Alaska doesn't just have Bigfoot. It has something older.This is the second stop on our cryptid road trip across America. Last time out, we worked the longleaf pine country of Alabama and the legend of the White Thang.Tonight we head north to the rain coast of southeast Alaska, where the fog comes down low over the tideline and the spruce trees grow right to the water. This is the country of the Tlingit, a maritime people who have been reading these waters for somewhere between ten and fifteen thousand years. And it is the country of the Kushtaka — the otter people, the shape-shifting beings who imitate the voices of the people you love and call you out into the dark.We open in a fourteen-foot skiff outside Wrangell, with a fisherman in the fog and a child crying near the shore, and what his Tlingit grandmother told him to do if it ever happened.From there we go deep. Into the ethnography of the Kushtaka, into the protections the old stories say can save your life — copper, dogs, and one other thing nobody likes to bring up — into three traditional accounts passed down through generations, and into two modern reports from a Forest Service ranger in the Tongass and a pair of kayakers on Admiralty Island. We close with a long, cinematic survival story from a cannery cove outside Hoonah in October of two thousand and eleven, and the one small tell that may be the only thing standing between you and what's on the other side of the door.Handle this one with respect.The Kushtaka belong to a living tradition still carried by Tlingit families in southeast Alaska today. Listen with that in mind. And if you ever find yourself on a piece of Alaskan water you don't quite know, on a night when the fog has come down and the world has gone quiet, and you hear a voice you recognize calling your name from the trees, you already know what to do.Put your back to it. Keep your hands on something made of copper. And don't look back.Have you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods? We want to hear your story.Email your encounter to brian@paranormalworldproductions.com for a chance to be featured on a future episode of Backwoods Bigfoot Stories.Backwoods Bigfoot Stories is a paranormal storytelling podcast featuring real Bigfoot encounters, Sasquatch sightings, Dogman reports, cryptid experiences, and true scary stories from the backwoods.Follow the show and turn on automatic downloads so you never miss a chilling encounter from the forest. Listen with the lights off… if you dare.
Colossians 2:18-23 (NKJV)Andrew and Edwin discuss the difficulty of navigating between the utter self-denial of asceticism and the self-indulgence of doing whatever is right in our own eyes. Both of these ignore Christ and focus on the flesh. Neither help in stopping the indulgence of the flesh.Read the written devo that goes along with this episode by clicking here.

Send us Fan MailSeason 17's halfway to the finish line, and the TGTPTU boys are back from break revving their engines, ready for the next four in their “hack” director line-up. Jack's pick coming in third is Ron Howard, starting with his first film in the big chair, the “smash-‘em-up” smash success (for a Roger Corman feature) GRAND THEFT AUTO (1977). Howard's only feature to co-write or to co-star in as director, the then-Happy Days star cut his teeth on GTA (no relation to the videogame) coming off the success as leading man-boy in the preceding Corman car chase flick Eat My Dust (1976). As part of Howard's deal with Corman, the success of EMD put the boy who once played Opie Taylor in TV's The Andy Griffith's Show in charge of first and second units, stunt coordinators, helicopters, and his kin/fellow actors brother Clint Howard and father Rance Howard—all this on the day after Ron's 23rd birthday. GTA's plot follows young elopers played by Howard and Nacy Morgan (who might be best known as John Ritter's first wife), who've stolen Morgan's father's Rolls-Royce to avoid the pressure of her pseudo-arranged marriage to a rich dweeb. This theft leads Morgan's father, a prominent citizen about to run for major office, to have his security detail retrieve his car (and daughter). Morgan's jilted dweeb upon learning he's not to be betrothed assumes she's been kidnapped and calls a local radio station to put a bounty on her safe return before stealing a car to give chase himself, causing his wealthy mother to call the same station to offer a separate bounty for her son's safe return. From there, cars go crash, clang, boom, and pow. Start peeling off your lead paint and start snacking on its sweet goodness to revel in this 70's film concept of comedy during what the hosts generally agree is a second-screener. This ep, Ryan turns his head cold to his advantage as a radio announcer; Jack reveals this and Solo (2018) are the only Howard movies he's seen prior; and Thomas and Ken recommend (re)listening to the Any Which Way You Can episode and dunk hard on regular Howard collaborating producer Brian Grazer's hair. CORRECTION: Jonathan Demme's film for Roger Corman wasn't Handle with Care (nor was it Woody Allen's Radio Days) but Caged Heat (followed by Crazy Momma) when Demme was giving Howard some Corman-related advice.

