You know the name. You DEFINITELY know the pizza. But there's a whole lot more to Jane Grote than the Donatos empire. 🍕

This week on The Keri Croft Show, I'm sitting down with Jane Grote, Executive Chair of Donatos Pizza, for a conversation that goes WAY beyond the family business.

We're getting into what it was really like growing up in a successful family business (spoiler: no trust fund lifestyle here), becoming a single mom at 22, navigating divorce, struggling with infertility, and learning how to build a career, a family, and an identity of her own.

We also talk about her incredible work with the Reeb Center, the importance of women supporting women, financial independence, and what it looks like to redefine your life and priorities as you get older.

And because you know how we do things around here, we also take a few unexpected detours into dating, Botox, skincare, working out, and the surprisingly passionate conversation we had about Donatos ranch dressing. 😂

What I loved most about Jane is that despite everything she's accomplished, she's incredibly down-to-earth, funny, generous, and genuinely passionate about people. You can feel how much she loves her family, her community, and the company she's helped build.
This conversation is equal parts business, badassery, vulnerability, and a whole lot of laughs.

Jane Grote is the REAL DEAL, and I think you're going to love getting to know the woman behind the pizza.

Action cures anxiety. Three words I come back to whenever I'm overwhelmed, second-guessing myself, or staring at the ceiling at 3 a.m. wondering what the hell I've gotten myself into.

In this solo episode of The Keri Croft Show, I'm catching you up on everything happening behind the scenes. No guest, no script, just me unpacking what it looks like to build something you believe in while navigating the self-doubt, growing pains, and inevitable chaos that come with it.

We're talking about the lessons from our second BYLD IRL event (including my realization that I cannot keep doing everything myself), what we're building with BYLD, and why I believe female founders need more than another networking group.

I'm also breaking down mental athleticism, the system I've developed for turning audacious visions into daily execution, and introducing MNTL, my new eight-week experience launching in January. Plus, a look inside ManEater Media and how we're helping founders amplify their voices and businesses.

And before we wrap, I'm leaving you with a little tough love about anxiety, overthinking, and the one thing that actually moves you forward: ACTION.

Why do so many women know so little about their own anatomy?

Dr. Nina Deep is an internist, aesthetics physician, and one of my favorite kinds of people: someone who discovers something that makes absolutely no sense… and then refuses to stop asking questions.

After decades of practicing medicine, Nina went down a rabbit hole that completely changed the way she understood the female body, sexual health, and the clitoris — including the fact that most of the clitoris is internal, the penis and clitoris develop from the same embryologic structures, and the vagina is not actually the primary female sexual organ.

Yeah. I was today years old too.

We get into why so many women believe they should orgasm from vaginal penetration alone, why women’s sexual pleasure has historically been wrapped in shame, and how even medical education has failed to properly teach female anatomy.

Nina also shares how her own experience with vaginal rejuvenation unexpectedly changed far more than physical sensation. It changed the way she showed up in intimacy, helped her become more present and communicative, and ultimately made her recognize how deeply shame can affect confidence far beyond the bedroom.

We talk about:

• The anatomy of the clitoris — and how much of it you’ve probably never seen
• Why calling everything “the vagina” is anatomically wrong
• The myth of the vaginal-only orgasm
• The massive double standard around male vs. female sexual health
• Why the clitoris is still missing from some sex-ed conversations
• Women feeling “broken” when their bodies are functioning completely normally
• Medical procedures that can affect sexual function
• How shame gets passed down culturally and generationally
• Nina’s mission to get women — and doctors — talking about all of it

This episode is educational, hilarious, mildly unhinged, and genuinely mind-blowing.
