TJ Lavin and I Have A Podcast: Stamina, Setbacks & Support

TJ Lavin, host of MTV's hit-series The Challenge, joins us on this action-packed episode of IHAP!
In forging our friendship, TJ completely disarmed me when he nonchalantly and respectfully brought attention to my sexuality in a good-humored and loving manner.
With TJ, I knew I had an ally. He treats those around him with dignity and camaraderie, which is probably why he shines as host of a show that pushes people to their physical, mental, and emotional edges.
TJ breaks the mold (and sometimes a few body parts) with his wild spirit, committed work ethic, and fun-loving personality.
In this episode of I Have A Podcast, TJ opens up about overcoming obstacles, how he landed his dream job, the ongoing work of growth and success, and how pushing yourself to your learning edge will make you MORE CREATIVE! 
You will never know what you are capable of until you reach for it, just don't quit.  
MUSIC IN THIS EPISODE WAS COMPOSED & CREATED BY TJ LAVIN.

Danielle Fishel and I Have A Podcast: Be Free and Creative

You may know Danielle Fishel best from her role as Topanga in the hit show Boy Meets World. Her iconic hair has been making headlines since the 1990s, so it’s no surprise this multi-passionate actress would go on to create a natural hair care line, Be Free.
 
Danielle joins me on this episode of I Have A Podcast to share how she balances competing jobs, why it’s good to be great at things that make you happy, and how her rap skills helped her break into TV hosting. As a mother, business-owner, and actress, Danielle shares the strategies she uses to stay creative and on task...it all starts with a cup of coffee and 30-minutes of solitude.
 
Learn how Danielle used consumer feedback to further align her socially conscious business and in turn created a better product. She’s a woman on a mission, who is always ready to learn and has so much to give.

Joining me on today's episode is the legendary TV Host & VJ, Ananda Lewis!
If MTV's TRL or BET's Teen Summit were part of your must-watch programming as a teen then it's time to double down on denim and jump back to the 90’s with me and Ananda as we talk about her approach to creativity, the importance of timing, and her approach to finding balance on and off the camera (hint: consistent transparency). 
There is no question about it, Ananda Lewis came to this planet to impact people's lives. In this episode we dive into:
Childhood trauma and the importance of mediation. 
Different ways to draw inspiration and expand your creativity by shifting your skills, tools, and attitude. 
The importance of timing.

Mandy Moore and I Have A Podcast: Self-authority, Trust, and Asking for Help

Joining me on this episode of I Have a Podcast is my longtime friend, actress, singer, songwriter, production company owner, who knows what’s like to be a working mother in Hollywood, Mandy Moore!
We talk about work-life balance and how she has used many forms of media to help build her brand, claim her narrative, and empower her audience to make an impact. 
Mandy shares her own challenges when it comes to making yourself small, and the journey of embarking on un-chartered territory as she broke into an industry she had no experience in at a very young and impressionable age. 
Claiming your self-authority is a process. It takes trust, it takes time, and often, it takes defiance.

Happy Jack and I Have A Podcast: Youth Culture & Mental Health

Happy Jack was founded by Jack Nathan, as a “nod to everyone who feels trapped in their mind, and a reminder to do precisely what is important to you. Otherwise, you'll end up being normal and normal is boring."
Unfortunately, Jack left us suddenly and accidentally on July 3, 2020 at the age of 19. His passing was unrelated to mental illness. Jack was a survivor. Not a victim. He left behind a legacy of perseverance and a company that lives on through the work of this family and the community he built.
His parents, Bradi Harrison & David Nathan, have stepped in to run their son’s company, in his legacy, in his honor, and in his shadow. As a cause-driven brand on a mission, Happy Jack donates a portion of every sale to nonprofits devoted to transforming the lives of children and families struggling with mental health.   
In this episode of IHAP, I connect with Jack’s parents, Bradi Harrison & David Nathan, to talk about running their retail business, mental illness, and their experiences working with college ambassadors. Learn more about Happy Jack and check out the merch and apparel at happyjacksworld.com.