Perfect Match: Season 4 Premiere Recap Netflix's Perfect Match returns for season 4 premiere, and Aysha, Jason, and Kirsten are here to break down this new cast of reality singles stepping into the chaos. As the trio navigates through the first-night matchups, past show connections, and ever-confusing name doubles, they spotlight early alliances and the unpredictable vibe shifts shaping the season's opening. The discussion dives into the entire starting cast, with background on each contestant drawn from shows like Age of Attraction, Love Is Blind, Too Hot to Handle, Vanderpump Rules, and Temptation Island. The hosts unravel dynamics like Chris's infamous intentions for being on reality TV, the Love Is Blind glow-up journeys, and the challenges of keeping track of similar names and faces. Early chemistry tests through kissing games and first matches keep alliances loose, while contestants already maneuver for position with moves like offering designer gifts to seal a match. The group also unpacks the show's evolving rules—now with three new singles entering after the first game—setting up higher stakes and more ways for alliances (and hearts) to break. Chris's reality TV motives and questionable approach to relationships highlighted through his designer bag “strategy.” Early connections and mismatches, with Marissa staking her claim for DaMari, and Jimmy navigating first impressions post-glow-up. Contestants from various Netflix shows—including a standout from Squid Game The Challenge and a Vanderpump Rules alum, mixing entertainment backgrounds and play styles. The group debate over the value of compatibility challenges, astrology's influence on matches, and why some singles seem perpetually lost in the shuffle. Fresh dynamics set by changing rules in the boardroom, as more singles enter and the original couples are challenged right away. With new twists and the unpredictability of reality TV alchemy, will any couple find staying power on Perfect Match this season? Can playing for laughs or strategy secure a place in the next episode, or will loyalty be as fleeting as last night's match? Listen in for thoughtful recaps and behind-the-scenes tea from the worlds of Netflix reality. Plug into the full episode for a dose of show analysis, cast breakdowns, and all the messy fun from the premiere of Perfect Match season 4. 00:00 Meet the Perfect Match Hosts 06:58 Starting Cast Revealed and Debated 15:47 Jimmy's Dramatic Glow Up 21:17 Marissa's Love is Blind Fallout 25:56 DaMari's Too Hot to Handle Past 32:19 Nick's Dark Energy Noticed 39:12 Kissing Challenge Sparks Rivalries 47:26 Designer Bag Bribes Appearing 51:30 Morning After and Pairings Shift 59:42 Boobs and Butts Challenge Begins 01:04:04 New Singles, New Boardroom Twist 01:12:53 Will Brie Enter the Villa?

Episode Overview In this episode of Expert Mentors Live, John Kitchens sits down with real estate operator and AI strategist Tony Cruz to unpack the new realities of today's market—and why the agents who adapt fastest are the ones winning right now. From shifting buyer behavior and difficult pricing conversations to AI-powered follow-up systems and voice automation, Tony breaks down the exact strategies agents need to stay relevant, scalable, and profitable in a rapidly changing industry. This conversation dives into: Why many agents are struggling in today's market The massive "skill void" happening inside real estate How AI is transforming lead conversion and follow-up Why most CRMs are silently killing opportunities The rise of Voice AI and webinar marketing How simple automations can dramatically increase conversions If you're trying to grow your business without drowning in busy work, this episode delivers practical strategies you can implement immediately. Key Topics Covered What's Actually Different About Today's Market Tony explains why today's market requires agents to become stronger communicators—not just marketers. Today's buyers and sellers are: More cautious More payment-sensitive More informed More skeptical Which means agents must stop "talking at" clients and start having more consultative conversations. "The name of the game right now is who owns the buyers." Why Agents Are Struggling According to Tony, the biggest issue isn't the market itself—it's the lack of skill development. Many agents struggle because they've never learned: Negotiation Expectation setting Lead conversion Objection handling Relationship-based communication He also points to a lack of leadership and training inside many brokerages. The Luxury Listing Strategy That Builds Trust Tony shares how he's using third-party appraisals on luxury listings to create: Credibility Realistic seller expectations Easier pricing conversations Stronger positioning Instead of telling sellers what they want to hear, he focuses on building trust through data and transparency. The Follow-Up Problem Most Agents Don't Realize They Have One of the biggest breakthroughs Tony shares is how AI exposed major flaws inside his own CRM follow-up systems. After auditing his automations using Claude AI, he realized: His messaging lacked rapport His follow-up was too generic His sequences weren't aligned with the client avatar Once rewritten, engagement and responses increased significantly. "You're not building rapport—you're talking at them." The "Did You Get My Email?" Strategy Tony reveals one of the simplest—and highest ROI—follow-up tactics agents can implement immediately. After sending an important email, send a text the next day: "Hey, did you get my email yesterday?" This simple system dramatically improves: Open rates Replies Engagement Appointment conversions Why Most Agents Waste Money on Leads Tony explains why running ads without proper systems is a recipe for failure. Before agents spend money on: Zillow Realtor.com Facebook ads Google PPC They must first fix: Their follow-up Their CRM Their automations Their conversion systems "You're pouring water into a sinking ship." Webinar Marketing: The Most Underrated Lead Source One of Tony's favorite strategies right now:

