Redefining Success: Saying It Out Loud
Measured Differently: Real Life Said Out Loud begins with an honest, grounding conversation that sets the tone for what’s to come. In this introductory episode, Dr. Sheila Ray Montgomery sits down with her best friend, Rachel, to ask a question many of us inherit—but few of us stop to challenge: What does success really mean? Together, they unpack how society defines success, who gets left out of that definition, and why it takes real bravery to change course when the old version no longer fits. Rachel reminds us that “our society has deemed success in a way that not all of us fit into,” that “it’s brave to change,” and that we must learn to “value people who do the real work.” This conversation isn’t about polished achievements or perfect timelines—it’s about honesty, courage, and redefining success on human terms. This episode launches a 36-part interview series featuring 12 men, 12 women, and 12 strangers from across the United States—real people with real stories—each answering the same question: How do you define success, and how do you maintain it? This isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about saying it out loud.
