UPDATE: I'll be running LOTS of extra podcasts for you in the upcoming weeks, because human connection and entertainment are as vital as ever. Subscribe to both the podcast + my YouTube channel, starting now.

Comedian, actress and motivational speaker Kim Coles is famous for the comedy sketch show In Living Color and the TV series Living Single. She played Synclaire James, remember?

Kim and I first met a few months ago, when we were both invited to sit on a panel about women in media at the Digital Hollywood conference. When we met, I knew instantly I liked her and wanted to get to know her better, so I invited her on the show.

Fast forward a few months. Kim comes to New York and we record this episode -- at Sardi's, the iconic Broadway restaurant. (Shoutout to Sardi's and my friend Beth.)

Kim and I talk about:

Bill Cosby stories (but not the kind you're expecting)
Self-doubt
Projecting
Becoming a comedian
Hollywood
Expectations
Coincidences and synchronicities and opportunitites
Style
In Living Color
Living Single
Friends
Self-empowerment
Therapy (I do a little therapyish thing.)

Previous Episode

Cesar Millan

UPDATE: I'm running LOTS of extra podcasts for you now because human connection and entertainment are as vital as ever. Subscribe to both the podcast + my YouTube channel.

Today's podcast:

In a surprisingly candid and in-depth interview, Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan shares his incredible story of coming to the US from Mexico when he was young, had no money and didn't speak a word of English.

He opens up about his family, his dreams and his struggles.

It's a Really Famous classic.

You'll hear how Cesar:

honed his skills and understanding of dogs
became a celebrity dog walker
launched a television career
lost his money
got married and later divorced
raised two sons
hit the lowest point in his life
found inspiration again
and became the most famous dog trainer and dog guru on the planet.

But wait, there's more!

Listen to the Cesar Millan BONUS episode here.

EXTRAS!
