evaluation of what matters most.

    From leading billion-dollar organizations to navigating family, grief, and growth, Scott talks about embracing vulnerability, managing intensity, and why "balance" is a myth, but presence is everything. He opens up about getting fired from his dream job, redefining success, and how he used 200 cold calls to pivot his career during one of his lowest chapters.

    Whether you’re in the thick of a transition, craving more presence in your life, or simply trying to figure out what’s next, this conversation is for you. Scott doesn't just talk about leadership, he embodies it, with heart and humility.

    You'll walk away with tools to build resilience, lead with heart, protect your time, and create meaningful connections in your work and at home.

  • Mel Robbins: The 5 Second Rule – Stop Overthinking, Start Doing (Ep 336)
    Jun 12 2025

    In this episode of Why Not Now?, we revisit Amy Jo’s interview with bestselling author, speaker, and global thought leader Mel Robbins - and the conversation is as raw, real, and revelatory as ever.

    Mel opens up about her incredible journey from burned-out attorney to one of the most booked female speakers in the world. At the heart of her transformation? A single moment at an Oprah Winfrey event that sparked a visceral reaction and led to a cascade of courageous decisions. Mel shares how she built her powerhouse platform by learning to trust her inner wisdom - and by inventing one of the simplest, most powerful tools for action: The 5 Second Rule.

    You’ll learn how to spot your own “Why Not Now?” moments, how to use your energy gauge to make better decisions, and why starting before you're ready might just be the secret to real progress.

    From facing bankruptcy to building a seven-figure business, Mel’s story is a masterclass in resilience, clarity, and courage. Whether you're feeling stuck, seeking purpose, or just need a push to get out of your head and into motion - this episode delivers.
