Only One In The Room

What if music was your passion, but after a while, you thought it might be time to give up your dream and focus on steady work, the kind that put food on the table?

Singer, musician, and podcaster, Marty Ray of The Marty Ray Project, went to a concert one day and had an only one in the room experience that you really have to hear in order to believe

But what would you do if that experience was just the beginning of a series of events that led you further and further away from that “steady work” to which you had resigned yourself? Would you decide it was time to stop dreaming and ignore the calling you heard? Or would you use your music to build a kingdom one soul at a time, and share your gift with the world?

Imagine you were smart, I mean rocket-scientist smart, MIT smart, and you became a nuclear engineer, while earning a PH.D. in urban planning, but you also felt a calling to become a minister.

Arkansas native, Dr. Chris Jones, the son of two preachers and father to three daughters, felt called to serve the people of Arkansas, the place where he and his family had lived for the past 200 years.

So what would you do if you had this amazing life as a private citizen, but your faith was calling you to give a voice to the people who have been ignored for generations? Would you and your wife stay where you were so as not to uproot your family? Or would you together decide that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few and run for Governor of the state that you called home?

What if you’d experienced a childhood event so traumatic that it took you twenty five years to even remember that it happened?

When author Laura Davis was twenty eight years old, she remembered that she ‘d been molested by her maternal grandfather.

But what would you do if when you finally worked up the courage to tell your mother, she betrayed your trust? Would you cut her out of your life forever, never speaking to her again? Or would you find a way to forgive her and take care of her during her final years?

How many people can say that they grew up on studio lots and learned one of Hollywood’s best-kept secrets from their mother? We’re truly excited to bring this conversation with Hollywood/literary legend, Jill Schary Robinson.

Jill Schary Robinson was born in Los Angeles, the daughter of two artists. Her father was Oscar and Tony winner Dore Schary, head of MGM during the ‘40s and ‘50s, the only writer to ever run a film studio. Her mother, the painter M. Svet, studied at the Art Students League in New York. During the ‘60s, she wrote on revolutionary women’s issues for Cosmopolitan and covered political trials for the Soho Weekly News. Her first memoir, With a Cast of Thousands, was a runaway hit. During the late fifties and sixties, she also interviewed political and film personalities on KPFK and had a talk show on KLAC. Jill was given a lifetime grant in 2005 to develop the non-profit Wimpole Street Writers program, which continues in London and Los Angeles, where she has run workshops for the Veteran’s Administration, working with Veteran’s with PTSD, encouraging them to release the stories they fear to tell. She also hosts workshops twice a week for all writers including playwrights and screenwriters. The only rule, “No pages, no dinner.”

Imagine, growing up without running water outside of Philadelphia and then, as an adult, finding yourself managing the careers of such Hollywood luminaries as Martin Sheen, Mark Wahlburg and Pierce Brosnan. And being on speaking terms with US Presidents, everyone from Ronald Reagan to Barack Obama.

Dolores Robinson, Executive producer, talent manager, reality TV star and mother of season two guest, Holly Robinson Peete, took her two kids and moved to Los Angeles three decades ago, and made a name for herself as one of the most prolific managers in the biz.

But what if one day, just after your 71st birthday, you got a diagnosis that other people might consider to be the beginning of the end? Would you start planning for your inevitable demise? Or would you kick those gloomy notions to the curb and decide to live your best life ever?