It's Friday. My wife's been out of town for a whole week. I spent the quiet time digging into famous quotes — the kind you've heard a thousand times but never sat with. Woody Allen. Yogi Berra. Will Rogers. Thomas Edison. The old voices still hit if you sit with them for a minute. Today, I ran seven of their best lines through Scott Logic. You'll leave with a simple way to show up, move when you're stuck, and stop rehearsing the life you're supposed to be living. Press play. Bring coffee. Featured Story My wife has scales everywhere. Kitchen scales. Bathroom scale. She weighs her food like a chemist measuring compounds. Twice a week, she hands me a perfectly measured bowl of ice cream. Four ounces, maybe five. It's good stuff. This week she's out of town. I found the half-gallon in the freezer and went to work. Night one. Night two. Night three. Somewhere around night three, I gave myself too much and realized exactly why she measures. Now I have a problem. Do I eat the rest and pretend it was never there? Do I buy a replacement and slide it onto the shelf? I'll tell you what I'm going to do. Important Points Your competition is mostly imaginary. Most never started or already quit, so showing up 70% puts you ahead of the pack. A wrong turn can always be fixed. Standing frozen at the intersection is where life actually runs you over for good. Figure out what you do naturally, without anyone pushing you, and you'll find the thing you should be doing for real. Memorable Quotes The competition is mostly imaginary. Half never started, the other half quit. Show up and the math takes care of itself. A wrong turn, you can fix. Standing at the intersection, you get honked at and hit by a truck. Life runs you over. Failure is just data. If you pay attention and collect enough of it, you accidentally become an expert in the room. Scott's Three-Step Approach Show up and pick a direction. Most of your competition never started or already quit, so being there puts you ahead. Keep moving when you stumble. Each mistake is just data that stacks until you accidentally become an expert in the room. Handle the unfinished business tonight. Don't let it fester until morning, or it will wear you out by tomorrow.

In this episode of Storage Wins, Alex Pardo works with Dan Wentzel through one of the most real and raw moments of the journey so far. After months of working on a small wholesale deal, Dan finds himself stuck, frustrated, and mentally drained—unsure whether the deal is even worth pursuing anymore. What makes this episode powerful isn't just the deal itself—it's the internal battle that comes with it. The uncertainty. The sunk cost. The time, energy, and money already invested. And the pressure to "make it work" simply because you've come this far. Alex steps in to simplify everything. Instead of overanalyzing or trying to fix the situation, the focus shifts to one thing: making a decision. Move forward with clarity—or cut bait and redirect your energy toward better opportunities. The conversation also highlights a critical lesson for every investor: not every deal is worth saving. Sometimes the biggest win is protecting your time, your confidence, and your ability to move on. This episode is a turning point—where indecision gets replaced with action, and frustration gets replaced with clarity. You'll Learn How To: Recognize when a deal is no longer worth your time and energy Avoid the sunk cost trap when evaluating opportunities Take back control of deals instead of waiting passively Have direct conversations with sellers to force clarity Handle uncomfortable conversations with attorneys and partners Make faster decisions that protect your momentum and confidence What You'll Learn in This Episode: [0:52] The reality of frustration and feeling stuck in a deal [2:15] Why documenting the hard moments matters just as much as wins [4:01] Status update: contract sent, waiting on seller response [6:11] Why waiting without clarity creates more anxiety [8:36] The real issue: lack of control and passive communication [10:05] Avoiding uncomfortable conversations with the attorney [12:08] Why this deal has dragged on for months [14:28] The sunk cost trap and how it clouds decision-making [17:09] Taking ownership instead of blaming external factors [20:07] Why small deals shouldn't consume massive time and energy [22:23] The "fork in the road" moment—move forward or walk away [24:59] How opportunity cost can be bigger than the deal itself [26:13] The importance of decisive action vs overthinking [29:10] Why chasing deals puts you in a weak position [30:26] The next step: call the seller and force clarity [31:52] Setting up the next move and regaining control Who This Episode Is For: Investors stuck in deals that are dragging on too long Listeners struggling with indecision and overthinking Anyone dealing with frustration, delays, or unclear next steps Entrepreneurs caught in the sunk cost trap People who need to make a hard decision and move forward Why You Should Listen: Every investor eventually faces a deal that drags on longer than it should. The difference is whether you stay stuck—or step up and take control. This episode shows how to recognize when a deal is no longer serving you, how to cut through the noise, and how to make decisions that protect your time, energy, and momentum. If you've ever felt stuck in a situation you can't seem to move forward from, this conversation will help you break out of it and take your next step with confidence.

