This is how you DAYCATION.

Join Sujean in the studio for a conversation with Michael Wolf, the CEO of ResortPass, which lets you experience the perks of luxury hotels (think poolside lounging, spa days, and mini wellness escapes) without having to book an overnight stay. Hello micro-getaways!

Michael is a seasoned operator known for scaling beloved wellness companies. He previously helped build ClassPass as Global Head of Operations, and he and Sujean both grew their careers in the world of New York City-based consumer and lifestyle brands. Today, Michael is leading ResortPass with a focus on talent and team, like-minded investors, and self-awareness as a superpower.

In this episode of Alchemy Social, Sujean and Michael discuss:
• Why you should take more daycations, and why it's different from vacation;
• How you can enjoy the amenities of luxury hotels and resorts without spending the night;
• What it's like to be an operator versus a founder;
• A powerful tool called "back-channeling" and other hiring and leadership hacks; and
• How to find investors you love. (Michael proves it's possible.)

Whether you're craving more accessible luxury experiences, interested in new wellness rituals, or growing a modern consumer brand, this episode is for you.

What actually makes you feel comfortable in a space? Join Sujean in the studio for a conversation with Shelly Lynch-Sparks, a celebrated interior designer known for creating versatile spaces with soul, from stunning residences and restaurants to offices and wellness studios.

Shelly is the founder of New York-based interior design firm Hyphen & Co., whose work has been featured everywhere from Architectural Digest to The New York Times. Before venturing out on her own, she held design roles at HGTV, Anthropologie, and Homepolish. She and her wife are also the owners of One Trick Pony, a café and cocktail bar that has become a vibrant hub for community in the Hamptons.

• The secret behind designing spaces that FEEL as good as they look;
• Three simple design changes to transform your home;
• How an IRL (podcast) conversation or coffee can build community;
• What it means to feel fully present in your career, instead of chasing "what's next;" and

Join Sujean in the studio for a conversation with Molly Fienning, a serial entrepreneur who is reframing our relationship with alcohol.

Molly is the co-founder of Sipland, a drinks-obsessed consultancy that is helping companies and consumers make sense of the booming $13B no- and low-alcohol market through experiences, drinks curation, and content. Molly previously co-founded Babiators, the stylish sunglasses and accessories brand for kids; and Red Clay, a line of premium Southern-inspired hot sauces.

From majoring in computer science at Harvard (where she and Sujean first met) to building three very different - and thriving - companies, Molly shows us what's possible when you trust your intuition.

In this thought-provoking episode of Alchemy Social, Sujean and Molly chat about:

• How Sipland helped organize the world's first 100% non-alcoholic Octoberfest ("No-toberfest") in Boston, and how you can get tipsy drinking zero-proof cocktails;
• The rise of the no- and low-alcohol and sober-curious movement, and how brands are responding;
• Why consumers (and companies) are craving richer, more meaningful in-person experiences;
• The surprising ways motherhood and entrepreneurship go hand-in-hand; and
• Why listening might just be the ultimate superpower for success.

Whether you're starting a business, interested in hospitality, or rethinking your relationship with alcohol, this conversation will inspire you.
