On this episode, Jamie interviews former "Hollywood Today Live" TV host Kristen Brockman. Kristen founded The Un-Bucket List, a list that her late sister Kelsi made before she died of Cystic Fibrosis. Kristen is raising $100K for CF by completing Kelsi's list! We discuss: Grief and how celebrating birthdays and death anniversaries of a loved one can be hard (but also good), perfectionism and the importance of letting go of it, messing up travel plans, the time Kristen hugged a sloth for The Un-Bucket List, grieving with "a purpose," her former job as co-host on "Hollywood Today Live," Jamie's audition for E! back in 2009, the importance of supporting your peers and so much more.

Kristen Brockman caught up with episode 3 star Reef McIntosh to ask him some follow-up questions about how he splits time between Southern California and Hawaii, how he created a brand for himself, and how he coaches up-and-coming surfers (and their parents) to success. Reef also talked in more detail about the Pipeline to a Cure Gala, and what drives him to carve out time for volunteering and giving. Meanwhile, this month's Community Picks include other inspiring athletes from the professional and amateur ranks alike, and Kristen updates us on her Un-Bucket List project.
