Although you may know Ian Somerhalder as Damon Salvatore from Vampire Diaries or Boone from Lost, he’s actually embarking on his most passionate endeavors to date as an environmentalist and humanitarian. He executive produced the environmental documentary KISS THE GROUND, which landed on Netflix in September 2020, and focuses on raising awareness and education on the positive impacts of regenerative farming for climate change. And just this weekend, he launched Brothers Bond, a bourbon company, with Vampire Diaries co-star Paul Wesley as an ode to their bourbon drinking days on the show. The company did a pre-sale which shattered records and a portion of the proceeds will go toward regenerative farming practices and combating climate change. In this episode, Ian tells us all about his new chapter, why he needs everyone to watch Kiss The Ground, and how he started a business with purpose and passion.

After having chronic tonsillitis her whole life and a series of health scares that couldn’t be helped through traditional antibiotics, Carly discovered bee propolis, a compound produced by bees and known for its healing abilities, that completely healed her overnight.

They’re loved by celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Lily Collins, are sold in Targets and Whole Foods nationwide, and Carly’s landed a spot on the Forbes 30 under 30 list. In this episode, Carly gives us Hive 101 and takes us through all the beneficial compounds found in the hive (no, we’re not just talking about honey!), how she turned how passion for beekeeping into a company, and how you can play a role in saving the bees.

If you’ve been on social media in the past year, chances are you’ve been sent a Jordan Firstman skit. From banana bread’s publicist, to the guy who thinks life isn’t that much different in quarantine, to the management team behind the fly that infamously tormented Mike Pence, Jordan’s skits made our cringiest clichés into something we could all laugh at together (and single-handedly got us through quarantine). But behind the Instagram fame, Jordan’s a triple threat. He’s an actor, writer, and producer who’s worked on shows like Search Party and Big Mouth. He’s also written and starred in his own short called Call Your Father. When it comes to Hollywood, Jordan’s just getting started. In this episode, Jordan talks to us about the road to becoming a multi-hyphenate in entertainment, the cost that comes with viral fame, and how he’s ready for a second act that takes him off our phone screens and onto the silver screen.

She’s modeled in campaigns for Yeezy, Fenty, and Gucci. But at just 15-years-old, it was her cover of Drake’s Marvin’s Room that went viral and skyrocketed her music career. In 2019, she landed a record deal with Field Trip Records, a label founded by Zack Bia and James Canton in Los Angeles, where she released her hit debut songs “Ghosts” and “Strangers,” two songs that spoke candidly about her experiences with substance abuse, rehab, and loneliness. Mallory’s new music feels different yet relatable, and now at 20-years-old, she’s finally hit her stride. In this episode, Mallory and I talk about what it was like growing up in New York, from her experience as a young fencer to modeling for Rihanna.

Hilary Sheinbaum is a writer who’s contributed to publications like The New York Times, Marie Claire, New York Magazine, Forbes, and more. This week, she released her first book, The Dry Challenge: How to Loose The Booze for Dry January, Sober October, and Any Other Alcohol-Free Month, an exploration of the incredible life-changing benefits of abstaining from alcohol for one month. In 2017, Hilary and a friend waged a bet: whoever could complete Dry January would win a free dinner to any restaurant of their choice in New York City. Hilary won, and not only did she feel completely different, but she was instantly inspired to spread the word about her experience. The book, which acts more like a guidebook, provides a comprehensive plan to help you tackle Dry January, Sober October, and other booze-free challenges. Whether you’re thinking of participating in Dry January, Sober October, or want to choose a time of your own, this book walks you step-by-step through one drink-free month, from making a plan to sharing the news with friends and family (and what to do when someone tries to sabotage it) to getting back on track if you slip up and have a drink (or two). In this episode, Hilary tells us about the physical, emotional, and financial impacts of taking a month off of alcohol, what we can expect from her first book, and how this year’s Dry January will be different than any before.

