What does it take to turn heartbreak into music... and a pandemic hobby into a thriving business? On this episode of Between the Notes, Paisan Kapitan sits down with rising Armenian hip-hop artist Franco Drew, who opens up about depression, purpose, the inspiration behind his upcoming album Jolly Kid, and why making an impact matters more than chasing fame. Then meet Suzy, founder of Shishaya Premium Hookah Catering, who transformed a simple passion into one of Southern California's premier hookah catering companies while balancing a successful career in finance.

In this episode of Caregiver S.O.S. On Air, host Ron Aaron is joined by comedian, author, speaker, and educator Danny Klein-Modisett, founder of Laughter On Call. Danny shares her journey of navigating her mother’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis and how an unexpected moment of humor transformed her approach to caregiving, leading to the creation of an organization that brings comic relief and connection to seniors, family members, and professional caregivers nationwide. Main Topics Covered The Origin of Laughter On Call: How hiring a comedian to engage her mother led Danny to discover the profound impact of laughter on cognition, mood, and trust. The Science and Benefits of Laughter: How shared humor releases endorphins and dopamine, boosts oxygen intake, improves memory retention, and helps break down the sense of isolation often felt by those with dementia. Affiliative Humor vs. Misuse of Humor: Why inclusive, warm, and bonding humor builds psychological safety, whereas mockery or sarcasm shuts people down. Improv & Stand-Up Tools for Caregivers: How adopting a comedian’s mindset—learning to "reset" after a bad moment, letting go of rigid expectations, and avoiding argument through "Yes, and..." principles—prevents caregiver burnout. Connecting Through Virtual & Corporate Programs: How Laughter On Call expanded during the pandemic to offer interactive virtual workshops, corporate team-building, and workplace morale-boosting. Key Takeaways for Caregivers Laughter Builds Instant Trust: A single moment of shared, authentic laughter can lower defenses, build psychological safety, and foster trust between care recipients and caregivers. Practice the Art of the "Reset": Just like a stand-up comic who recovers after a joke flops, caregivers can benefit from letting go of rigid schedules and quickly resetting when things don't go according to plan. Meet Them Where They Are: "Knowing your audience" in caregiving means accepting the individual’s current reality rather than trying to correct them or pull them into yours. Showing Up Matters: Showing up with reasonable expectations and self-care directly impacts the care recipient’s well-being and helps mitigate caregiver depression. About Dani Dani Klein Modisett is the Founder/CEO of Laughter On Call. She is also a comedian/actor and author of the book, “ Take My Spouse, Please. ” a part-memoir, part how-to for creating shared laughter to keep your marriage happy and healthy. Dani taught Stand-Up at UCLA for 10 years and has coached keynote speakers, business leaders, and Congressional candidates to use more humor in their communication. She has been a speaker at CALA, ICAA, Stanford, MIT, Columbia, UCLA, Dartmouth, Fuqua and Harvard Business School where Laughter On Call is currently being used as a case study. Her TEDx talk was chosen as an Editor’s Pick, “What My Mother’s Alzheimer’s Taught Me About Alzheimer’s" Resources Mentioned Laughter On Call: laughteroncall.com Danny Klein-Modisett: kleincomedy.com Hosts Ron Aaron and Carol Zernial, and their guests talk about Caregiving and how to best cope with the stresses associated with it.

Tom Fox and co-host Ronnie Feldman interview Lauren Thal, VP of Compliance at mid-size pharma company Tolmar, about building an in-house compliance program after external partners previously ran it. Lauren describes her background in healthcare compliance and earlier consulting at Ernst & Young and Navigant and explains why Tolmar's legal/compliance team used improv training at a retreat to strengthen soft skills, bonding, and collaboration in a remote, cross-location environment. They discuss how exercises like “Red Ball” and role-playing highlight communication styles, active listening, adaptability, and managing competing priorities, helping compliance partner with the business without appearing “finger-waggy” or like the “police.” Lauren also explains her training/communications strategy using short, playful compliance videos on topics such as Speak Up and Code of Conduct to disarm fear, increase attention and recall, and encourage engagement, offering practical ideas for deployment and emphasizing that humor reinforces rather than undermines compliance messages.

In this episode of Workday Playdate, Erin sits down with Emmy Award-winning writer, actor, comedian, facilitator, and longtime improve it! family member Nnamdi Ngwe to explore why the most valuable career skills often come from the places you least expect. From playing college soccer to performing with The Second City, creating viral content, facilitating workshops for global organizations, and winning an Emmy, Nnamdi's career is proof that following your curiosity can lead to opportunities you never could have planned. If you've ever wondered whether your creative interests "count," questioned whether it's too late to pursue something different, or struggled to connect your unique experiences into a meaningful career path, this conversation will inspire you to see your strengths in a whole new way. Inside This Episode: Why Your Nontraditional Skills Are Your Competitive Advantage: Nnamdi shares how the experiences that don't fit neatly on a resume often become the skills that make you indispensable in your career. From College Soccer to Comedy Stages: Hear how an unexpected path led Nnamdi from the soccer field to improv theaters, television sets, and corporate boardrooms, proving that careers rarely unfold in a straight line. What It Really Takes to Create Viral Content: With a massive following across TikTok and Instagram, Nnamdi pulls back the curtain on his creative process and explains why content that looks effortless usually comes from consistent practice and experimentation. The Workplace Lessons Hidden Inside Improv: After facilitating workshops for companies like LinkedIn, TikTok, Motorola, and T-Mobile, Nnamdi explains the powerful moment when people realize improv isn't just entertainment—it's a practical skill for communication, collaboration, leadership, and innovation. Trusting Your Scene Partner and Yourself: Nnamdi reflects on collaborating with his twin brother and creative partner, Amechi, sharing lessons about trust, flexibility, and building successful partnerships both on stage and in business. What to Do Now: Identify Your Hidden Career Skill: Think about one strength you have that doesn't appear on your resume. Whether it's calming people during stressful moments, reading a room, making others laugh, or adapting when plans change, recognize it as a real professional asset. Stop Waiting for the Perfect Career Path: Your experiences don't have to make sense to everyone else. Trust that the skills you're building today may become the foundation for opportunities you can't yet imagine. Follow What Energizes You: Instead of asking whether a creative interest is practical, ask what it's teaching you. The projects that light you up often develop the very human skills that set you apart. About the Guest Nnamdi Ngwe is an Emmy Award-winning writer, actor, comedian, facilitator, and educator. After playing collegiate soccer at the University of Alabama-Birmingham, he went on to study and perform comedy at iO Theater and The Second City.

