Suzanne Somers died on October 15th, one day before her 77th birthday. Suzanne died of breast cancer with metastasis to the brain. I had the pleasure of interviewing Suzanne not once but twice. How I got so lucky through this job, through this podcast, to interview a living legend like Suzanne is beyond me. Trust me, the opportunity, the experience has never been, and is not, lost on me. Suzanne was a Trailblazer, an Icon, an Actress, Comedic Gold, an Entrepreneur, and Fearless. You do realize that if ABC tried to fire her today for demanding the equal pay of her male co-stars, she would own ABC? Something we talked about. Everyone's been slipping into my DMs because most of you know that I've interviewed her twice, asking if I am going to do something special to honor her. On that note, I am sharing the first of those initial chats in its original form, with no edits. Of course, we mention it all - Three’s Company, Step By Step, the Thighmaster, her appearance on RHOBH, and much, much more. This is not an interview that should be overlooked. Time changes so fast, and life is so precious. Tomorrow is not guaranteed.This was such a special experience for me. Suzanne will never know how much she touched my life through this chat.
