Episode 5 of the New Year’s Eve Lollapalooza is a masterclass in what happens when high-performing people slow down long enough to tell the truth.
Jay Doran and co-host Mike “Mike Drop” Calhoun bring together a loaded room: Matt McHale, Chase Gallagher, Rob Wishnick, Bill Reiman, Bill Mervin, Jim Sabellico, and Stephen Ronald—a group with real history, real scars, and real momentum heading into 2026.
The conversation starts the way the best ones do: quick intros, long relationships, and a reminder that nobody’s here by accident. Then it turns into something deeper—words for the year, what those words cost, and what they unlock.

Then Jay shifts the whole room with a question:
What’s the biggest lesson you learned in 2025—one sentence only?
What follows is a rapid-fire set of truths about discipline, presence, leadership, and letting the past stop weighing you down. The episode closes with a call to connection—because proximity, tribe, and authenticity aren’t just “nice ideas”… they’re the framework.
If you’re walking into 2026 trying to become more aligned, more grounded, and more intentional—this one will hit.
