Author, host, and “manny” Naveed Mardi is being called “ the modern-day Mr.
Rogers,” and we interview Naveed on our show today to find out why he’s so popular
with kids and adults.
Naveed joins us to talk about his latest book, “Alien Pizza,” which takes us on a fun
adventure with aliens, pets, and pizza, all with a subtle message for kids - when one
door closes, another opens.
Naveed has worked in fitness, been a host, actor, athlete, and now works as an
in-demand “manny” for some of Hollywood’s most discerning clients. All of these
eclectic experiences have given Naveed lots to build on, and let’s just say “Alien
Pizza” is the beginning of what could be a budding career working with kids and
modern media.
Please join us for our interview today, where Naveed also has lots of tips for parents,
too, in addition to sharing his personal story of triumph. You’ll find our show on all
video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE, and please invite your friends, too.

When celebrating #ItalianHeritageMonth, I enjoy highlighting the rich cultural heritage and history of the Italian and Italian American people, particularly art, music, literature, architecture, and of course the stories surrounding them. Today we interview Mariana Gatto, creator of the Italian American Museum of Los Angeles, located near Olivera St. in DTLA, housed inside the oldest remaining structure in the area, built in 1908. It’s a treasure, complete with an original speak easy door from the prohibition days. The #IAMLA is a gem, packed with stories of the Italian American journey to this country, complete with in depth stories and research into each exhibit. There are revolving exhibits, such as the one about women’s needlework from the Italian diaspora, called, Woven Lives. Next month, the Pinocchio exhibit, A Real Boy: The Story of Pinocchio, which is sure to be a hit, as this story has been told to generations and still enthralls young and old. There’s a new interactive app, too, featuring some of your favorite Italians telling their stories. Mariana talks anout her vision, how she created this gem of a museum, we talk about her life growing up Italian in Los Angeles, and so much more. Please join us on #DeborahKobyltLIVE and #LittleItalyPodcast on all video and audio platforms, and invite your friends, Italian or not. This story is for everyone.

“This isn’t a job. Hospitality is a vocation,” says #NickRimedio, GM of the trendy #LaPeerHotel in #BeverlyHills, and soon, Nick will join the #WHollywood. We spoke with Nick on #DeborahKobyltLIVE and our #LittleItalyPodcast, and he told what what’s helped him become a success: his NONNA (and of course hard work!) Nick credits his #Italian #grandma with giving him the discipline and confidence to do anything in life, and we talk about some of the non-traditional routes he’s taken to get to where he is today, and it started in the kitchen. Join us for our conversation with Nick, LIVE on all of our video and audio platforms, and invite your friends, too. Sometimes, the path to success isn’t an Ivy business school, but it’s the schooling we get from our families that give us the edge. #DeborahZaraKobylt
Please welcome Patricia Gallagher, the founder of The Happy Flower Day Project, and this is an interview that is sure to brighten your day.
Patricia is called “The Flower Lady” in her community, and it all started with an act of kindness by delivering day-old flowers to seniors in her area. The the idea has since blossomed into something much bigger. She shares ideas for expressing generosity,
appreciation, and kindness in a world often bogged down in negative thinking. Just one flower can change all of that. And how she started this is even more incredible, including the people who help her do it.
Patricia is the founder of three national kindness projects: The Happy Flower Day Project, delivering day-old bouquets to senior communities; The Stories for Seniors Project, which gives 11,000 new and gently-used stuffed animals to nursing home residents, cancer patients, and people in recovery
houses; The Send a Team of Angels to Help Movement, providing angel pins to our United States Armed Forces, hospitals, hospices, and more. And it all started with an idea, which has caught the attention of The Today Show, Oprah, CNN, and now #DeborahKobyltLIVE.
Please join us on all video and audio platforms, and invite your friends to join, too. We could all use a little inspiration. #DeborahZaraKobylt
Please welcome to our show, Catherine Shainberg, author, “The Kabbalah of Light,” a spiritual guide on using ancient practices to ultimately free us from feeling “stuck.”
Catherine talks about how to release past traumas and ancestral patterns that hold us back in life. We discuss freeing our imagination to enhance creativity and bring back joy into our lives.
You don’t have to be someone who practices Kabbalah, just be open to learning the principles that have been guiding so many for centuries. Catherine shares 159 short exercises and practices to tap into our subconscious mind to receive answers to so many questions in our life. She literally teaches us to “dialogue” with our inner selves so we can find our true purpose and reason for being here. It takes practice, but she says once we learn the technique to digging deeper into our subconscious, anything is possible.
Please join us on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE, and please invite your friends to join in on this discussion. #DeborahZaraKobylt
The need for home-bound and disabled adults who need a meal is growing. Many are isolated and feel alone.
We recently spoke with Daryl Twerdahl, executive director of Meals on Wheels, and honestly the work that she and her team do to help literally tens of millions of people each year is astounding, and sobering.
Here’s a clip with Daryl from our show, where she talks about the types of programs available at Meals on Wheels, who is eligible (no one is turned away), and how this is often the only mean and connection these people ever see, and how a little kindness goes a very long way.
Please find our full interview with Daryl on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE, and please invite your friends, too. Thanks, Daryl, for all you do, and for being such an inspiration to us all.
