In a surprisingly candid and in-depth interview, Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan shares his incredible story of coming to the US from Mexico when he was young, had no money and didn't speak a word of English.

He opens up about his family, his dreams and his struggles.

You'll hear how he:

• honed his skills and understanding of dogs
• became a celebrity dog walker
• launched a television career
• lost his money
• got married and later divorced
• raised two sons
• hit the lowest point in his life
• found inspiration again
• and became the most famous dog trainer and dog guru on the planet.

But wait, there's more!

Celebrity interview by Kara Mayer Robinson.

Music - Take a Chance by Kevin MacLeod - incompetech - Creative Commons

It's NYPD Blue's Sylvia Sipowicz! Yes, the woman whose provocative scenes were a major part of this groundbreaking, iconic TV series.

But wait! Sharon has also been a constant presence on television since then, in shows like:

• Shameless
• How to Get Away with Murder
• The Ranch
• Me, Myself and I
• Queen Sugar
• Rizzoli & Isles
• Drop Dead Diva
• One Tree Hill
• Monk
• Desperate Housewives
• Ladies Man
• Fired Up
• and now! Dynasty. Yes, Dynasty. It's a new, updated version and you can see her on the October 26 episode on the CW.

You'll hear Sharon, who's also on the board of the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, reflect on:

• provocative TV
• landing her famous gigs
• moving from small-town to big-city life
• her husband, parents, in-laws and friends
• life, love and acting
• fax machines, ticker tape and "the breakdown"

Enjoy!

BIG THANKS to Carson Beck for recording this episode at his stellar soundBOX Studio City.

Celebrity interview by Kara Mayer Robinson.

Music - Take a Chance by Kevin MacLeod - incompetech - Creative Commons

Better Call Saul star Patrick Fabian and I get into the groove!

Patrick, of course, plays sharply-dressed and sharp-thinking Howard Hamlin of the law firm Hamlin, Hamlin and McGill.

He's also been in 137 TV shows and movies! Like Scandal, Grey's Anatomy, Castle, Beverly Hills 90210, Desperate Housewives, Will and Grace and more.

You'll hear:

• What people do to Patrick at airports 
• How becoming a dad moved him
• Why turning 40 shifted his perspective
• What makes the hair on his arms stand up
• Why he's like Kevin Bacon, in my opinion
• Why he loves the entertainment industry
• Being a working actor in Hollywood
• Getting nervous
• His approach to social media
• A Better Call Saul analysis
• Whether Howard is likable or a jerk

After this, you'll feel like you know Patrick. And you'll feel good about it.
