Instagram Michelle Obama

For the latest episode of @imopodcasts, Craig and I sat down with the brilliant @natasharothwell. Natasha reminded us that when we truly understand ourselves—owning our quirks, knowing our strengths, and embracing our communities—we can transform the way we live our lives. I’m so grateful for her honesty, humor, and wisdom. Watch now on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.

In @officialspikelee’s world, it all comes back to basketball. Not even making a movie can get between him and his Knicks! Thank you, @progressive #openthehouse

@michelleobama and @craigmalrob go head-to-head as they participate in the viral blind paint challenge. Watch it all on YouTube at the link in our bios. 🎨

There’s nothing like celebrating with friends and family! On behalf of everyone at IMO and @highergroundmedia, we’d like to give a huge thank you to everyone who came out to join us at the @MVAAFF. And special shoutout to @airbnb Photography Service, for capturing memories that will last a lifetime. 📸

So much of how siblings relate to one another starts with what they see at home. As parents, the way we communicate, resolve conflict, and show love sets the tone for the bonds our children build, not just with each other but with others for the rest of their lives. Staying mindful of that allows us to pass down a strong foundation for successful relationships that can last a lifetime. Craig and I loved talking about this with @dwyanewade and @gabunion—watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.

📚✨ "You can’t be it if you can’t see it."As @ChiPubSchools students head back to the classroom, we’re gearing up for another year of the Future Series, a program where we bring inspirational leaders face-to-face with students to spark big career dreams.The program started when Mrs. Obama visited Hyde Park Career Academy and now connects students with trailblazers from all walks of life—like Chicago Bears President Kevin Warren, Grammy-winning artist Megan Thee Stallion, and leaders shaping industries across the country.Now, the conversations go beyond the classroom. From touring O’Hare Airport to visiting EXPO Chicago, students are seeing what’s possible—and believing in what’s next.For Rayshawn Blackman, a student who attended Future Series events throughout high school, those moments were life-changing: “If I’m in the room with someone of that caliber, I can be a person of that caliber.”Here’s to a new school year, new conversations, and new futures. 💡

Defeating self-doubt isn’t a burden you have to face alone. As @craigmalrob wisely says, surrounding yourself with a team you believe in — and one that believes in you — can help you move forward with confidence. Thank you, @progressive #OpenTheHouse

Nothing like a community of strong women (and supportive men like @craigmalrob!) coming together to celebrate IMO’s live event at @mvaaff!

As @LoganUry says, let’s stop focusing on meet-cutes. Instead, let’s focus on putting yourself out there. She joins us this week on @imopodcasts to talk about dating in today’s world. I loved this conversation. It’s real. It’s insightful. And it’s just what anyone searching for the right partner should probably hear. Watch now on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.

One of the biggest pieces of advice for young people is that you can’t live your life afraid of trying new things or making new friends. Sometimes, you have to live outside your comfort zone. Trust us, it’s worth it. Thank you @indeedworks #indeedpartner

It’s time to address @craigmalrob’s glaring blind spot in critical knowledge. Thank you to @mattrogerstho and @fayedunaway for helping educate my brother on the importance of the Real Housewives. Watch the latest episode of @imopodcasts on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.

Let’s follow @victoriamonet’s lead — it’s ok to hope and plan for the best. There will always be doubters, no matter what path you choose, so you might as well do something that brings you joy. @chase #ChaseHomeLending #ChasePartner
