Diane Dieterich followed her heart right to a greener pasture - literally - that's the name of her farm rescue. Greener Pastures is a 2023 top-rated great non-profit award winner and they're featured on Redfin's Bucket List as a must-see in San Luis Obispo, California, so they got a lot of good going on and a lot of good to share. Their good includes Dinkey, who back in 2019 became a social media sensation as the pig who lost twenty-plus pounds and inspired others around him to do the same. And that's what Diane - and this farm rescue - is all about: inspiration, motivation and uplifting others to make good happen in as many selfless ways as possible. Can I get an oink-men? (Sorry, it's the best I can do on limited caffeine intake today).

Geri Jewell meets Carol Burnett in this good bonus. If you don't believe in visual and creative manifestation, you may just change your mind after hearing this story. If you can see it, you can make it happen. Anything is possible.

Geri Jewell is a comedian, actor and author who just happens to have cerebral palsy. When she crossed paths with legendary TV producer Norman Lear, her life changed forever and so did ours. Her portrayal of Cousin Geri on The Facts of Life was a ratings bonanza. She's gone on to many other projects but stand up comedy has always been her happy place. Her new book, Geri's Jewels & Gems spotlights the many columns she has written over the years and proves there is no stopping any of us when we set our mind to something we are passionate about. We talk about her first time on stage at just 18 months old all the way to her final meeting with Lear at his home where Dustin Hoffman just also happened to show up - only in Hollywood. Geri is the definition of inspiration. And she's also a damn good hilarious time.

Will Keck spent his early career chasing scandals and digging up dirt. Now he's put all those stories into his own memoir, When You Step Upon A Star: Cringeworthy Confessions of a Tabloid Bad Boy. But this isn't some gossip-ridden, tattle-tale, tell all. It's the story of one man trying to find himself in all the wrong Hollywood places. Will joins us to share his love of television, specifically shows like The Brady Bunch, Eight Is Enough, The Six Million Dollar Man and more that all served as surrogate members of the family he longed to have, how some of the biggest stars he idolized and then had to demonize have forgiven him, and most importantly, how through it all he found himself and his place in the world. We also talk about why society finds itself so drawn to celebrities, how all that glitters isn't necessarily gold, and the importance of stepping outside our own secret identities. From the Ewings of Dallas to the Carringtons of Dynasty, with a pitstop in Walnut Grove, this episode guarantees a nostalgic good time.

Wendy Miller loves cats and cards, games and fun. That last word is the most important one. She's someone who follows her fun and it's taken her to many hilarious places including Cat Con. We talk about the secret to happiness, how expectations will get you every time, and why your dumbest idea might just be your best idea. If you're hiding your secret passion it's time to let your freak flag fly (or in this case, your kitty litter fly). Prepare to be inspired by someone who is not just meowing the meow, she's walking the cat walk (OK, I'll stop with the cat puns). And finally, Wendy was also in a Morris the Cat commercial as a child and if that doesn't make you listen to this episode, I don't know what will.
