  • Sergey Young Is The Only One Pioneering To Extend The Lives Of One Billion People

    What if you had an amazing life, an enviable career, a beautiful family, the respect and admiration of your colleagues, and most importantly, your health?

    Sergey Young, author, economy & finance expert, and founder of the $100 million Longevity Vision Fund, went to his doctor for his annual checkup and got some disturbing news, news that would require a daily life-long, medication regimen.

    But what would you do if you found that not only could you avoid taking medication by making some simple changes, but you could actually extend your life by 10 to 20 years? Would you make these changes and enjoy the benefits all on your own? Or would you create a fund whose goal was to extend the lives of one BILLION people?

  • SUNDAY EDITION: Kerri Robertson Is The Only Health Coach In The Room Fighting Diet Culture

    Weight stigma is something we touched on in earlier episodes like with Randy Jackson who talked about his journey with Gastric Bypass surgery, or Athena Dixon who talked about shrinking to make herself appear smaller. But our society's diet culture, this obsession with thinness and the resulting eating disorders and body dysmorphia isn’t something we’ve ever really explored - until now.

    Today’s guest, Kerri Robertson calls herself the anti-diet culture health coach. Kerri is a Certified Wellness Practitioner and her true passion is to empower the confidence of women and help fulfill their desire to transform into healthier versions of themselves.

  • Robert Ri’chard Is The Only One Who Loves Your Potential More Than You Do

    Can you picture being on the quest for the perfect woman, a woman at your level who loves and understands her own potential? Now can you picture being a kid, too young still to get your driver’s license but already knowing what you want in your mate?

    Robert Ri’chard, Emmy award-winning actor/producer, chef, and spokesperson was cared for and prepared for life by his grandfather and father. Men, who taught him that romance isn’t all about looks, that you must also connect with women on a cerebral level.

    But what would you do if the only women you connected with that way were the mothers of the women you’d fallen for? Would you continue to court beautiful women and seek out their mothers for those meaningful conversations? Or would you decide to look for that one woman who was the whole package?

  • RE-RLEASE: SUNDAY EDITION: Patti Linsky Is The Only Cantor In Rehab

    Season seven was our most downloaded season EVER! Thank you all so much for listening and sharing. Please enjoy this fan-favorite from season six, while Laura and Scott continue to record brand-new episodes for season eight of The Only One In The Room.

    To mark the occasion of our one-year anniversary this past April, we asked YOU, our listeners, to submit your fabulous Only One stories with the objective of having that winner come on the show and share their story. We thought we might get four or five submissions, and had no idea how many of you would submit your stories for consideration. Can I just say that we were completely blown away by the response?! So blown away in fact, that we’ve decided to make this the start of a new series for us, called The Only One In The Room, Sunday Edition. But today, we are over the moon to bring you our winner! The story that took our collective breath away. As soon as Scott and I read Patti’s story we looked at each other, because there was no doubt that author, performer, public speaker and Cantor, Patti Linsky was our contest winner.

  • RE-RELEASE: Geoffrey Owens Is The Only Celebrity Who Was Job-Shamed For Working At Trader Joes

    During our season break, we wanted to share with you one of the more inspirational interviews from season four. We love this episode where actor/director, Geoffrey Owens breaks down his meteoric rise to fame as an actor on The Cosby Show, and his subsequent decision to work at Trader Joe's to support his family. This is one fan-favorite you will listen to over and over again.

    Picture being an unknown actor in New York City and then a chance encounter between your mother and casting agent results in you being selected for a role on the biggest television show in the history of Nielsen ratings. A move which catapults you from being an anonymous member of a theater group to someone who can no longer go to the grocery store without being mobbed.

    When Geoffrey Owens, actor, director, producer, was cast on The Cosby Show at age 24, it seemed to the the world that he would live the rest of his life in the luxurious celebrity style that we all knew and coveted.

    But what if one day, after the fame and money ran low, you had to take a day job, one that would help pay the bills and allow you to continue to pursue the craft you really loved: Theater. Would you bag groceries at Trader Joes, and risk being job shamed? Or would you let debt pile up and let go of the theater life you loved so much, wishing you could go back to being anonymous again?
