Liza Pano and her team are responsible for taking a filmmaker’s vision and translating it into different languages around the world. It’s a massive undertaking that requires nothing short of amazing teamwork and precise global communication.

Did you know the difference between dubbing and subtitling a movie? I certainly didn’t.

Did you know that big stars like Tom Cruise have different voice actors playing their voice in different countries to sound exactly like them, voice actors that Mr. Cruise himself personally approves?

This episode is one of the most insightful to date. Among other topics, Liza talks about working on Titanic and how close the global blockbuster came to almost never seeing the light of day; the genius of Walt Disney and her time at the studio; as well as working closely with stars like Ben Stiller to deliver the perfect movie trailer. Enjoy.

“Real Housewives” executive producers, Douglas Ross and Alex Baskin, join me on this episode for a fast track walk through the world of reality television.

Breaking into the entertainment industry is always a fascinating story, and I took great interest listening to Alex Baskin’s adventures as an 18-year-old intern at MTV, where he set up his very first pilot. Just goes to show the opportunities that are present at every stage of your career—even as an intern. You just have to know how to hustle.

Not only did Alex setup his first project as an intern, he also learned valuable lessons from having a failed pilot, lessons that he carries with him to this day. He also met future producing partner, Douglas Ross, with whom he would go on to executive produce the mega hit “Real Housewives” franchise.

Another eye-opener in this episode is the sense of entitlement Douglas Ross is encountering in today’s 20-somethings, and how it’s affecting their effectiveness and advancement in the workplace. Douglas is a highly-respected veteran of the entertainment industry, and I encourage all my 20-something listeners to take advantage of the wisdom both he and Alex Ross share in this episode!

Sabrina Richmond has forged a two-decade career as one of Hollywood’s most powerful and sought after financial experts, all the while keeping a massive personal secret from family, friends, and the entertainment industry. You see, Sabrina Richmond started out as...

David Robinson...

As the first openly transgender woman I’ve ever met, I was — among other things — struck by the role fate has played in her life. That and faith — faith in God, and in herself.

It’s a fascinating, and frankly, deeply moving story, that winds us through 80s glam rock L.A. all the way to the upper echelons of modern day A-list Hollywood. I hope Sabrina’s story will serve as an inspiration not only to those who may be struggling with their own transgender or sexual identity issues, but to anyone looking to find their place in this world.
