Gavin Newsom said his administration's diaper deal with Baby2Baby — a nonprofit tied to his wife's own foundation — was competitively bid. California's own contract database says it wasn't.This week: the receipts on the $6.2 million diaper contract, Newsom's affair resurfaces, Sheng Thao crime story continues to expand, and why the Attorney General's rewritten ballot title for the voter ID initiative has people on both sides raising eyebrows. Plus a quick note on the new essay resurfacing one of Newsom's oldest City Hall scandals.Phil is joined this week by guest co-host Randy Wang (KABC Radio).Read more from Phil in his upcoming book, The Gilded State: thegildedstate.com

The CBS investigation concludes that the Baby2Baby diaper contract was officially classified by California as non-competitively bid, despite public statements suggesting otherwise. More importantly, CBS says the diaper contract exposed a much larger issue: over $1 billion in state spending authorized through special exemptions that bypass normal competitive contracting rules, raising questions about transparency, oversight, and how frequently California relies on no-bid contracting authority.

Mary Hagen knew early she wanted to build something — launching her first business at 20. Today, she's the CEO of Colossal, a company that's quietly reshaped how fundraising works. Since joining, Mary has scaled Colossal by over 1000%, helping generate more than $207 million for nonprofits like the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Baby2Baby, PAWS, and the James Beard Foundation. But the real shift is how that money gets raised. Instead of relying on a few major donors, Colossal built a model around digital competitions and community participation — turning thousands of small contributions into millions raised. In this conversation, Mary breaks down what it actually takes to grow a purpose-driven company, why she believes leadership is about showing up — not just saying the right things — and how modern fundraising is moving away from exclusivity toward something far more accessible.

She turned hustle into a $4 billion brand, Emma Grede breaks down how she built Kardashian fashion empires  Emma Grede is the founding partner behind the globally successful brands SKIMS, Good American, and Safely, all launched with the Kardashian family. She is also Chairwoman of The Fifteen Percent Pledge, is a board member at Baby2Baby, and was named one of Forbes ‘Richest Self-Made Women in America'.  She explains:  Growing up in East London, raised by a single mother, and how early hardship forged her fierce independence. Taking on a maternal role from childhood, learning to lead through responsibility, empathy, and survival. Turning rejection, dyslexia, and a lack of qualifications into fuel for building billion-dollar fashion brands. Balancing ambition and motherhood, and the personal toll of leadership, hustle, and hard decisions.

Periodically on TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'm DOING , we share a SPOTLIGHT conversation and feature brief chats with an individual from the community about a special topic or a unique endeavor. In this spotlight episode, Aki Kumar shares his journey as a blues musician, discussing the universality of blues themes, the importance of being a lifelong student of the genre, and how his Desi identity influences his music. He reflects on the emotional outlet that blues provides and the lessons learned from performing. Aki also explores the relationship between art and identity, expressing optimism for the future of music and his upcoming album. Check out his website (akikumar.com) for news and details about upcoming shows!Now there are lots of people who  love Bollywood music, and there are certainly a lot of people who love American blues music. But what happens when those two worlds meet?  And that's what set the stage for a conversation I shared with Aki Kumar, a musician and singer who for over the past decade has been trying to ensure that the intersection of these two musical genres is a space that you need to pay attention to.  Aki was born and raised in Mumbai and came to the US to study computer science - ok that part isn't without a playbook or blueprint.  But with a passion for Indian music and a deep new embrace for American blues history and local blues performances, Aki set about to express himself by blending melodies from Hindi films with blues music, garnering a buzz for his performances everywhere, many local awards along the way, and the title of “San Jose's king of Bollywood Blues”.  Now I have to tell you, that I caught one of his shows here in the Bay Area, and from experiencing Aki on stage, his singing, his killer harmonica style, and his superb band,  I could not have asked for a more entertaining way to enjoy both true Americana mixed with some soulful imaginations of Indian music.  Now for me this was all a pleasant surprise because I had made some natural assumptions about what Bollywood Blues might be, so as we   began chatting, I asked him if he also made assumptions about persona or expectations when it came to his unique brand of making music?Like many, my heart and soul go out to those who are struggling as a result of the Los Angeles wildfires.Please help contribute to the American Red Cross, Mutual Aid LA Network, various Go FundMe efforts, Save the Children, and Baby2Baby. Hoping for a safe, peaceful, and supportive recovery for everyone.

