A proposito di questo titolo

Welcome to Getting Under The Skin (GUTS)! Where the stories of our lives can be medicine for each other. Where reflection and curiosity opens up paths of conversation for us to explore together.


Join us for an exploration through conversation. This is an expedition, a journey in search of the stuff that makes us feel most human, the stuff that stirs your soul and reminds you of what really matters. These conversations are not performative interviews, book release tours or productivity hacks. They are an antidote to superficial small talk or marketing in disguise. We explore how people are formed by the lives they’ve lived, and celebrate the wisdom gained along the way.


Hosted by Topaz Adizes, Emmy Award-winning writer, director, and experience design architect exploring the transformative power of human connection. He is the founder and executive director of THE SKIN DEEP, creator of {THE AND} and author of 12QFL.


If you're ready to Get Under The Skin — we’ll meet you here.

    What does it mean to stop proving yourself and start living with purpose, identity, and faith?

  • What to Do With What You Have with Susan Asiyanbi

    What to Do With What You Have with Susan Asiyanbi
    Mar 30 2026

    What does it really mean to show up for others and why do we struggle to do it consistently?


    In this episode of GUTS, host Topaz Adizes sits down with Susan Asiyanbi, a leader working at the intersection of relationships, culture, and organizational change. Susan reflects on how her parents’ values shaped her understanding of service, community, and the belief that every day offers a chance to try again.


    Through stories of grief, friendship, and personal evolution, Susan challenges the idea that we are “good friends” by default. She explores the gap between how we see ourselves and how we actually show up, the tension between independence and community, and why relationships require more honesty than we’re comfortable with. From navigating loss to redefining what it means to give without expectation, this conversation exposes the complexity of connection.


    Together, they explore:

    • Why we’re not always the friends we think we are

    • The difference between giving freely and giving with expectation

    • How grief shifts perspective and what actually matters

    • Why asking for help is uncomfortable but necessary

    • The tension between independence and needing a village

    • What it means to be complete but not resolved
