• The Power Of Motivation - Craig Ramsay
    Jun 18 2020

    There will always be times in our lives when we need to reinvent ourselves and motivation becomes the key factor to allow yourself to become a better self and many of you always write to me asking for workouts, about fitness, to have a healthier life... And i couldn't be more excited about my guest on this episode.

    I sit down with my dear friend Craig Ramsay, who I admire a lot for his passion and vision to create and to step it up to be better. I feel inspired and motivated since we met, and we talked about gay stereotypes, body shaming, the transparency of your insecurities and the honesty to transform yourself... and how you can actually have fun in this process, switch things up and adapted what you are doing to your own style or personality.

    Craig Ramsay’s approach to wellness is one of the most unique and effective ways of promoting health, movement, and self care, Colin Farrell called him genius and Sharon Osbourne said he is brilliant. Craig is listed as one of People Magazine’s top fitness experts. 

    Craig's first foray into television was Bravo's "Thintervention" and then again as the stand out gay couple on Bravo's international hit show "Newlyweds The First Year". He has also had a successful career on Broadway and has appeared on sitcoms such as "2 Broke Girls", soap operas, plays and feature films.

  • Together - The Broadway Husbands
    Jun 15 2020
    Relationships, one of the hardest things in life... and if we make them gay, I think it's even harder! The truth is that most of the events in our lives and the outcomes we achieve in relationships, occur on a loop. aka. we’ll get the same results, over and over and over till we decide to change. Growing up, I never saw gay couples or famous gay marriages that can lead to "an example" of what to do or how to do it beyond the hetero normative. Social Media change that approach and now give us an inside scoop to to so many people living their true self. In this episode I sit down with Bret Shuford and Stephen Hanna, actors and performers on and off stage that enjoy connecting with their followers on social media as they chronicle their lives - the good, the bad and everything in between and they are also, great people that I love to talk to always. Let yourself go on them.

  • Ladies With An Attitude - Jillian Mercado
    Jun 12 2020

    "Ladies with an attitude..." is what Madonna preaches in "Vogue", an anthem for having the attitude to conquer the world. Attitude is also a choice so for this episode I sit down with the incredible Jillian Mercado to talk about labels, what makes her special and how she becomes a role model.

    Jillian Mercado is an actress and American fashion model. As a wheelchair user (due to muscular dystrophy), she is one of the few professional models who has a physical disability in the fashion industry, working for brands like Diesel, The Blonds and...Beyoncé.

    A prominent figure in the new wave of models challenging beauty ideals in the fashion industry, Mercado is keen to fight the lack of representation of people with disabilities in the fashion industry and their enduring stigma. She's also part of the cast of "The L Word: Generation Q".

  • Music, Makes The People Come Together - Fab The Duo
    Jun 12 2020

    In this episode, I had the great opportunity to talk about music. Music is life. I woke up everyday listening empowering songs and I'm all the time building playlist that becomes the soundtrack of my life and in the words of Madonna: "Music, makes the people come together".

    So I sit down to break down queer music and influences with Fab The Duo, a gay pop/rock duo that energetically delivers an open-minded message, challenging the status quo of today's cultural scene composed of boyfriends, Greg Driscoll and Brendan Eprile. We talked about queer artists like Vincint, relationships, racism in the LGBTQ community and how we can break stereotypes and become something bigger than life on the queer music representation.

    They have released “No Prince Charming,” their latest song and video and they have an amazing upcoming EP: "Our Love Is Resistance" available on June 19, 2020 on all streaming platforms.

  • The Act of Showing Up - Jase Cannon
    May 25 2020
    I’m at currently at the edge of what my mind and body knows, the edge of grief, the edge of acceptance, surrender and realizing how I can show up better in life. As Rumi says, “The wound is the place the light enters you.” This week I invite you to join me into this episode with my very special guest: Jase Cannon. I sit down to talk with her about the process of showing up for yourself and for others, how our struggles and traumas can lead to become the fuel to reborn into something new. Jase was born Jason, and came out as a woman in the summer of 2015 during a karma yoga retreat at the Sivananda Ashram. Through producing short documentaries about her work and speaking publicly at events, on television, and publishing multimedia accounts of her journey, Jase has cast a wide net in the worlds of wellness, philanthropy, gender studies to bring these elements together and create a powerful platform for ever greater self-expression for all. I can't be more grateful to connect with her.

    An apartment circuit party in New York City sparked online outrage a couple of weeks ago after videos emerged on social media in which about 30 guests were seen dancing, drinking, and violating social distancing guidelines without masks during a pandemic. I sit down with my dear good friend, journalist and writer Evan Ross Katz and Chris Weaver, a past contestant on The Voice also known by his drag persona Nedra Belle who was in the party and was tag in multiple videos that went viral. "The Meth Gala" or "Rona Rave" was a perfect opportunity to have a conversation about what happened, the people involved like Ian Frost or Dj Alec Brian after controversial statements and how we can learn from it as a gay men and as a community.

  • I Love Me - Jake DuPree
    May 12 2020
    "I wonder when I love me is enough" There is so much fear, uncertainty and distress that makes compassion and connection so much more difficult. After a couple of weeks trying to put myself together, I had a "Carrie Bradshaw moment"...and I couldn't help to wonder: What if we claimed our voice and used it regardless of anyone else’s ability to show up. What if we showed up for ourselves first? What if we love ourselves first? So for this episode my friend Jake DuPree, dancer, choreographer, fitness instructor and burlesque entertainer is sharing his brave story to find himself being queer and how to break the rules when it comes to be true to who you are no matter the label or what anyone else can say.
