In this episode, Michael-Thomas and Sierra break down the concept of audacity—what it is, why it feels like it’s everywhere, and how it shows up in everyday life.

From “mild nerve” to full-blown “criminal audacity,” they introduce the Audacity Spectrum and share hilarious, relatable examples of people acting boldly, loudly, and sometimes completely incorrectly.

They also explore the role of social media, keyboard warriors, and the rise of confidence without expertise, while reflecting on boundaries, accountability, and the importance of self-awareness.

And yes… they also admit that sometimes, we might be part of the problem.

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “why are people like this?”—this episode is for you.

The conversation also shifts to Sierra’s experience with Chilean cuisine—what she tried, what stood out, and how food played a role in her travel experience.