In this episode of Storage Wins, Alex Pardo works directly with Dan Wentzel to break down the step-by-step process of wholesaling a self-storage facility. After spending months trying to get a small deal under contract, Dan finds himself stuck in the details—overthinking contracts, working with the wrong professionals, and letting fear slow down progress. Alex pulls back the curtain on what should actually happen once you agree on a price with a seller. From choosing the right title company to structuring attorney relationships, handling earnest money, and managing communication between all parties, this episode simplifies what often feels like a complicated and overwhelming process. More importantly, this conversation highlights a key lesson every investor must learn: the deal doesn't fall apart because of complexity—it falls apart because of hesitation, overthinking, and lack of clarity. By the end of the episode, Dan walks away with a clear plan of action and a much simpler framework to move forward. You'll Learn How To: Navigate the wholesaling process from agreement to closing with clarity Avoid costly mistakes when working with attorneys and title companies Structure attorney relationships using flat fees instead of hourly billing Identify and choose investor-friendly escrow agents or title companies Handle earnest money deposits and protect yourself in the process Stay in control of the deal as the "connective tissue" between all parties ⸻ What You'll Learn in This Episode: [1:12] The problem: getting stuck after agreeing on a deal [3:46] Why this deal took 2–3 months to get under contract [5:16] How fear and overthinking slowed down progress [7:04] Why you should never pay attorneys hourly for simple deals [9:23] How to find investor-friendly title companies and escrow agents [10:44] Using your network to source the right professionals [11:17] Building a database of title companies across multiple states [12:21] Why settlement fees are paid at closing—not upfront [14:24] What a typical settlement fee looks like ($500–$1,000 range) [15:57] How to position yourself for long-term relationships with vendors [17:29] Why thinking relationally beats thinking transactionally [18:27] Typical flat fees for contract review and what to expect [20:37] How attorneys can accidentally kill deals with over-lawyering [21:50] Why simple deals should stay simple [23:29] The importance of asking for help earlier in the process [25:09] How to structure earnest money deposits (EMD) properly [26:49] Avoiding wire fraud by verifying instructions [29:18] When (and when not) to pay attorneys upfront [31:27] Disclosure and legality considerations when wholesaling [33:47] What happens after you choose a title company [35:05] How to position yourself honestly as a wholesaler [36:36] Finding photographers or boots-on-the-ground help for marketing [40:25] Why your job isn't done after finding a buyer [41:27] Becoming the transaction coordinator to ensure closing Who This Episode Is For: Investors trying to wholesale their first self-storage deal Listeners confused about the process after getting a deal agreed upon Anyone overwhelmed by contracts, attorneys, and timelines Entrepreneurs who tend to overthink and delay action People who want a clear, simple path to closing deals ⸻ Why You Should Listen: Most investors don't get stuck because the process is hard—they get stuck because it's unclear. This episode simplifies the entire wholesaling process and gives you a clear roadmap for what to do, when to do it, and how to avoid the most common mistakes. From working with the right professionals to managing communication and staying in control of the deal, this conversation removes the confusion and replaces it with confidence. If you've ever felt stuck after getting a deal in motion, this episode will help you move forward faster—and with far less friction.

