Join us at our favorite booth in Canter's Deli, where the aroma of tradition fills the air and stories are as rich as the pastrami. To kick off the podcast, the incomparable Henry Winkler graces us with his presence, sharing his journey from playing The Fonz on Happy Days to becoming a beloved children's author, and the wisdom he's picked up along the way. With a career that could've taken a detour into child psychology, Henry has lived a life as colorful as the beet borscht he's about to savor. Listen in as we laugh, learn, and indulge in the quintessential deli experience, with a side of Henry's endearing anecdotes.
