April 07, 2020 RE-RELEASE Kim Russell Is The Only One Who Kept Her Promise
Imagine being an actress, dating celebrity after celebrity and then (predictably) finding the love of your life on a film set, getting married and having three beautiful babies and then feeling that your life is completely complete.
Actress and producer, Kimberly Russell and her husband, Michael Bonewitz, made the decision together to put her acting career on hold while she raised their three children. But a chance encounter with a stranger, a mom at her kid’s school, threw them all an unexpected curveball: her dying wish was to have Kim and Michael take her five children after she died and raise them as their own.
What would you do if you were faced with a question that would change your life and those of an entire family that isn’t your own? Would you do the unimaginable and take on an act of kindness that would be worthy of sainthood? Or would you look for a more reasonable solution in order to protect the family that you had worked so hard to curate.

March 31, 2020 RE-RELEASE Amy Bond Is The Only Sex Worker Turned Attorney
Once upon a time, there was a girl who grew up in the Mormon church, moved to Los Angeles to become an actor and ended up working in the sex industry.
Amy Bond, author, proud owner of San Francisco and Oakland Pole Dance studios and pro-bono family and immigration attorney, found herself working in porn after moving to Los Angeles at age 19. But after being “saved” from a severe downward spiral, Amy found herself enrolling in law school and then making a name for herself in Silicon Valley as an attorney.
What would you do if you found yourself working alongside tech giants, allotting yourself a new found identity, one that allowed you to bury your sex-working past. Would you continue to lean into the Silicon Valley lifestyle and enjoy your newfound reputation as a baller? Or would you abandon your lucrative legal specialty repping start-ups and choose instead to rep actual human beings, ones who are unable to represent themselves?

March 24, 2020 RE-RELEASE John Feldmann Is The Only Sober Guy In The Music Industry
What would it be like to be THAT kid? You know the one who refused to dress like other students, the one who had piercings and worshipped punk rock and was always so loaded throughout high school that everyone wondered how they even graduated?
John Feldmann, award-winning music producer, writer, mixer and acclaimed-band-Goldfinger-frontman, was a musically gifted punk rocker who grew up in the Santa Cruz mountains of California. But even as a teenager, John's inability to stay sober for more than a few months at a time threatened his relationship with his family, his music and eventually, even threatened his life.
But what if when you turned twenty-one, the magical age while everyone else is celebrating taking their first legal drink, you make the decision to take your last one...ever? Would you follow your dream of making a living in an industry known for its decadent lifestyle? Or would you abandon your ambitions and choose a safer path, one with less risk of being led into temptation?

March 17, 2020 Mike Hill Is The Only One Who Was Afraid To Fall In Love Episode 40
Statistically, the chances of success for men who grow up poor and are raised by single mothers are pretty low. Those who do “make it out” are envied, celebrated and are thought to make excellent husband material. Mike Hill, sportscaster, television personality, author, actor and entrepreneur, married young, and then got married and divorced a second time, before he was forced to admit to himself that he had never really been in love. But what would you do if one day you met someone...and this person was beautiful, successful and incredible. And even though everything in you warned you against following your heart one more time, you had a strong feeling that this one was different. Would you get down on one knee and put a ring on it? Or would you decide that you just weren’t the marrying kind and walk away from the woman who’d stolen your heart?

March 10, 2020 Geoffrey Owens Is The Only Celebrity Who Was Job-Shamed For Working At Trader Joes
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?

March 03, 2020 Jeff Kober Is The Only Cuckold In The Room Episode 38
What would you do if you had a life that others envied? A successful acting career, a beautiful home, a rich spiritual life, successful wife and community of family and friends who loved you. Jeff Kober, Vedic meditation teacher, actor, author and photographer, knew that he had everything he thought he wanted and yet, something wasn’t quite right. But what if one day, on a spiritual quest in India, you had a chance to ask a Goddess to remove everything from your life that was no longer serving you? Would you ask, and risk losing the life that you’d worked so hard to build? Or would you pass, and hold on to the things you loved at all costs?