What's this? A messy love quadrangle?  You know Kelly and Ragon are all over that!  We channel our best Normal Gossip podcast inspiration and dive into our discussion of the self-sabotaging lovers of Rainbow Valley!  We ask such questions as “What's Ellen's deal anyway?”  And “Wait, do we agree with Norman Douglas?” And most importantly “Who should we cast in our movie version of this story?”   On a more serious note, if you'd like to help Kelly rebuild after losing her home in the terrible Eaton fire, we have a fundraiser to support her as she begins the overwhelming task of recovering.  And if you would like to help Los Angeles recover from the horrific wildfires, here are some places that are doing good work: World Central Kitchen is feeding people on the ground in Los Angeles. LA County Fire Department is doing heroic work and we aren't done with the fires. Pasadena Humane Society is caring for the wild animals and pets lost or injured in the fire. Baby2Baby provides disaster relief to families and children in poverty impacted by the fires. Give Directly is fundraising to provide direct cash support to those in most need after the fire for shelter, food, clothing. Inspired by: This whole episode was inspired by one of our favorite podcasts Normal Gossip. Kelly was inspired by the 1995 Persuasion adaptation and the miniseries based on Elizabeth Gaskell's  North and South. Ragon was inspired by the classic rom-com While You Were Sleeping and the time travel romance in About Time .  If you want to get a free logo sticker from us, either leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or share your love for the pod on social media!  Send us a photo of your share or review at either our email: kindredspirits.bookclub@gmail.com or on our KindredSpirits.BookClub Instagram.

Los Angeles. The city has always been a second home for me. As a kid who fell in love with Old Hollywood films, I dreamed of visiting the City of Angels. And once I did, I fell in love with such a magical place. Years later I would start working in the entrainment industry, leading me to visit LA multiple times a year for over a decade. It truly became a home away from home. I have so many friends and family living in a city that is picking up the pieces to figure out what’s next. My heart is so heavy. The fire is all I can think about. But if there is any hope I have, it’s that the community is already rallying together to collectively heal. I have a feeling we will see stories coming out, highlighting the very best of humanity. And when my friend Jennifer Love Hewitt told me about her initiative to give back to the victims of the fires, I knew I had to bring her on The Elvis Duran Show to hear how we all can join in helping. In this episode Jennifer opens up for the first time about how she has been doing since the fires hit, her new clothing collection with BFFS and BABES in which 100% of proceeds help Baby2Baby, how to continue supporting LA from afar and so much more.

When I met Keni, I knew that there was something special about her.  When I heard part of her story, and listened to how impassioned she is about certain topics, I knew there was something extraordinary about her!   Keni Silva is a multi-talented American model of Russian heritage, a TV personality, film investor, real estate professional, certified divorce coach, and philanthropist.   A red carpet darling, she has graced numerous international events, and has also received acclaimed press for her fashion style and beauty savvy in  Vanity Fair, Forbes, WWD, Vogue, Page Six, Daily Mail, InStyle, People and other notable outlets.   Keni is deeply committed to philanthropy, serving on the board of the Children's Oncology Support Fund (COSF) and supporting such charitable organizations including Baby2Baby, Second Harvest Food Bank, Visionary Women, Women Cancer Research Fund and more.   She is, quite obviously, a giver.  This requires deep compassion.   It is this compassion that has led her, in part, to write a book.  Keni is also the author of Divorce As An Opportunity, a transformative guide designed to reshape the narrative surrounding divorce, and to help empower women to emerge from self-abandonment and reclaim their goddess-ness.      Keni joins me today via Streamyard to discuss transformation, opportunity, and how, with the right mindset, when one door closes, you may open many others.

