Podcast host Kurt Powers (of the Powers Project Podcast) talks openly about coming out after a marriage with children. Brave, honest and heartfelt . . . Kurt answered my many questions about this major life shift and what his family and friends thought when he finally admitted he 'was born this way.' I was honored to have this raw conversation with someone I know consider a friend. Check out Kurt's podcast for other superb conversation: The Powers Project Podcast

Lue Deck - the world-famous comedy store legend . . . in red shoes.

Lisa David Olson has two decades of writing and performing comedy experience, as well as speaking on how humor saved her life. Be the nosy neighbor and listen in as she interviews people she barely knows, (or hasn't yet met) to hear about their weird life stories or quirky careers. There's a lady who says she can communicate with your dog, a man who used to be a zen monk, and even a guy from Russia who gave himself up for adoption at age 9.Expect a few laughs sprinkled in as guests are invited to share a prank or embarrassing moment too. When your host is a bold and curious beast - anything goes. This podcast is an offshoot of Lisa's project in bravery, called Serious Selfies With Strangers; where a dare for a non-smiling photo with someone she had not yet met always created a moment of laughter, and often forged the way to new friendships that would never have been.Books available; Laughs On Wry; an improvisor's memoir and What If's and Why Nots; a journal full of creative cues to unravel stuck moments.
