This week, in what might be the funniest episode yet, Molly and Emese are joined by co-stars Amy Schumer and Brianne Howey. They get candid about motherhood, career evolution, and their new film, Kinda Pregnant —which unexpectedly led to Amy’s latest health discovery. Amy opens up about how public criticism led her to uncover her Cushing syndrome diagnosis, what it’s like to navigate comedy and Hollywood as a mom, and the importance of sharing birth stories without shame. Brianne shares how becoming a mother has shifted her perspective on work, how Ginny & Georgia ’s Georgia Miller compares to real-life parenting, and the power of female friendships in the industry. We also go behind the scenes of their new Netflix film, Kinda Pregnant —how Molly first got the script, why Amy and Brianne were drawn to the project, and what it means for women today. Plus, they reflect on their early career struggles, the moment they knew they “made it,” and how motherhood has reshaped their ambitions. From career highs to personal challenges, this episode is raw, funny, and packed with insights.

In this episode of The GaryVee Audio Experience, I dive into a high-energy Q&A session recorded at EXMA Mexico City. We explore some of the most pressing questions from the audience about speed versus slowing down, authenticity in content creation, and the role of intuition in decision-making.

I also share my perspective on the future of podcasting, AI’s transformative role in creative industries, and how blockchain technology could redefine human consciousness. Whether you’re figuring out how to stay true to your personal brand, chasing purpose beyond money, or just wondering how to leverage live social shopping, this episode is packed with real talk and actionable insights.

I close with a powerful reminder: trust your gut—it’ll take you farther than overthinking ever could.
