At The Table with Luke Haverty

Today’s guest is Sean Hotchkiss. He’s a former GQ writer turned men’s coach and the author behind One Man’s Heart, a newsletter exploring what it means to live with more honesty, vulnerability, and depth.Sean’s story started in the fast lane: fashion weeks, parties, and bylines at one of the top men’s magazines in the world. But after years of chasing what he thought would bring him happiness, he walked away to do something harder: face himself. That path took him deep into therapy, coaching, and shadow work, and it’s now the foundation of how he helps other men reconnect with themselves.In this episode, we talk about self-discovery, how to develop a healthier relationship with both the masculine and the feminine, and what it really takes to face the deeper parts of yourself. We also dig into finding peace in uncertainty, why slowing down might be the bravest thing you can do, and the lessons he’s learned guiding other men through this important, inner work.Sean speaks with a level of honesty that’s rare. This one left me thinking long after we wrapped. Hope it does the same for you. We recorded this remotely; our audio at times cuts out or clips.. Did our best to rectify but please bear with us (:Big love.-ExtrasFollow Sean: (Substack, Instagram)-Get in Touch with LukeInstagram:⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/lukehaverty/⁠⁠YouTube:⁠ ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LukeHaverty⁠⁠Contact:⁠⁠ asupperseries.com⁠⁠

Welcome back to At the Table. Today’s guest is Anne Mahlum. She’s the founder of Solidcore and Back on My Feet, two companies built on one belief: people can change their lives when given the chance.Back on My Feet started from a personal place. Anne grew up watching her dad struggle with addiction. She saw how hard it is to rebuild a life and how powerful it can be when someone believes in you. That insight led her to start a running club for people experiencing homelessness which grew into a thriving, national nonprofit helping thousands across the country.A few years later, she emptied her savings to open the first Solidcore studio. No safety net, just a clear vision and a lot of grit. She grew it to nearly 2,000 employees, hundreds of thousands of clients and in 2023 sold the company for over $300 million.. Sharing millions with her team on the way out.In this episode, we talk about the journey behind both businesses, how you can find your own unique purpose & break through fear as well as what it means to forge a path as a woman in spaces that weren’t necessarily built for you.Anne caught absolute fire in this one.. our mic might never be the same (: She’s a mentor of mine and someone I hope you can learn from too.Big love.-ExtrasLearn more about Anne: (Instagram, Work with Anne, her Website, Solidcore, Back on My Feet)-Get in Touch with LukeInstagram:⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/lukehaverty/⁠⁠YouTube:⁠ ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LukeHaverty⁠⁠Contact:⁠⁠ asupperseries.com⁠⁠

Hi friends. Today I sit down with Eli Snyder, a man from my home town in Kansas who has made it his mission to visit every country in the world. What stands out most isn’t the number of countries he’s visited (+100), it’s how he’s doing it. Eli has chosen the road less traveled, immersing himself in places most western travelers wouldn’t dare to go, and doing it with humility, curiosity, and a real respect for the people & cultures he encountered along the way.Whether he’s hiking through northern Afghanistan or leading a small group through the mountains of Albania, the work is the same.. To live & learn as a local.In this episode, we talk about how Eli made the leap from corporate life to full-time exploration, what he’s learned through solitude and discomfort, and why he believes meaning lives in the places most people overlook. We get into some of his favorite (& scariest) stories from the road, the responsibility of documenting cultures that aren’t your own, how his group expeditions came to life, and a few of his go-to travel hacks.We’re not in Kansas anymore (:Big Love, Luke-ExtrasFollow Eli on Instagram-Get in Touch with LukeInstagram:⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/lukehaverty/⁠⁠YouTube:⁠ ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LukeHaverty⁠⁠Contact:⁠⁠ asupperseries.com⁠⁠

Hi friends. Today I sit down with Flynn Skidmore — a licensed therapist and someone many consider to be one of the most impactful practitioners of our generation. He’s built a platform by naming the patterns most of us tend to avoid, myself included. But behind the reach and sharp delivery is someone who’s spent real time turning inward and doing the work for himself.Flynn hasn’t bypassed the harder parts of his journey. He’s met them head-on. He’s done the work to understand his own pain, his patterns, and the stories he used to believe. And instead of hiding those parts, he’s used them as a compass — a way to deepen his own awareness and hold space for others to do the same.In this episode, we explore how love and curiosity deepen growth and relationships, what somatic therapy has taught him about healing through the body, and how attachment styles show up in relationships. We also talk about the role AI might play in the future of therapy — a topic I think will only become more important over time.There’s a groundedness in the way Flynn shares that makes complex inner work feel accessible. Not simple, but possible. This one cracked something open for me. Hope it does the same for you.Onwards & upwards.Luke-ExtrasFollow Flynn Skidmore on Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/flynnskidmore/-Get in Touch with LukeInstagram:⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/lukehaverty/⁠⁠YouTube:⁠ ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LukeHaverty⁠⁠Contact:⁠⁠ asupperseries.com⁠⁠

Hi friends. Today we sit down with Maja Dlugolecki. A Polish-American painter, curator, and the founder of Lobster Club, a gallery and rotating residency program that blends art, music and food around the world.Maja started painting after a breakup. It was just a way to move through what she was feeling, but over time, it became a daily practice. Her style is abstract and intuitive, with layered textures and colors shaped by whatever she’s carrying. Instead of journaling, she paints, and each piece gets a title tied to a memory or moment from that time.As the Founder & Director of Lobster Club, Maja has created spaces that feel more like living, breathing experiences than traditional galleries. The goal is simple: give artists autonomy, and let community and creativity lead.In this episode, we talk about how Maja learned to channel emotion into her work, how she made the leap from a career in design to building a life around her art, and how you might begin to tap into your own creative process. I’ve learned a lot from Maja, this one hit deep. Hope you enjoy.Onwards & upwards,Luke-ExtrasFollow Maja Dlugolecki on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maijkah/Lobster Club: https://www.instagram.com/lobster___club/-Get in Touch with LukeInstagram:⁠https://www.instagram.com/lukehaverty/⁠YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LukeHaverty⁠Contact:⁠ asupperseries.com⁠
