On this week's Let It Rip Friday, we're talking with Sean and Michelle Kanan.
Today’s guests are Emmy-winning actor Sean Kanan, known for Cobra Kai and The Bold and the Beautiful, and his Emmy-winning wife, producer, writer, and director, Michele Kanan. Together, they’ve released their highly anticipated new book, Way of the COBRA Couples, the third in Sean’s Way of the COBRA self-motivation series.
This time, Sean is teaming up with Michele to offer a fresh, dynamic perspective on relationships. Way of the COBRA Couples blends their personal insights, strategies, and experiences to share how they've built a thriving partnership—both as individuals and as a couple. Unlike Sean’s solo books, this installment presents a dual voice, offering practical tools and heartfelt wisdom for couples at any stage of their relationship.
With a unique approach that mixes humor and Karate metaphors, the book guides readers through the stages of building a strong partnership, from communication to trust. Sean and Michele share their own story—a Hollywood power couple who turned chaos into success—and reveal the mindset and battle-tested strategies that helped them thrive, even in tough times. As Michele puts it, “This isn’t just another relationship book; it’s your roadmap to love, laughter, and growth."
Whether you're married, dating, or seeking the right partner, Way of the COBRA Couples is all about embracing your wild origin story, growing together, and having fun along the way. Sean and Michele are here to show you how to master the art of love—one belt at a time.

Welcome to another episode of The Sisterhood of Sweat! I'm so excited to have the talented actor Nambi Nylumbi join us today. Nambi is best known for his roles on shows like Night Court, The Good Fight, and Mike & Molly. But his journey to success is truly inspiring. Nambi shared an amazing story about how a simple act of kindness - a stranger giving him $20 on the street - ended up changing the trajectory of his career. That $20 got him to an important audition, which led to booking his breakout role on Mike & Molly. And the rest, as they say, is history. Nambi has such a positive and grateful outlook on life. He's proof that with hard work, talent, and a little bit of luck, you can achieve your dreams. I know our listeners are going to be uplifted and motivated by his story. So without further ado, let's dive into my conversation with the one and only Nyambi Nyambi!

But what really drew me to this project is the film's themes of faith, family, and perseverance - values that are so important to me and the Sisterhood community. I'm excited to learn more about Andrew's creative process and why he felt this story needed to be told. Let's get started!

· "I was really interested in this idea of a kid alone in the woods, barefoot, because I related to my own childhood experiences."
· "I always told the crew when we're making this movie, this is ultimately a movie about a boy who just wants a hug from his dad."
· "This film is about when you're up against the odds. What do you pull from? And sometimes you pull from your love of family.
· You pull from your own inner fortitude, whatever. But oftentimes you need something higher than yourself, and that can be your faith, that can be God, that can be whatever it is that you cling on to."
· I'm a long distance runner. I do like, 50 Ks, and I've done 100k yet. But I, you know, I run 10 miles at least once a week, so I have the endurance already built up on me."