This episode is connected to:* Hot Seat Coaching #1* Hot Seat Coaching #2When you find yourself spiraling over a structural choice—looping between two different plot points or debating a table of contents—it's easy to treat it as a technical puzzle to be solved with logic. But as book coach Jennie Nash explores in this episode, the hardest writing decisions usually aren't about craft; they are about courage.Inspired by a profound "hot seat" moment with writer Andrew Parella, Jennie discusses how the simple question "Why is this so hard for me?" can reveal where you are "playing small." Whether you're deciding the scope of a nonfiction argument or the emotional vulnerability of a memoir, being stuck often means you are hovering between a safe version of your book and the big, ambitious version that actually wants to be written. This session is a call to align your head with your heart and step into the bigger power your project is asking of you.#AmWriting is a reader-supported publication.

Today I am talking about something that Andrew said in our hot seat coaching session the other day. That's just really captured my attention. If you listen to that episode, which I'll link to in the show notes, you'll be able to hear him say this, but I wanted to take some time to talk about it on a right big session because the question was just so profound.What he asked himself was just simply, why is this so hard? So what was happening was we were talking through a writing decision he was struggling with. It's one of those decisions where as a coach you can feel the writer circling around it, going back and forth, trying one thing, then another just sort of spiraling and not sure about how to move forward.And I. Was prepared to say the thing that I always say as a book coach, which [00:01:00] is, okay, let's go through all the options. Let's make a pro con list of how to proceed with this, of what your different choices are, and we can step back and look at the possible directions. That's the analytic way that I was thinking to approach this decision.But Andrew had actually already solved the problem, and he had solved it not by going through all the options or using his mind. He had solved it by asking, why is this so hard for me? Which is a question of the heart. So what he did was he took it out of the intellectual sphere and he took it into this sphere.Of feeling I was there ready to start diagramming possibilities and using our head to figure this out. And he was the one who was like, well, wait a minute. Let me look at why this is hard. And what he realized was that the reason it was hard was because the decision was poking up against why this book so much to [00:02:00] him.What he actually said was he realized he was playing small. He was circling around a decision ‘cause he wanted to do the thing that would make the book big, but he felt like he should do the thing that would keep the book small. He was pinging back and forth. Between his desire and it was showing up as a structural decision in the book about how he would approach.In this case, it was the reality of vampires in his story. And one way would be, I can handle this. I'm capable of this. I can wrap up my hands around this. And the other way was, oh no, that's gonna be a big scary book that I'd be having to. Handle and tackle, and I'm not sure that I could do that. So by not making this decision, he was holding himself back.He was hedging his bets. He was not fully committing to the version of the book that he really wanted to write. And as long as he was stuck in that place, every single decision was going to feel wrong. He was never gonna [00:03:00] land on one that was like, yes, this is it. And this moment stayed with me. So hard because I think a lot of writing decisions that feel technical or structural are actually something else.They're about whether we're willing to write the book that wants to be written. So imagine for example, that you're writing a nonfiction book and it's about burnout at work, and you keep getting stuck on how to frame it. Is the book a step by step guide on managing stress? Or is it about something bigger about, say how the culture of work itself is totally unsustainable.The first version is contained, it's small, and the other version is making a much bigger claim, and it's asking that writer to step up into a much bigger kind of power. So if you're circling that structural decision endlessly, you might think that it's different choices about. What the chapters are gonna look like are the table of [00:04:00] contents.But the real question is, am I willing to say the bigger thing, am I willing to go out there and say this bigger thing? Or imagine this for memoir. Maybe you're writing a book about moving to a new city and the first year of showing up in a new place and building community, but there's something you keep avoiding, which is that there was a breakup that happened before you made this move and that precipitated your.Coming here and you keep asking yourself, does this even belong in the book? Will it derail the narrative? Is it taking it in a different direction? Should I have a prologue? Should I start it at chapter one with that breakup? Should I just assume that people are gonna know, should I not put in it at all?But the real reason that decision probably feels hard is that that decision changes what the book is about. Uh, it stops being a story about a new city and a new adventure, and it becomes a story about rebuilding [00:05:00] a life. So it becomes a bigger story. And in order to write big, you have to embrace that bigness of it.So what Andrew's question does, why is this so hard is shift. The focus inward to what you're hesitating about, to what version of the book you might be avoiding to what version of your own self as a writer you might be avoiding because every writer has a story about who they are and how they're showing up.There's the safer version of that story, and there's the bigger version. There's one that might be more honest or more ambitious or more emotionally exposed, and when we try to write the smaller version of that story, whatever it is, the whole project will start to wobble because we're not in alignment with our goal.So maybe your scenes don't quite land, or the structure of the book feels wrong, or every decision feels impossible. And it's not [00:06:00] because you don't know enough about your story or your material or craft, or your skills need sharpening. It's because you and what you're doing aren't aligned yet. So the next time you find yourself circling some decision about your work.Whether it's rewriting the same paragraph over and over, or asking everyone you know what they think, or debating some decision. It's definitely worth pausing and asking this question, which is not what is the right choice here, but why is this decision so hard for me? Odds are good that your project is asking you to step into a bigger power than you're comfortable with, and you're still debating whether you're actually willing to do that.You're debating the commitment of the whole thing. It's a really brilliant move to make. And I would urge you to listen to Andrew talk about asking that question on our coaching call because it was so profound to hear him talk about it, and it was such a good [00:07:00] reminder for me that I have to remember to help the writer get out of their head and into their heart.Thanks for listening.

