Episode #4
The Splice Girls Talk Authenticity with NFL and NBA Veteran Paul Epstein
In this episode, The Splice Girls sit down with Paul Epstein , 15-year NFL and NBA executive, bestselling author, leadership speaker, and founder of WIN MONDAY®, for a candid conversation about what happens when we stop trying to perfectly balance every part of our lives—and start building greater harmony between who we are, how we lead, and what matters most. Paul shares the personal turning point that forced him to confront the gap between his professional identity and his authentic self, and the lessons that followed. From leadership transparency and decision-making to values, habits, and the trade-offs we all make, this conversation challenges the idea that success requires becoming a different version of yourself at work. Together, we explore why authenticity matters in leadership, how greater transparency can build trust, and how small, intentional actions can create meaningful momentum. Paul also introduces the philosophy behind Winning Monday —a weekly practice designed to turn values into habits and start the week with purpose. Whether you’re an emerging leader, managing a team, navigating competing priorities, or simply trying to build a life and career that feel more like you , this episode offers a practical reminder: the goal isn’t perfect balance. It’s creating alignment between the person you are and the way you choose to show up. Tune in for an honest conversation about leadership, authenticity, intentional choices, and how one meaningful Monday can change everything that follows.
