Okay... The White Lotus... 63 awards and over 80 nominations don't come easy, but having a top-notch team, from showrunners and writers to producers and crew, sure does help.

Mark Kamine is an executive producer for The White Lotus, as well as 21 Bridges, American Hustle, and many of my favorites. He was gracious enough to spend some time with me, explaining the very misunderstood role of the 'executive producer' from the comfort of his home in NYC

Very rarely have I met someone who is both a music artist and also has a second career in an entirely different industry. Today, however, I had the chance to speak with Bryan Ruby, a country music artist who also plays professional baseball!

One of the striking things about my conversation with Bryan is how candid he is about his life and dreams in the music industry. Judging from his rich baritone voice and country roots, he is well on his way. So, let's put our hands together and welcome Bryan Ruby!