In this episode of Storage Wins, Alex Pardo and Dan Wentzel walk through the current state of Dan's deal pipeline, including one opportunity that's verbally accepted and moving toward contract, and another that requires deeper analysis to determine if it's actually worth pursuing. As the conversation unfolds, Alex highlights the importance of clarity—specifically having a defined Buy Box Blueprint—and how that clarity allows Dan to quickly identify when a deal fits his long-term goals versus when it should be positioned as a wholesale opportunity. This distinction becomes critical as they break down a deal that looks promising on the surface but reveals challenges when you evaluate the market, demographics, and income potential. They also dive into real-world execution: managing sellers who operate "old school," staying consistent with communication, learning from small mistakes, and continuing to stack wins through daily action. The episode closes with a deeper look at deal valuation, cap rates, and how to approach sellers with unrealistic expectations—setting the stage for creative deal structuring in the next episode. You'll Learn How To: Define your buy box so you stop forcing deals that don't fit your goals Identify when a deal should be wholesaled instead of held Analyze rural markets and spot red flags in demographics Estimate deal value using quick NOI and cap rate calculations Handle sellers with unrealistic price expectations Use consistent communication to keep deals moving forward What You'll Learn in This Episode: [0:00] Recap of Dan's progress and current position in the journey [2:18] Wins stacking up: VA lead flow, increased outreach, and offers [5:10] How underwriting deals for others improves your skillset [8:08] Viewing deals through multiple lenses to create opportunity [11:39] Lessons learned from sending a contract to the wrong address [13:20] How to work with sellers who don't use email [16:09] Why this deal is being considered as a wholesale opportunity [17:14] The importance of having a clearly defined buy box [20:04] Why consistent seller communication is critical [21:03] Breakdown of a 66-unit deal with below-market rents [22:18] How to identify an unsophisticated operator [26:02] Evaluating pros and cons of a rural storage market [30:22] Back-of-the-napkin math to estimate NOI [36:30] Using cap rates to determine offer ranges [40:07] Navigating unrealistic seller expectations [42:11] Structuring creative terms to make deals work Who This Episode Is For: Investors actively working toward their first self-storage deal Listeners evaluating multiple deals and unsure which to pursue Anyone struggling to determine what makes a "good" deal Entrepreneurs looking to improve decision-making and deal analysis Why You Should Listen: Momentum in real estate isn't just about finding deals—it's about knowing what to do with them. This episode shows how clarity, consistency, and better analysis lead to smarter decisions. Not every deal is meant to be owned, and not every opportunity fits your goals—but when you understand how to evaluate and structure deals properly, you create more paths to win. If you're in the phase of taking action, analyzing deals, and trying to figure out what actually makes sense, this conversation will help you think more strategically and move forward with confidence.

Danielle is joined by a young (and tall) reality TV star who turned his reputation as an “f boy” into that of a more evolved bachelor looking to settle down. He WAS “Too Hot to Handle, but now Harry Jowsey is “boyfriend material.” Netflix’s next leading man chats all about his awkward teen years, while we get a rundown on the Down Under hot spots which served as the possible gateway to his unscripted stardom. Plus, we follow Harry’s journey to traditional acting and how he’s now baring it all (emotionally) on his new show, “Let’s Marry Harry.” It’s a new, and hip, episode of “Teen Beat!”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
