Podcast appearances and mentions of Maksim Chmerkovskiy

In this episode, I had the incredible opportunity to chat with Maksim Chmerkovskiy, a talented dancer and entrepreneur best known for his time on "Dancing with the Stars." We explored his journey from a young dancer in Ukraine to a prominent figure in Hollywood, discussing how he initially had no aspirations to enter the entertainment industry until his career took off in 2006. Maksim shared insights into the evolution of the show, his experiences with various celebrity partners, and the challenges he faced as a professional dancer. Overall, it was a heartfelt conversation that highlighted his resilience, humor, and passion for both dance and family.

On fleeing Ukraine and how people can help.  Earlier this year, you might have said that Ukrainian-born Maks Chmerkovskiy was best known for his work on Dancing with the Stars, but once Russia invaded Ukraine, Maks became a voice for the people who are still there.

Take their advice, so you don't make this common mistake.   Bethenny and Maks also bond over what it's like to be misrepresented on reality TV. Dancing with the Stars didn't do Maks justice, but today, Bethenny finds out who he really is. Plus, Bethenny's fiancé sent her a video that she needs your help deciphering.

It's classy, it's sassy, it's inspo, and it's tough love. Here's the one and only Cancel Me, Baby take on the unfolding Ukrainian-Russian crisis -- a digestible, sane look as it pertains to pop culture and the Joy Behars of it all. The episode is a nuanced take of Twitter poet AnnaLynne McCord's dreams, and ties in a surprising SAG Awards takeaway, my time with Maksim Chmerkovskiy (who's been documenting from his home country Ukraine), media's true power, one of my most impactful celebrity experiences, and what we've lost as a society (plot twist, can Hollywood help bring that thing back?). It goes somewhere unexpected and uplifting, and Oprah's Super Soul Sundays had no idea this shit was coming. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/taylor-ferber/support

The world woke up to headlines of war in the Ukraine - which is being called one of the darkest hours for Europe since the end of World War II. But unlike past wars, every moment of this conflict is being caught on tape - even the moment Russian soldiers were just 20 miles away from the Ukrainian capital. And the conflict is hitting home for some well-known personalities born in Ukraine including former Dancing with the Stars pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy. Instead of fleeing the embattled capitol of Kiev, he headed there to make sure his family was safe. Les Trent has the details. Plus, it's an upsetting video of a 13-year-old girl in tears as she's being put in handcuffs. She was accused of posting threats against her school on social media. One big problem - it wasn't her real Instagram account! Now the teen and her mom are speaking out to Inside Edition. And a recent study found that 81% of women say they have experienced some form of sexual harassment during their lifetime...but this woman is saying enough is enough. She says she was groped in a Vegas casino and decided to fight back.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The experiment was run by the live streaming platform Twitch, who noticed that gamers were recording themselves all the time and that there was a spike in viewers when these gamers were sleeping. They wanted to see what happens when people watching us dream act us when we’re sleeping. Kelly tells us what happens when:•you smell rotten eggs while you dream•you hear cats meowing•certain colors disrupt your sleep•things can change our minds when we sleep•and why gamers are the right people to study for dream workEvery day we are pushing the boundaries of learning how our dreams affect us, and for the latest results you won’t want to miss this instructive episode of Dream Power Radio.Kelly Sullivan Walden is on a mission to awaken the world to the power of dreams.

Meryl Davis is my guest on today’s podcast. Meryl skated to Olympic gold in ice dancing in 2014 and won the coveted mirrored ball on Dancing With The Stars. Since that time she has continued her education at the University of Michigan in cultural anthropology, got married in France, skated professionally around the world and she is empowering girls thru various philanthropic endeavors. I was excited to spend some time talking with Meryl about her travels around the world and her perspective of different cultures.Meryl BioWhen Meryl first fell in love with figure skating on a frozen lake by her childhood home outside of Detroit, Michigan, she had no idea the journey she was about to embark on. Teaming up with partner, Charlie White at the young age of nine, Meryl and Charlie began their quest together. Neither knowing much about the discipline of ice-dance, the team was driven by a passion for skating and the desire to learn, grow and see improvement from one day to the next. 20 years later, Meryl and Charlie are the reigning Olympic Champions and the first and only Americans to win the event. They’re also six-time U.S. Champions and 2-time World Champions, making them the most decorated U.S. ice dancers of all time. Immediately following their 2014 Olympic win in Sochi, Russia, Meryl and Charlie continued to dance into the hearts of Americans on season 18 of the hit TV show, Dancing with the Stars. With pro partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Meryl again came away with a win and the coveted Mirrorball trophy. Continuing their post-Olympic whirlwind, Meryl and Charlie now travel the world sharing their passion for skating with some of the most loved international skating tours, including Stars on Ice. With education always having been a priority for the pair, both are currently finishing up degrees at the University of Michigan while exploring other passions and interests. For Meryl, the journey to becoming an Olympic Champion was filled with challenges and opportunities that allowed her to find strength and confidence. As such, Meryl now seeks to empower girls and young women through her multiple philanthropic endeavors. Most prominently, Meryl is proud to be a Founding Co-Chair of Figure Skating in Detroit, a youth development organization that empowers girls to develop life skills through the sport of figure skating with a heavy emphasis on education. Meryl is also on the Advisory Panel of the Women’s Sports Foundation, a UNICEF Kid Power Champion, and Classroom Champions Athlete. When not at home with her family in Birmingham, Michigan Meryl most loves sharing her story and experiences in the hopes of inspiring others to follow their dreams.

Ballroom dancer Val Chmerkovskiy is a 2-time World Latin Dance Champion and a 14-time U.S. national Latin Dance champion. The younger brother of Maksim Chmerkovskiy, he's best known for his work on ABC's Dancing with the Stars. Val shares a DWTS record, originally set by his longtime rival Mark Ballas, of having the most celebrity partners to never individually score less than 8 from any judge. He is also the only professional dancer to go three consecutive seasons (16, 17, 18) without ever scoring less that an eight. In this conversation, Val talks about the biggest misconceptions about ballroom dance, the importance of chemistry and storytelling, the mentality required for competition dancing, whether he and Kelly Monaco were together during season 15 of Dancing with the Stars, and why being a male ballroom dancer is one of the most masculine things you can be.

Stacy Burk grew up on a farm in Van Alstyne, TX, where his mother recognized her only child's talent and encouraged him to sing and play guitar. Stacy was always around horses. As a kid you never had to look farther than the pasture to find him. If he wasn't out riding, he was tending to chores, being a kid and singing around the farm. "My mother joked and told me that if I didn't quit singing she was going to enter me in a talent show. I didn't quit singing so that's exactly what she did. She always supported me." At the age of 12, she entered him into his first talent show. Stacy sang Ronnie Milsap's "Almost like a Song." They both knew music was his destiny. Through a mutual friend Stacy reached out to Los Angeles based director, Dave West. Stacy was looking for a story or concept for a video for the song, "Til Your Boots are Dirty" and had seen two of West's short films ("Puddlejumper" & "The Do Over"). West came up with the idea of taking a ‘city boy' to the country and over the course of the song he gets his ‘boots dirty' and transforms into a ‘country boy.' West and Burk polished the idea and then brainstormed on how to find a way to have the song and specifically the video to pop through an incredibly crowded landscape. They understood that going "viral" is not something you can really plan, but prepping yourself to be able to maximize social media is.   Through his multiple seasons working as a producer on Dancing with the Stars, West befriended Maksim Chmerkovskiy. One call to Maks explaining the story was all he needed to come onboard.  Stacy will join Take 2 Radio Music for a chat on Monday, Aug. 11th at 3pm eastern time!