She’s the founder and creator of Nyakio Beauty, an award-winning skincare brand that paid homage to her beauty secrets learned as a child while visiting her grandmother and watching her use coffee beans to exfoliate her skin. In 2016, she sold the brand to Unilever and it’s now exclusively sold at Target with cult-favorite SKUs like their Cleansing Oil Balm and Rescue Oil. Today, she’s using her two decades worth of expertise in the beauty industry to launch a much needed business aimed at building a more inclusive beauty industry. Earlier this month, she co-launched Thirteen Lune, an e-commerce destination designed to inspire the discovery of beauty brands created by Black and Brown founders that resonate with people of all colors. The website sells products made for all people by BIPOC-owned brands, features a through fully curated selection of products made specifically for Black and Brown people, and emphasizes ally brands that have made a measurable effort to create an inclusive product lineup. Launched with thirteen brands, an editorial platform, and a long list of allies, also known as their “Vanguard,” Thirteen Lune's mission is to reframe how Black and Brown beauty brands are perceived not only from an industry perspective, but also for the consumer, giving each brand a platform to sell, educate, and engage with wider audience like never before. In this episode, Nyakio tells us about her experience building a beauty business pre-social media, a behind-the-scenes look at creating Thirteen Lune, and how everyone can take part in pushing their message of inclusivity forward.

What do actress Sarah Ramos (Parenthood, The Affair) and writer/comedian Caroline Goldfarb (The Late Late Show with James Corden, Alone Together) have in common? They’re hysterical, devoted pop culture enthusiasts, best friends, and recently launched a podcast series called THE RENNER FILES. THE RENNER FILES, created, hosted and produced by the duo, is a new kind of true crime podcast - one that’s not a true crime at all. Instead, it’s about Jeremy Renner’s app. Why did Oscar nominated actor Jeremy Renner ever have an app? Why did he do it? Who made it? Who used it? And why did it shake the internet to its core? They set out to investigate the mystery of the app, but got so much more in return. THE RENNER FILES lays out a thrilling timeline of the app’s rise and fall through talking head interviews with key players, journalists, and unexpected Renner experts (like actor Seth Rogen). But it also tells a larger story: one about the dangerous side of celebrity fandom, the ethics of audience exploitation, the celebrity influencer complex, and the destructive power of ironic internet comedy. In this episode, we talked about their fan-filled childhoods, from Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen cruises to NSYNC concerts, to navigating the entertainment industry, and a behind the scenes look at what went into creating one of the mosts provocative podcasts out there right now. Starting September 24th, an episode of THE RENNER FILES will be released weekly on Thursdays for six weeks.

Dr. Kouroush Maddahi is a leading dentist in Beverly Hills and a best selling author of his latest book, The Toxic Overload: The Truth About Your Body’s Natural Defenses and How to Experience Whole-Body Health. He is one of the most well-known dentists today and has been practicing for over 33 years, creating smiles and improving the overall health of his clients through dentistry. But his passion and mission is driven around informing his patients about the connection between our oral health and our microbiome - the genetic material of all the microbes - bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses - that live on and inside the human body. In a time where sanitizers are our lifeline, he’s arguing the opposite through his first-ever non toxic, organically-derived line of oral products, Luminuex. In this episode, Dr. Maddahi, joined by Lumineux’s Chief Brand Officer Caroline Duggan, tells us where we’re going wrong with caring for our teeth, the lifelong consequences we could deal with, and the quick fixes that we can make to our routine right now that will ensure a healthier life. https://oralessentials.com/ Produced by Dear MediaLet’s Get DressedYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperezInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperezLiv Perez Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperezTikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perezShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

Cristin Milioti has seen it all in Hollywood. She’s a musician, singer/songwriter, musician, and actress who got her start on Broadway in 2011, where she played the lead in Once, a breakout role that garnered her a Tony Award nomination and won her a Grammy.

Get to know my new favorite band: The Aces. Comprised of sisters Alisa and Cristal Ramirez, Katie Henderson, and McKenna Petty, The Aces grew up in Provo, Utah where they started the band in their early teens in Katie’s garage. After one of their moms cold-called a recording agent by finding his number on Google, they signed with Red Bull Records where they released their debut album When My Heart Felt Volcanic in 2018, and later joined 5 Seconds of Summer for their Meet You There Tour. They’ve also gone on their own North American headlining tour, where they performed on Seth Meyer's Late Night Show and SXSW. This May, they announced the release of their second studio album, Under My Influence, which dropped Friday July 17th. In this episode, The Aces and I talk about what it was like to grow up in one of the most conservative Mormon towns in the United States, our everlasting love for Haley Williams, how they’ve set out to re-define the idea of the girl band, and why this new album is a step in a more honest and real direction for the band.

Ezinma is a classically-trained violinist, composer, and model, who’s captured the hearts of thousands through her genre-bending covers that have gone viral. Known on Instagram as “Classical Bae,” Ezinma’s sound combines her classical background with the beat of today’s greatest hits, and can often be found sharing her sound on the streets of New York or with her electric violin in a nightclub.
