What if you were born with a rare form of dwarfism, and the doctors told your parents that you would never lead a normal life, that things like running, biking, or even walking without assistance might not be possible for you?4’4, Actor/Stuntman, Pro Drummer, ​podcaster, and Surfer, Christophe Zajac Denek, found it challenging to watch the other kids grow taller around him, but he didn’t want to let that deter him from living life to the fullest.But what would you do if society told you to stay small, but you knew that you were meant for greater things? Would you decide to just take the roles that were assigned to you? Or would you shock everyone and become an in-demand drummer, actor, and a stuntman, and let the whole world know that you were “kind of a big deal”?More From Christophe Denek:Visit: https://www.christophezd.com/Listen: I'm Kind Of A Big DealFinding Christophe Denek:LinkedIn: Christophe DenekTwitter & Instagram: @ChristopheZDSpecial thanks to our sponsors:Mercato:Mercato is a grocery delivery service that supports local, independent merchants.

Orlando “Ori” Spado is best known as The Hollywood Mob Boss and we were lucky enough to interview him (episode 106, The Only Accidental Gangster In The Room). You’ll want to hear him tell this particular story in his own words (and voice) but I had to read it to you because I love it so much. Orlando (Ori) Spado sold insurance for the Prudential Insurance Company where he was a leading agent for years. Eventually, he moved to Beverly Hills, California where he became known as a Hollywood fixer doing favors for A-list celebrities and others. People referred to him as the Hollywood Mob Boss. In 2008 he was arrested at his home in Beverly Hills and brought to Brooklyn on a Colombo crime family RICO indictment. Ori finished his time at the U.S. Federal prison in Lompoc and returned to Beverly Hills, where he is involved in a few film projects and other legitimate businesses. His critically acclaimed book, The Accidental Gangster, is the true story of his life, he lived it, he owns it and takes full responsibility for his actions of the past.Find his book, The Accidental Gangster here: https://theaccidentalgangster.com/Listen to his episode here: ‎The Only One In The Room on Apple PodcastsThank you to our Sponsors:Voyage et Cie:Voyage et Cie's curator Melanie Apple has cultivated a passion for notable moments using the sense of smell. Voyage et Cie is the ultimate luxury blend of travel, fragrance, and design.

Imagine fighting breast cancer and not only processing your own emotions but having to negotiate the reactions of others as well. Would you hide yourself away or work through the ups and downs of cancer treatment with your family and friends at your side? Host Kelly Nishimoto, Founder of Cute Booty Lounge, is back today with Jessica Coulthard & Elissa Kalver to conclude their eye-opening conversation on living with breast cancer and sharing that experience with others. This second part to the premiere episode of Behind the Booty reveals the raw truth of losing your breasts, how to ask others for help, how to advocate for your own health, and how to process your experiences with therapy.

Peter Sage’s story is so incredible that we made his episode our season 10 finale The Only One In The Room Who Was Grateful To Be Imprisoned (Episode 99). Please don’t forget to go back and listen to his incredible interview after you hear today’s reading of two excerpts from his best-selling book, The Inside Track.Peter Sage was sent to the most violent prison in the UK as the only non-criminal prisoner. Instead of playing the victim, he chose to identify as a ‘secret agent of change’. He went from mentoring frustrated billionaires to transforming the lives of his prison inmates. He wrote letters to his supporters documenting his entire experience which later became an award-winning book ‘The Inside Track’. Peter is a 6 time TEDx speaker whose multiple #1 bestselling books have sold over 150,000 copies in several languages.
