This next show is special to me because I met Dr. Sonya Reddy at the height of the pandemic. She came on my show some four years ago, and I saw brilliance.

There's something about the American diet. Can we all agree that the stuff they put in our food is just not supposed to be there? My wife and I took a beautiful trip to France last year.

As you just saw in that show open, I spent 25 years in TV news. Many of those years were spent being the lead story person for Channel 4 and various other TV stations. Unfortunately, there's a saying in TV news, "If it bleeds, it leads," and so many of those stories were heartbreaking for me to tell. It took a toll, and I finally ended up leaving t…

There's an old saying that there are two very important dates in a person's life: the day they were born and the day they find out why they were born. Searching for purpose is a big thing. Many Gen Zers are waking up in their 20s, and they call it a quarter-life crisis. It used to be that you would be in your 40s before you had a midlife crisis. Th…
