In this episode, Cassidy tells a story about the "inventor" of Wi-Fi. Hedy Lamarr was not what you would picture as the studious inventor that she was...instead a beautiful actress who almost left her dream of inventing all behind. After years of acting, she would eventually co-invent an early version of frequency-hopping spectrum communication, which was originally intended to help the military. Fun fact: She lived closer to us Floridians than you'd expect later in life! Listen in to hear the full story of an inventor at heart, and actress in the public eye.

Gabrielle Union is such an open person about her life experiences - and we could all use a lesson in life from her. We all know her from the hit film ‘Bring It On’ (a 2000’s classic), but she didn’t start out wanting to pursue acting at all. Listen up to hear all about her experiences with her career, dating life and some tough times, and some real (not so good) accents from yours truly.