Sarah and Miranda move through their own climate change cognitive dissonance with the help of Elizabeth Doerr, author of the Cramming for the Apocalypse project. We discuss how parenting lends itself to climate action, how facing the climate reality can actually make you less anxious, and how mothers can give prepper stereotypes a much-needed makeover. Links:* Scribente Maternum* Cramming for the Apocalypse* How Do You Plan For a Future That Might Not Exist? by Liz Plank “I miss my 2015 brain, the one unburdened by the weight of relentless catastrophes, and I miss my 2015 problems, those small, manageable worries that felt so monumental at the time. But more than that, I mourn the 2025 happiness I once allowed myself to envision, a life shimmering with possibility, untouched by the shadow of all we've lost. I grieve the future I was so certain would be mine, the life I thought I was building towards. I can't pinpoint the moment it slipped through my fingers, but I know it's gone. Most of all, I ache for the version of myself who believed in that future, who had the audacity to imagine a world that was bright and brimming with promise.What we're all feeling is grief. Not the tidy, private kind, but a vast, collective mourning that binds us together. We are grieving not just the world we've lost but the futures we were promised, the ones we dared to dream of and expected to inherit.”* What If We Get It Right? by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and her Climate Action Venn Diagram* Kathryn Schulz's New Yorker article about the Cascadia Fault Earthquake* Ecopsychological Development and Maternal Ecodistress During Matrescence by Aurelie Athan* Twilight Greenaway's Substack, The Window, with regular climate news coverage* Donate to Baby2Baby's fire relief support * More links from Liz:* How to pack a go bag* Our Children's Trust* Families for Climate * Anya Kamenetz's Substack The Golden Hour* Liz Doerr and Brekke Wagoner's 10-week preparedness guide* Britt Wray's Generation Dread takes on climate grief head-on This is a public episode.

Kelly and Norah were on very different life paths. Kelly was a model, who spent her free time volunteering with Head Start - an experience that opened her eyes to how many children lacked basic necessities, like properly fitting shoes. Norah was a lawyer at a high-powered New York City firm, who enjoyed engaging in pro bono work, especially in helping low-income women secure housing and other resources. But a dinner between the two - arranged by Kelly's father-in-law - revealed their shared passions for nonprofit work, their new status as mothers, and their interest in pivoting in their careers, eventually leading to the two women becoming the CEOs of Baby2Baby. Now, Baby2Baby provides millions of diapers and other essentials to those in need and garners support from an impressive list of celebrities, including Jessica Alba, Kim Kardashian, Ayesha Curry, and Drew Barrymore. In this episode of She Pivots, Kelly and Norah talk about the role of celebrity engagement in Baby2Baby, the logistics of their first 100,000 diaper donation, and overcoming sexism they have faced as CEOs of a female-led non-profit. Be sure to subscribe, leave us a rating, and share with your friends if you liked this episode!

An 18-year veteran of the agency, Dakhil has long been at the forefront of cultivating opportunities for diverse talent and championing underserved voices and their stories. Gina Prince-Bythewood's action epic THE WOMAN KING, made its world premiere earlier this month at the Toronto Film Festival and went on to open #1 at the box office. Lena Dunham's CATHERINE CALLED BIRDY, which also had its world premiere at Toronto, opens in theaters September 23. She most recently signed Higher Ground, Obama's media company. In addition, Dakhil brokered a bevy of deals for client Olivia Wilde of late (BOOKSMART), including a female-led comedy for Universal, which Wilde will produce and direct; DON'T WORRY DARLING, in which Wilde stars in and directed; and a new Marvel movie. Dakhil has also guided client Reese Witherspoon on building out her production company, Hello Sunshine, which focuses on female-driven content across multiple platforms. Hello Sunshine, which was sold to a venture backed by private- equity giant Blackstone Group in August 2021, has produced such films as WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING, GONE GIRL, and WILD, as well as the Emmy-winning television series THE MORNING SHOW with Jennifer Aniston for Apple TV+, which has been renewed for a third season, BIG LITTLE LIES for HBO, and the original thriller SURFACE for Apple TV+.

Formula feeding isn't a parenting failure. So why do so many parents still feel that way? In this week's episode, host Anjelika Temple explores the stigma of formula and the ever-evolving conversation around how we feed our babies. First, she talks with Mallory Whitmore, aka The Formula Mom, about becoming the feeding expert she wishes she had as a new mom. Then, Anj talks to Bobbie co-founders, Laura Modi and Sarah Hardy, about how their difficult feeding journeys led them on a mission to support modern parents—one bottle at a time. P.S. There's still a shortage of formula in many areas of the country. Have extra you want to donate? Our guest, Mallory (@theformulamom) suggests asking local food banks, domestic violence shelters, Baby2Baby chapters, or parent groups on Facebook.
