In today's episode I got to hang out with a good friend from college, Michael Gmur. Michael is a US Marine Corp. Veteran and actor living in Texas who was kind enough to stop by and hang out with me on the show. Michael shares his journey from a small town with a horse drawn mailing system to the Marine Corp., down to Cal State Northridge, and now in Texas as a working actor. Identity and not letting go of your power were strong themes throughout the conversation and I already cannot wait to have him back on, because we did not even get to talk about his Forest Gump-esque adventure across the USA. Sit back and relax yall!

In today's episode I got to hang out with singer songwriter Tom D'Agustino. I discovered Tom thanks to my girlfriend Stephanie who shared this Tik Tok video Tom made. I was not sure if she was showing me an artist just to share, but I had to reach out and get them on the show! Tom's music had me feeling! As an artist he is titillating  and as a conversationalist he is delightful. He shared his serendipitous journey into music and his journey into theology! Sit back and relax yall!

In today's episode a good friend of mine and of the show returns to hang out, Gabriela Sofia Torres. We talk about actors who can't read (allegedly) and are kind of mean (seriously) as well as geek out about some Glee. That may be completely me but thankfully Gabriela is used to this by now so no need to fret. She also got to answer the new set of questions I've lined up for recurring guests (a workshop if you will). Sit back and enjoy the show!

In today's episode I got a chance to hang out with an old friend from college, Grace Yoo. Grace is currently performing on Broadway in the hit musical Hadestown. This may be the most we talk about her current role in Hadestown because we got so caught up in the story of her journey. From being bribed by her mom to perform in the Wizard of Oz to performing on Broadway, we needed more than an hour to tell this story. Enjoy this small glimpse into the life of a Korean American actress who dared to ask, "Why not me?"

In today's episode I go a chance to hang out and catch up with an old friend from Paris, from my days as a young boy of the revolution (don't worry it was a musical), Steve Rizzo. Steve has been a stuntman in Hollywood for 30 years and has been in some of your favorite TV shows and films, but because he's so good at what he does you'd never know it was him. Oh! And big news!
