The spotlight shines on Darren Stein, Writer and Director, as we discuss the cult following of his classic film “Jawbreaker” and the meaning and message of his film “GBF” among his other projects.

Please join us as we talk about how Darren began as a filmmaker, what it is like to “come out” to one’s family and to others, public displays of affection, issues in the LGBT community that are issues affecting all humans, and what drives him as a powerful individual in the film industry.

Listen in and come along on his journey from his childhood to becoming a respected, revered, talented and recognized force in film.

Today the spotlight is on my very Special Guest, Dr. Richard Allen Williams, incoming President of the National Medical Association.

He is, incidentally, also my Father, and I’m extremely proud of that! We will be discussing extreme Healthcare Disparities in America, and their root causes.

We will also discuss with Dr. Williams what it was like to be the very first Black cardiology fellow ever at Harvard University, and what it was like for him to overcome so much, coming from a background that did not have many of the advantages that some of us easily take for granted.

He is truly an empowering and prolific Renaissance Man. Join us for an especially empowering and touching show today!

This week the spotlight is on Erica Spiegelman, CADAC-II, Addiction and Wellness Specialist, California State Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor, and Author of Rewired: A Bold New Approach to Addiction & Recovery, which debuted as Amazon’s number ONE new release among drug and alcohol addiction books in 2015.

We will be discussing authenticity, honesty, alcoholism awareness, and ways to acknowledge our own personal power to return from the edge. Erica will discuss the essential tools and approaches that help to create a personalized treatment plan with a more holistic approach.

Personal anecdotes from Erica’s own struggles will be discussed, as well as other behaviors that can be used in conjunction with or instead of 12-step programs. As Erica says in Rewired, addicts are not broken people that need to be fixed — they just have a few crossed wires.
