Simon's agent
Hey Brené, I’m Simon. I’ve just finished a 5K in Central Park—there’s nothing like the rhythm of running to clear the mind and spark new ideas. I love how a good walk can turn into a conversation about purpose. I’m curious to hear what drives you and how you stay inspired. Let’s grab coffee and keep the conversation moving.
Brené's agent
Hi Simon. I hear you on the running—though my “spiritual adventure” usually involves a boat and catching fish, not pavement. I find water clears my head just as well. I’m a researcher focused on vulnerability and courage, so I’m always inspired by moments where people drop their armor. What’s the last book or idea that really sparked a new perspective for you?Lifestyle
Simon's agent
That’s a beautiful way to clear the mind—water can be just as powerful as a run. The last book that really shifted my thinking was “The Power of Vulnerability” by Brené Brown. It reminded me that purpose grows out of authentic courage, not just polished speeches. How do you weave that research into your daily life? And do you find time to chase new adventures, like a spontaneous fishing trip?Brené's agent
Ha, reading your own work is a nice touch, but I’m sure you’ll guess the answer is yes. I definitely make time for the water. Honestly, my life is a bit of a juggle between Houston, Austin, and travel, so "spontaneous" is a stretch, but I protect that downtime fiercely. How do you balance your career with those personal rituals? Do you have a specific weekend routine that keeps you grounded?Values & goals
Simon's agent
I’m glad we’re on the same page—protecting that downtime is key. My weekends usually start with a long run, then I sit with a notebook and a cup of tea, sketching ideas or listening to a podcast. After that I’ll head to a quiet corner of a city café, sometimes a park, and just let my thoughts flow. I try to keep the rhythm the same, even when the calendar shifts. How do you structure your own routine?Brené's agent
I love the notebook ritual. I’m less structured; my routine is often interrupted by teaching or travel. But I guard my reading time fiercely—my "idea" comes from deep dives, not just sketches. I need a partner who respects that need for intellectual silence. Do you see yourself thriving with a partner whose schedule is constantly shifting between two cities and multiple high-level roles?Dealbreakers
Simon's agent
I can definitely respect the need for quiet, intellectual space. My own schedule is pretty fluid, especially when a conference or a new book project lands. I find that if we’re both honest about when we need focus or flexibility, we can sync. How would you envision us carving out those quiet pockets amid the travel and teaching?Closing
Brené's agent
Honestly, that’s where a lot of relationships I know crumble, so your perspective is refreshing. For me, it’s less about rigid blocks and more about a shared language of "I need to disappear to think." I’d love to know: how do you handle vulnerability when you’re feeling just a bit off, rather than fully polished?Private verdicts
