Happy Women’s History month, everyone! Whether you or a woman you love is in show business or you just love hearing the inspiring stories of women empowering women to achieve their dreams, please join Mindy, Michelle and JD as they go one-on-one with entertainment industry powerhouse, Gretchen McCourt, the co-founder and creative genius behind the much acclaimed and much needed "Women in Entertainment” organization. It’s no secret Hollywood has been far from an even playing field for women. Just look at the dismal history of female filmmakers at the Academy Awards. In its 93-year existence only one women, Kathryn Bigelow, has ever won the Oscar for directing. Its statistics like this and countless other inequities and failings of the entertainment industry to properly and fairly represent women that, in 2015 led McCourt and partner, Renee Rossi to create a non-profit dedicated to bringing together forward-thinkers from all areas of the entertainment industry to explore a variety of topics that impact women: from human rights and women’s leadership, to storytelling across platforms and empowering the next generation of women to emerge as creative powerhouses.

Today on Friendsome and Thensome "A Man's Best Friend" with Michael Fiala
“Fab & 50” - We wanted to hear both the male and female perspective on this big milestone, and see how each of the sexes process aging differently. So, we welcome two amazing guests;Laila Kaiser who just turned 50, she has never liked aging, and in fact has lied about her age for 25+ years.And then Greg Garcia, he didn’t think it was a big deal, and certainly didn’t want a big party, so COVID took care of that for him. No big gatherings. He has taken stock in health, and focusing on exercising more and eating better.
Today, we talk to the one & only Lawrence Zarian. He’s known as “The Fashion Guy” - an author, he’s a regular guest on countless talk shows “Live with Kelly and Ryan,” “The Steve Harvey Show,” “KTLA Morning Show,” “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” and he’s also a host on the Hallmark Channel’s “Home & Family." We go behind the scenes of a 2 decade long friendship to unveil some moments that might surprise you. We are all on a journey! It’s time in our midlife to look back, reflect, and embrace that journey. Yes, it may be painful, yes, it may have taken you to some very dark places, but look where you are now. You may look at someone who is super successful who started out as a sexy model, and think “oh they have it all.” Well, we dive deep into heavy topics on struggling with sexuality and sobriety. It’s a very uplifting journey in the end, as he just celebrated 15 years sober. We discuss how a very good friend could be struggling with something and you may not have any awareness of what they are going through at that time. Find out about forgiveness, and what is truly “earned happiness."
