Introducing Our New Podcast, Teach Me Something New!

Brit Morin
Mar 04, 2020

If you've followed me on Instagram for the past two years, you may know that I have tried nearly 60 new things during that time... each one for exactly a week. The whole thing was called Give it a Week and it quite literally changed my life by enabling me — a 30-something CEO, wife and mom of two little boys — to get out of my comfort zone and learn something new, all in just seven days.

After talking to thousands of you guys, it seems clear that it struck a chord with you all too. The reason, it seems, is that we adult women are busier and more overwhelmed than ever. We are tasked to grow our careers, take care of our partners and kids, be a social butterfly, stay fit, eat right, and try to find a few minutes of "down time" for ourselves somewhere amongst the madness. We're left with little time to keep learning and exploring and often just stop and stall out.

It's for these reasons that I'm excited to announce the launch of Teach Me Something New, a new podcast in collaboration with iHeartMedia. In each episode, I'll sit down with inspirational figures like scientists, CEOs, influencers and celebrities, and ask them to teach me something new.

Me and my co-hosts – alternating between my husband Dave Morin, and co-founder Anjelika Temple – will tackle a different theme in each episode focusing on all kinds of topics ranging from things like creativity, family and relationships, mental and physical wellness, business and innovation, and much more.

Even cooler? Our first episode is "Acting for Everyday Life" with Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher. It's their first ever interview together (yes, really!) and I will be very surprised if you don't cry laughing by the end, just like I did both IRL and also in the four pre-listens I did before pushing it live You may also walk away with a bit more pep in your more confident step, even if you have to "fake it till you make it" like Ashton advises. Check out the trailer below!

Be sure to subscribe to Teach Me Something New on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, or wherever you get your podcasts.

As for what's next with Brit + Co, we've been hard at work evolving our mission to help women get smarter, try new things, and use courage and creativity to reach their ultimate potential. Expect to hear directly from me MUCH more — in fact, I'll be authoring way more content and can't wait to share more of what's on my mind. We'll also be making some changes to our daily stories both here on brit.co and on our social channels, keeping in tune with the new topic of the week. I'll always share the latest podcast episode and topic of the week in our weekly emails, so be sure to subscribe and keep those eyes on your inbox!

How To Build A Local Community When You’re A Digital Creator

Verizon
verizon

In our Take 5 series, sponsored by Verizon, we ask women in business about unexpected challenges, their inspirations, recent wins, and how the free Verizon Small Business Digital Ready Program has helped propel their business forward. Here, we meet Rita Suzanne, a marketing strategist for health and wellness businesses who learned to network, connect with other entrepreneurs, and build her business online and IRL.

What's an unexpected business challenge that you've had to face and how did you overcome it?

The hardest thing for me was my sister passed away and I ended up taking custody of my nieces. I ended up being a single mom of four kids. This is the thing that transitioned my whole entire life. I stopped doing web design and started my podcast Mom Owned and Operated. I wanted to reconnect with other moms and figure out how they were able to run their businesses and raise a family and take care of themselves because I wasn't able to do all three at the same time. Through that journey, I realized that I really needed to connect with other people and how important it was for my business. It helped me to create that community that I was yearning for that I didn't realize that I needed.

What's a recent small win for your business?

For me, the win was just pivoting back to something that I actually wanted to do. Also, I’ve started to say no to things that I no longer want to do.

Who is a woman in business that you look up to and why?

I have always admired and looked up to Amy Porterfield [author of Two Weeks Notice]. I listened to her all the time when I was starting out. I think that she's amazing and I love her stuff. She just seems like a very genuine person.

Is there a resource that has made an impact on you as an entrepreneur?

I listen to a lot of audio books. One of my favorites that has been huge for me is You Are A Badass by Jen Sincero. I was told when I first started my business, by a friend who was a business coach, that I have a mindset problem. Ten years ago, I had no idea even what “mindset” was. Sincero’s book helped me to see what she meant by “mindset” and helped me adjust that mindset and fix some of the things that I didn't realize were broken.

How has the Verizon Small Business Digital Ready Program helped propel your business forward?

There are a lot of things that I have loved about it. There are local networking and training opportunities, and that has been great, and the online training is very valuable. It's a great resource. I find that marketing needs a three-tiered approach, meaning you need to network it locally, socially, and then also have a very comprehensive online approach to your marketing. One of the Verizon Small Business trainings that I took was all about taking advantage of your local resources. I found that to be extremely valuable because often people think they need to just focus on social media. I don't think that people focus enough on their local community.

Ryan Reynolds Praises Taylor Swift's "Very Sweet" Gesture As His Kids' Godmother

Take our favorite celebrity BFF's, Taylor Swift and Blake Lively, and our favorite celebrity couple, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, and you truly get one big happy family. Earlier this summer, Blake and Ryan showed up to the Eras Tour to support the "Fortnight" singer, and on July 25, Taylor returned the love by making a rare lengthy post to her Instagram story.

Here's everything you need to know about Taylor Swift's relationship with Blake Lively's kids as their godmother.