Season 6, Episode 769: replay in video version. MMF Threesome Her Body Worship and His Reclaim Erotic Scene, an erotic improv experience created for you by Ruan as she spun the story right off the top of her head as she recorded. Very little editing happened afterwards, this is basically raw right off the top of her head, spinning a tale, a sexy fantasy live as she recorded. This scene is about a married couple named Molly and Brad who want to expand their marriage to include a threesome, with their very willing friend Greg. It's very planned out and they enjoy enacting out their plans, which involve body worshipping Molly and bringing her to multiple orgasms before they enjoy theirs, then Brad reclaims Molly in a scene of domination and submission they both agreed to beforehand. Who said planning isn't fun? They've never done this! They had a blast and allowed for spontaneity in the sexual foray into multiple partner sex. Being sexually spoiled is pure bliss! They are devoted as ever as they know that they are committed to one another, and one another's pleasure. Mutual pleasure is mutual bliss!

The Career Stages Every Actor Goes Through There is a coaching phrase I keep coming back to. It gets better, it gets worse, it gets different, it gets real. And then it starts again. Better, worse, different, real. Over and over, sometimes all at once, sometimes so fast you can barely tell which one you are in. That is an acting career. And honestly, that is most creative careers. So today I want to talk about the stages, because here is what I find is true for so many actors I work with. They are not failing. They are just in a different stage than they think they are in, and that changes everything. Everyone Else Is Moving Forward and I Am Stuck This is the quiet belief that a lot of actors carry around. And whenever we compare ourselves to other people what we are really doing is telling the universe we are in the wrong place. But you are not in the wrong place. John over there is just in a different phase. That is it. Compare and despair. It is one of my favorite little sayings because it is so true. Comparison creates panic, and panic is absolutely useless unless it is your character who is panicking. Leave the drama on the stage. When you understand the stage you are actually in, the path forward gets a lot clearer. The Training Stage This is where you are focused on skill and craft. Studying technique, learning how to audition, learning how to work on camera, building those very first relationships in the industry. And so many actors want to skip this stage, which I genuinely do not understand. Improv classes and acting classes are fun. That is why we want to do this in the first place. It is joyful. So why would we rush past it? The desire to get representation immediately, to land big auditions right away, I get it. But I so strongly believe that opportunities come into our lives when we are ready for them. Without that training foundation, the opportunities that do arrive are very hard to sustain. The Positioning Stage This is where a lot of actors get confused. You can already be a strong actor, but casting still does not know where to place you. And sometimes that is because you do not know where to place yourself. The practical questions here are simple but important. What roles can you actually walk in and play right now? Do your headshots reflect that? Does your resume? Can agents and casting directors easily understand where you fit? Casting directors are solving a puzzle. The actor who clearly fits a piece of that puzzle gets called in first. Clarity in your own mind about what you want and what you offer, that clarity matters more than most actors realize. And I will throw this in because I talk about it a lot. If you are a voiceover actor, doing on-camera work supports your voiceover. If you are an on-camera actor, doing voiceover supports that. They feed each other. Work begets work. The Relationship Stage Your craft is strong, your positioning is clear, and now something else becomes really important. Your relationships with people in the industry. Casting directors, agents, producers, directors. You want them to recognize your name. You want them to trust your work. You want them to think, Josh is a great actor and Josh knows he is a great actor, and I know he is going to deliver. Because that is what makes us bring you back again and again. Acting careers do not explode overnight. They are built from little decisions over time, little actions and thoughts, working on relationships and craft and positioning a little bit every single day. Consistently. That is the whole thing. The Bottom Line If you are vague about where you are, you get vague results. You choose the wrong goals, you compare yourself unfairly, and eventually you burn out. But if you know exactly where you are at, you can focus strategically. Whether that is training, positioning, or relationships, every working actor you admire has moved through these stages. No one skips them entirely. Each stage prepares you for the next. Careers in acting are rarely built in giant leaps. They are built in stages. Want to Keep the Conversation Going? I have a class called Co-Creating Your Future. It is a three-hour taped class, so you can watch it whenever you want. Right now it's 33% off. And if you need some extra guidance, there are still some free consults available. Email me at peter@actingbusinessbootcamp.com As I always say, stay safe and treat yourself real well.
