If you've ever seen the ad for Toujeo, I dare you to tell me that you don't get up and dance. Set to one of the greatest songs of all time Let's Groove Tonight, actor Karlos Klaumannsmoller draws you in. His character is adorable and absolutely engaging, and watching him dance through work, life and play makes me smile with pure joy.

In this episode Karlos shares the reasons that he became an actor (think Hamlet), shares the truth about how negative social media posts really hurt, and reminds us that sometimes the opportunities we least expect can give us the greatest gifts.

Search him by "Karlos Klaumannsmoller" and you won't be disappointed. And if you want a reason to smile today, what the Toujeo ad. I hope I never need the product, but their choice of actor makes me love the company even more.

Susan Beard has photographed some of the most elite historical figures of our times, such as Colin Powell, Steven Spielberg, President Bill Clinton, Tony Blair and more, and almost went on a date with Prince Andrew. That story alone is worth the listen and the laughter in this episode.

Founding her studio in 1990 she has evolved her business and brand to include several niche businesses like Regal Beagle (ergo the photo shown here as well as a throwback reference to Three's Company), Wax Works Photos, Sea La Vie and more.

Susan and her invaluable business partner and mentee Erika Schoof, these ladies run a serious business while having a great deal of fun.

I apologize in advance for the peals of uncontrolled laughter. Their stories will touch your heart, make you laugh, and will make sure you never look at your own dog, cat or emu the same, ever again.

Nancie Hsing reached out to me to offer me a free sample of Rodan & Fields face care products. I was pretty impressed with her moxie, and who doesn't like free stuff? That turned into some interesting conversations about skin care, business and the desire to provide life-changing skincare.

Nancie is an independent consultant with Rodan & Fields, and I suppose I am now too, if for nothing more than having a skin-care regime that I love and actually follow! The other fun is how funny I look for 2 minutes twice a day when I follow through with the cleanser/mask.

Since I am one of those people striving to combat not only aging but the wear and tear of travel that shows all to readily on my face, I take my skin-care pretty seriously. Plagued by breakouts in my teens and 20's I was a raving fan of Proactiv, and if you are familiar with that product, you will enjoy the direct tie from those creators to this line which extends far beyond blemishes.

Nancie has an infectious personality and her love of the products and company shines through. She even let me coach her on how to talk less and listen more, which left us with quite a few laughs through this episode.

You don't have to be interested in the product or company, or even the business model, in order to appreciate her commitment to her customers. They are the reason she does what she does, and there are lessons here for us all.

My talk with Lauren Zalut, Director of Education and Tour Programs in Cell Block 12 at historic Eastern State Penitentiary is something I will never forget. Taping in an empty cell block, still showing the remnants of former inmates and the contents of their cells, tells a story that echoes in your soul just as the sound of taping on site echoed with the empty halls.

Eastern State Penitentiary was once the most famous and expensive prison in the world, but stands today in ruin, a haunting world of crumbling cellblocks and empty guard towers. Known for its grand architecture and strict discipline, this was the world's first true "penitentiary," a prison designed to inspire penitence, or true regret, in the hearts of prisoners. Its vaulted, sky-lit cells once held many of America's most notorious criminals, including bank robber "Slick Willie" Sutton and Al Capone.

When Eastern State opened more than 180 years ago, it changed the world. Known for its grand architecture and strict discipline, this was the world’s first true “penitentiary,” a prison designed to inspire penitence, or true regret, in the hearts of prisoners. The building itself was an architectural wonder; it had running water and central heat before the White House and attracted visitors from around the globe.

Eastern State Penitentiary’s innovative preservation, interpretation, and public programs will move visitors to engage in dialogue and deepen the national conversation about criminal justice.
