Steven Tobolowsky: Reflecting On Life Aug 05, 2020

Show notes

Stephen Tobolowsky is a master storyteller. He has been in hundreds of movies, plays on Broadway, and is constantly appearing on network television shows. However, I wanted to talk to him about his podcast, "The Tobolowsky Files," which to be fair, is more of story time narrative than traditional interview podcast. I cannot explain how much impact and meaning I've gotten from this show. We talk in particular about these two episodes. I HIGHLY recommend you listen to them all, but especially these episodes: https://tobolowskyfiles.com/episodes/the-tobolowsky-files-ep-60-another-second-chance https://tobolowskyfiles.com/episodes/the-tobolowsky-files-ep-22-the-dangerous-animals-club From his website: "Stephen Tobolowsky is one of the leading character actors in film today. USA Today listed Stephen as the 9th most frequently seen actor in movies; he has appeared over 200 movies and television shows."

Soledad O'Brien: Challenging Conversations Jul 29, 2020

Show notes

I'm a big fan of Soledad O'Brien, mostly because she is willing to have the conversations. This episode is proof of that- she questioned and clarified several points, and (my favorite part) wanted to have a conversation around viewpoints. I especially loved the "political correct" and comedy part of the episode. *This is a re-release from 3 years ago. Thus some of the news references are a dated.

Derrick Richardson: Solidarity with Black Businesses & The Road Ahead Jun 10, 2020

Show notes

Derrick Richardson is the owner of the D-R Barber Salon. Unfortunately his shop was vandalized and due to the COVID-19 shut down, he had lost his insurance. I would HIGHLY encourage you to consider supporting his GoFundMe at: https://www.gofundme.com/f/the-d-r-barber-salon Derek and I wanted to share this conversation because conversations are so important. Our focus on this show is normally around innovation and entrepreneurship, and I have to admit there is still a lot that I don't understand and need to learn more. I've been encouraged to interview more minority owned business owners. Lastly, Derek wanted to shed some light on the importance of community, understanding, and why barber shops ARE an essential business.
