CHARLESTON, SC, September 16, 2026 (EZ Newswire) — Host, media personality and content creator Ryan Albert, known to national audiences from Bravo’s “Southern Charm” (Season 10), has announced the launch of his new podcast, “You’re the Shift,” a conversation series about the real-life moments that lead people to change their lives, their direction, and sometimes, who they are. New episodes of “You’re the Shift” will launch weekly beginning on September 16, 2026, running through November 18, on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
At a time when conversations about success and reinvention often feel overly polished, the show focuses on something more personal: the turning points that actually force people to grow, and what happens after. Each episode features candid conversations with public figures, founders, athletes, and cultural voices about the decisions, risks, and unexpected moments that changed the course of their lives.
“Everyone talks about change like it’s something big and dramatic,” said Ryan Albert. “But most of the time, it’s a series of smaller, quieter decisions that slowly shift everything.”
For the inaugural episode, Ryan will sit down with Preston Konrad, who is currently in production for the second season of his show, “That Thrifting Show.”
With a conversational, unforced interview style, Ryan creates space for guests to open up about topics that are often discussed privately but rarely shared publicly, including identity, relationships, career changes, faith, family, and the process of becoming who you want to be. The result is a show that resonates with listeners navigating their own transitions, whether in career, relationships, or personal identity, and looking for stories that feel honest and relatable.
Season one brings together a mix of familiar television personalities, musicians, and deeply personal stories of transformation, all centered on the moments that change everything.
A core group of episodes features an exciting lineup of confirmed guests, including Carson Kressley, Patricia Altschul, Kalee Rogers, Bradley Carter, and Nayeema Raza. These conversations explore identity, relationships, and personal growth behind the public eye. Arturo Castro joins the lineup too, right as his new movie, “Matchbox: The Movie,” premieres in October.
Across all episodes, “You’re the Shift” focuses on the human side of change, the moments that don’t always happen in public, but shape everything that follows.
Ryan explains, “’You’re the Shift’ is about the quiet moments that change people’s lives, the decisions, conversations, and realizations that lead to growth even when they don’t feel significant at the time. We’re exploring identity, reinvention, relationships, ambition, and the experience of becoming someone new.”