Taylor Swift/Instagram

Taylor Swift posted a photo to her Instagram story featuring Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and Shawn Levy — all of whom are involved in Deadpool & Wolverine, in theaters July 26!

"Over the past few years I have watched one of my best friends on the planet pour every bit of his heart, soul, sweat, time, energy, jokes, pain, joy, rebellion, darkness, and magic into this film," she says. "He's created the best work of his life, and this film feels like an actual joy portal, a wild escape from reality, and an abs sandwich."

After joking that Ryan, Blake, and Shawn randomly crashed her photo, Taylor continues, saying, "Shout out to Wade Wilson [the character played by Ryan Reynolds], aka my godkids' sperm donor!"

Ryan Reynolds had the funniest reaction, and told Deadline, "I'm going to need that on my gravestone, actually."

"Yeah, that is kind of it. She is the godparent to my daughters," the Deadpool actor continued. "That was very sweet. Not just sweet, that was, like, you could probably quantify a box office based on Taylor just doing something like that."

In the past, Ryan Reynolds has been vocal about how much his kids (James, Inez, Betty, and Olin) love Taylor Swift, and the family's appearance at the Eras Tour even went viral!

"I think what's most exciting for them is that for the longest time they just thought Taylor's just like an aunt, like a friend of Mommy and Daddy that's very, very close, almost family," he says onThe Jess Cagle Show. "And then they went to a concert one day and were like, 'Ohhhhh, this isn't a hobby.'"

Leighton Meester And Adam Brody Just Had The Cutest Date Night Out

We are still haunted by the fact that Gossip Girl is over (even the reboot 😩), but at least we can still hear from our fave group of Upper East Siders.

Podcrushed, a podcast hosted by Penn Badgley, Nava Kavelin, and Sophie Ansari, welcomed actor Adam Brody on their most recent episode. Brody, whom you may know from The O.C., Shazam! and Fleishman is in Trouble, also happens to be married to Leighton Meester, AKA the one and only Blair Waldorf, Badgley’s former Gossip Girl castmate — and the couple just had the cutest date night!

Leighton Meester and Adam Brody were most recently seen at the 2024 SAG Awards! They stunned on the red carpet with Leighton in a brown satin dress and Adam rocking a navy suit. Both Adam and Leighton were absolutely glowing!

www.youtube.com

Adam Brody | Full Ep | Podcrushed Podcast

Funny enough, GG characters Dan Humphrey and Blair Waldorf have a brief fling in the show, and Badgley and Brody share a striking resemblance to one another, which Badgley jokes about during the episode.

www.instagram.com

PODCRUSHED on Instagram: "How old were you when you found out Adam and Penn were two different people?"

Brody admits he was “smitten instantly” with his now-wife after seeing her and the rest of the GG cast come through Canter’s, a Los Angeles deli Brody frequented.

www.instagram.com

PODCRUSHED on Instagram: "This week Adam Brody stops by and wins the group over with his endless trove of middle school stories. Adam gets passionate explaining his take on marriage, and shares why he’s the happiest he’s ever been (link in stories)."

The duo didn’t date until several years after their first introduction, but Brody was certainly crushing on Meester, despite her remaining "elusive" and "aloof." His recounting of their love story goes against everything that Meester’s shared about their relationship's origin, but Brody stands by it — and apparently has receipts. 👀

"I couldn't get a total read because, even though she professes to have been interested in me and all those things, not only did she not pursue that, I mean, she was perfectly willing to let that never happen,” Brody added. "Yeah, she was perfectly willing to let that message in the bottle return to sea at several points.”

Awww! We absolutely love seeing people in love – I mean, it’s just so precious. Hopefully we’ll see more of Brody and Meester together, and hear more from Badgley in the future — we’ll definitely keep an eye out for all things You!

New Year’s Rockin’ Eve

If you ask me, there's no December TV show as iconic as New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. It's going to be the perfect way to ring out 2024 (and welcome 2025).

Dick Clark's New Year’s Rockin’ Eve is hosted by Ryan Seacrest.

30 Unique Holiday Gifts That Kids Will Actually Love

Holidays are a 1000 times better with kids. From baking holiday treats together to getting in the spirit with DIY holiday decorations, everything about the festive season is new and exciting as they wait for the big day to arrive. My daughter recently turned 10 and there have been so many wins (and a few duds) under the tree that I thought I'd share our favorite gifts over the years (that are great for *all* kids, not just girls). From interactive toys to educational kits to gifts that will get them away from screens and excited for the outdoors, these unique gifts will inspire creativity and spark their imaginations while being totally fun too!

Woom Bike

My daughter has grown up with these bikes, from the Balance Bike to the Explore Bike with disc brakes, 7 gears and all-terrain tires, and she LOVES them. They're super light and glide easily, even the kickstand is so smooth. Woom Bikes are designed specifically for kids at every stage. They are pricier than other bike brands, but I find that they resell very quickly at a high price point so you essentially get your money back. Choose from an variety of colors and levels, and they even have a warehouse option for gently used Wooms.

Micro Kickboard Foldable LED Scooter

This is on our holiday wish list because my friend and her son love them so much. These scooters are Swiss-designed, three-wheeled, lightweight and durable enough for well kids.
