EP53 – Life, Death, and the Moments that Matter

In this special episode, Samantha and I discuss the passing of my mom, Carmen. She has been living with us over the past two years, and Sam has been her full-time caretaker as she battled with Parkinson’s Disease and Dementia toward the end. She passed on September 2nd, and we wanted to talk about our journey through the process. We dedicate this episode to her – we love you mom!

EP44 – The Healing Power of Art

In this episode, my amazing wife and partner Samantha joins me as we discuss the opening of our new play, Birds of North America by Anna Ouyang Moench, at Theater On The Edge. Sam discusses her journey back into the arts after her battle with cancer, and how her creativity is beginning to heal her and bring meaning back to her life. It’s an incredible and emotional episode that you won’t want to miss!

EP43 – The Food Conundrum

In this episode, Natalie, Jared and I talk about how food is such a big factor in our lives – and how it can be controlling and unhealthy if we don’t understand nutrition and how to control our hunger desires. It’s a fun conversation with many interesting points – hope you enjoy!

EP33 – Investing in Yourself in 2025

Happy New Year! We are back with our first episode of 2025, and in this episode we discuss why taking the first step is the hardest thing to do, but the most important. We also reflect on the devastating fires in LA as we send our supporting thoughts to our friends and family (and everyone affected) out there.

EP28 – Post Hoc Nunc Quid

In this episode (After This, Now What?), we discuss the mixed bag of feelings coming off of the 2024 US general election. So many people ask, “what now?” As an artist, and a human being, it’s important to focus on the world around us, and to bring positivity to the things you can control. It’s a difficult time right now and we wanted to do our best to address that. Hope you enjoy!

EP25 – Balancing Life with Your Art

In this episode, we are joined by one of the founding members and Executive Producer of Theater On The Edge, Allan Whitehead. Allan discusses with us how he manages to balance his busy life (as a successful attorney) with his art, and how he is able to keep them all functioning at once. Hope you enjoy!
