Harley Malarkey Podcast: Old Dog New Tricks
On The Harley Malarkey Podcast: Old Dog, New Tricks, Brian Malarkey and Danielle Harley blend Gen X grit and Millennial mindfulness to explore the messy, magical world of modern relationships.
Each week, they tackle a new topic with raw honesty, humor, and an open heart—everything from age-gap relationships and sobriety to plastic surgery, parenting, and self-acceptance. Nothing is off-limits, and every conversation is infused with laughter, curiosity, and the kind of insight that only comes from living, loving, and learning—sometimes the hard way.
Malarkey is a celebrated chef, restaurateur, entrepreneur, and Food Network personality known for his larger-than-life energy and passion for bringing people together through unforgettable dining experiences. Harley is a thoughtful and dynamic businesswoman with what she lovingly calls a "minor in spirituality"—having studied Reiki, nutrition, psychology, and yoga as part of her own deep healing journey.
Together, they invite listeners into their world—not as experts, but as two people committed to understanding themselves, each other, and what it truly means to build a meaningful relationship. At its core, this podcast is about connection: learning to laugh more, judge less, and connect more deeply with yourself and the people you love.

Chefs Life: End of an Era
You may have seen the news on social media, but Brian has made the difficult decision to shut down Chefs Life.
In this episode, we cover it all: how Chefs Life started in Brian’s kitchen during Covid, why the brand meant so much to him, and what ultimately made it unsustainable in today’s marketplace. We talk honestly about razor-thin margins, rising costs, and how hard it is to build and maintain a product with real integrity.
We also explore what it takes for a brand to succeed right now, the compromises many companies make, and why so many products look good on the outside but lack substance.
If you’re interested in entrepreneurship and building with values, this is an episode for you.
