    10 Years of Why Not Now?: Amy Jo Martin & Richard Grewar on the Conversations That Changed Us (Ep 353)
    Aug 26 2026

    For 10 years, Amy Jo Martin has asked hundreds of entrepreneurs, creators, athletes and cultural icons one deceptively simple question: Why Not Now?

    In this special 10-year anniversary episode of the Why Not Now? podcast, the person usually behind the scenes steps up to the mic. Longtime producer Richard Grewar joins Amy Jo to look back at a decade of conversations, unexpected moments and lessons that have shaped the show - and both of their lives.

    They go back to the beginning: launching the podcast from a boat in San Diego, landing Mark Cuban as their first guest and figuring out production as they went. From there, they revisit memorable conversations with guests including Tony Robbins, Matthew McConaughey, Billy Corgan and more, along with the moments that proved some of the most powerful stories don't always come from the biggest names.

    Amy Jo and Richard also unpack how podcasting has changed over the past decade, why genuine curiosity still beats a perfectly prepared question, and what producing hundreds of hours of conversation can teach you about listening, decision-making, the power of a follow up question and knowing when not to edit out the silence.

    There are stories about recording through steam trains, unreliable Wi-Fi, an RV and even a makeshift studio near the NICU. But at its core, this episode is about what happens when you keep following your curiosity - even when you don't know where it's leading.

    Ten years later, the question remains the same.

  • Dr. Shefali on Conscious Parenting and Why Your Child Isn't Your Project (Ep 352)

    Dr. Shefali on Conscious Parenting and Why Your Child Isn't Your Project (Ep 352)
    Jul 22 2026

    What if the greatest gift you can give your child has nothing to do with parenting techniques?

    In this conversation, Amy Jo Martin sits down with world-renowned clinical psychologist, New York Times bestselling author, and founder of the Conscious Parenting movement, Dr. Shefali, for an honest discussion about what children are really asking of us, and why the work begins within ourselves.

    Together, they explore why so many parents feel pressure to optimize every moment, manage every outcome, and "project manage" their children, when what kids often need most is a regulated, present adult.

    Dr. Shefali shares why she felt compelled to write her new books, Raising Conscious Sons and Raising Conscious Daughters, after witnessing the growing mental health challenges facing today's children, and offers practical wisdom for navigating everything from co-parenting and divorce to guilt, identity, and emotional resilience.

    Amy Jo and Dr. Shefali also tackle one of today's biggest parenting questions: how should families think about AI? Rather than focusing on fear, they explore how to preserve original thinking, creativity, boredom, and genuine human connection in a rapidly changing world.

    In this episode you'll learn:

    • Why healing yourself is one of the greatest gifts you can give your children
    • How to navigate co-parenting, divorce, and guilt with greater awareness
    • What today's mental health crisis is revealing about modern childhood
    • Dr. Shefali's perspective on AI, technology, and protecting human creativity
    • Why managing yourself, not everyone around you, is the foundation of a meaningful life

    Whether you're raising young children, navigating adolescence, leading a team, or simply trying to become a more conscious version of yourself, this conversation is a reminder that lasting change starts from the inside out.

  • The Gap Between Knowing and Doing with Jim Kwik (Ep 351)

    The Gap Between Knowing and Doing with Jim Kwik (Ep 351)
    Jun 12 2026
    The gap between an idea and action is often smaller than we think. Jim Kwik believes one question can help close it: "What's the tiniest action you can take today to move closer to your goal?" In this episode of Why Not Now?, Amy Jo Martin sits down with brain coach, entrepreneur, founder of Kwik Learning, and New York Times bestselling author Jim Kwik to explore motivation, identity, memory, focus, and how to stay mentally sharp in an AI-driven world. The conversation draws from the ideas behind Jim's upcoming book, Limitless Daily, which offers 366 bite-sized practices to help readers train their brains, sharpen their focus, and create lasting change through small, consistent actions. Jim shares the deeply personal story of a near-fatal car accident that forced him to reevaluate what he wanted to leave behind - and ultimately led him to write the book that millions of readers now know as Limitless. From there, Amy and Jim unpack the hidden beliefs that keep people stuck, why knowledge alone isn't power, and what it takes to bridge the gap between knowing and doing. Together, they explore Jim's framework for lasting change, including the roles of mindset, motivation, and methods, as well as the power of purpose, energy, and small, simple steps. They also discuss the growing challenge of protecting human intelligence in a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, algorithms, distraction, and information overload. In this conversation, you'll learn: How to overcome limiting beliefs and identity gapsWhy purpose, energy, and small steps drive sustainable motivationThe difference between inspiration, ideation, and implementationHow AI can enhance—not replace—human intelligenceWhy "mind before media" may be one of the most important habits for focus, learning, and performance If you've ever struggled to move an idea into action, this episode offers practical wisdom for building momentum, strengthening your mindset, and taking the next step.
