There are people who live in Austin, people who build things in Austin, and then there are people whose fingerprints seem to be all over the city. James Moody is one of those people. The creative director, entrepreneur, co-founder of Guerilla Suit and owner of Mohawk has had a hand in everything from Fun Fun Fun Fest and ACL Live to Uptown Sports Club, The Albert Hotel, Pearl Beer, Rambler, The Standard Austin and, of course, Hot Luck Festival. James joins Told Y’all to talk about how a curious mind unlocked a world of experiences for a growing city — and how that curiosity continues to shape what he builds next. We get into Hot Luck, Mohawk, fatherhood, the business of “cool,” building things people actually care about, and what makes something feel authentically Austin.

Host Kelly Krause sits down with award-winning chef, community builder, and advocate Fiore Tedesco for a conversation about food, hospitality, and the many ways we learn to connect with one another. As L’Oca d’Oro celebrates 10 years in Austin, Fiore reflects on the unlikely path that brought him here, from growing up deaf in an Italian family in upstate New York and playing drums in a punk band to building a career in some of New York and Austin’s most celebrated kitchens. They talk about why Fiore believes a restaurant should serve more than food, his work helping launch Good Work Austin to support and advocate for the hospitality industry, and why he’s often among the first to show up when his community needs help. Fiore also opens up about a recently discovered side of himself that’s unlocking a whole new understanding of how he communicates, connects, and experiences the world around him. This is Told Y’all — where founders, creatives, and culture-shapers say the quiet part out loud. Socials: @tedescofiore @locadoroaustin @kelly.krause @toldyallpod Music by Harvest Thieves.

Host Kelly Krause sits down with Yoga With Adriene founder Adriene Mishler for a conversation about the power of intention, and what it means to build a global community without losing the human connection at its center. With more than 3 million YouTube subscribers and a worldwide community built around her invitation to “Find What Feels Good,” Adriene has changed the way millions of people experience yoga. She reflects on the difference between connecting with people through a screen and sharing space in person, how her background in theater shaped the way she teaches and communicates, and why presence has always mattered more to her than performance. They also explore the intention behind Adriene’s newest chapter: VETA, her clothing brand years in the making. From resisting the pressure to launch something simply because she could, to thoughtfully creating something that felt true to her values, Adriene shares why timing, purpose, and trusting your own instincts matter, whether you’re building a class, a community, a brand, or a life.

Host Kelly Krause sits down with Austin City Limits executive producer Terry Lickona, who has been at the helm of the iconic series since 1978, for a conversation about the enduring power of great music—and the rare magic of building something that never loses its soul. For nearly five decades, Terry has helped shape the longest-running music series in television history, introducing audiences to legendary artists and tomorrow's stars alike. He reflects on the show's remarkable history, why its format has remained intentionally timeless, how ACL has touched generations of music fans, and what makes an ACL Live taping one of the most coveted milestones in an artist's career. They also explore the art of spotting talent before the rest of the world catches up and why human curation still matters in an algorithm-driven age.

Host Kelly Krause sits down with legendary barbecue duo Aaron Franklin and Stacy Franklin for a conversation that goes far beyond brisket. From hosting backyard barbecues to building Franklin Barbecue into a global destination, Aaron shares the craft behind the barbecue while Stacy shares the strategy behind the business. Together, they talk about leading as a couple, why they've never chased hundreds of locations, the fiercely loyal community they've built, and what it takes to protect something once it becomes bigger than you ever imagined.

Host Kelly Krause sits down with Dr. Shannon Ritchey, founder of Evlo Fitness, for a conversation about the fitness lies we've been sold and what actually works. From the myth that more workouts equal more results to the belief that we can earn or burn our meals through exercise, Shannon breaks down the science behind strength training, muscle building, recovery, and sustainable fitness. She shares why "gentle consistency" has become her guiding philosophy and how she's helping women rethink everything they've been taught about exercise. Whether you're a lifelong fitness enthusiast or someone who's tired of starting over every Monday, this conversation will challenge the way you think about movement, health, and what it really means to get stronger.

Host Kelly Krause sits down with Jamie-Lynn Sigler for a conversation that goes far beyond nostalgia. From The Sopranos to her memoir "And So It Is," Jamie reflects on growing up in public, navigating life with multiple sclerosis, and why she refuses to let one part of her story define her. They talk podcasting, motherhood, creative evolution, her role on Grey's Anatomy, and what she’s learned from years of having honest conversations — whether with Robert Iler, Christina Applegate, or herself.
