We thought we might get four or five submissions, and had no idea how many of you would submit your stories for consideration. Can I just say that we were completely blown away by the response?! So blown away in fact, that we’ve decided to make this the start of a new series for us, called The Only One In The Room, Sunday Edition. But today, we are over the moon to bring you our winner! The story that took our collective breath away.

During our season break, we wanted to share with you one of the more inspirational interviews from season four. We love this episode where actor/director, Geoffrey Owens breaks down his meteoric rise to fame as an actor on The Cosby Show, and his subsequent decision to work at Trader Joe's to support his family. This is one fan-favorite you will listen to over and over again.Picture being an unknown actor in New York City and then a chance encounter between your mother and casting agent results in you being selected for a role on the biggest television show in the history of Nielsen ratings. A move which catapults you from being an anonymous member of a theater group to someone who can no longer go to the grocery store without being mobbed.When Geoffrey Owens, actor, director, producer, was cast on The Cosby Show at age 24, it seemed to the the world that he would live the rest of his life in the luxurious celebrity style that we all knew and coveted.But what if one day, after the fame and money ran low, you had to take a day job, one that would help pay the bills and allow you to continue to pursue the craft you really loved: Theater. Would you bag groceries at Trader Joes, and risk being job shamed? Or would you let debt pile up and let go of the theater life you loved so much, wishing you could go back to being anonymous again?Finding Geoffrey Owens:Instagram: @iamgeoffreyowensBe sure not to miss our NOW Normal series releasing every Thursday.If you'd like to be the first to hear about upcoming guests or have conversations like these be sure to join our Facebook Group .You can also DM us on instagram @theonlyoneintheroom or email us via the website www.theonlyonepod.com.Also visit the website for the latest from our host Laura Cathcart Robbins such as live events, appearances, featured articles and more.Don't miss our bonus after show Scott Talks, where co-host and producer Scott Slaughter (aka Hon) briefly chops it up with our guest now releasing every Wednesday!*If you know someone who might be feeling like they're the "Only One" be sure to share this or one of our other unique episodes with them.

When I was pregnant with my now 22-year-old son, my OBGYN insisted that I start drinking water after I confessed to him that I subsisted almost entirely on a diet of candy and soda. I left his office feeling sentenced that day, thinking that I could never possibly drink ONLY water for the remaining months of my pregnancy, as it had no flavor.
