Simon Crowe is one of these superhuman characters in the world -- not because of all that he has accomplished, but because of how he shows up in conversation and in the lives of those around him.

Although our conversation started out about Liberia, West Africa, its history, and his work there and around the world with coaches and peak performance specialists, it's Simon's detour into his relationship that is most revealing, and in the process, instructive, for the rest of us looking for, or being OK with being in, Love.

Simon Crowe: “If we hold onto it, it means we don't actually think we can keep it in our lives. By letting go (of my relationship) there was so much more of it that instantly became available.”

When Beyonce's "Lemonade" came out, Yvette Noel-Schure, her 20+ year publicist, admitted that she saw an opportunity on a global level for a generational healing to begin happening.

In her first-sit-down conversation with the millennial (Elaine Welteroth, Editor in Chief of Teen Vogue) she paved the road for without even knowing it decades as Editor of Black Beat Magazine in 1986, Yvette shares intensely personal stories, while Elaine goes in-depth on her creative process, for Teen Vogue, and now her TV credits including Grown-Ish, the power of surrendering instead of hustling, and what this next generation of women leaders and thinkers need to understand about foundational values before pursuing dreams.

Love these women, and am so grateful for their time, energy and collective wisdom.

Elaine Welteroth, FMR Editor in Chief of Teen Vogue, was in diapers when Yvette Noel-Schure (publicist to Prince, Beyonce, Adele, etc.) was paving the way for her.

Elaine, at 29, became the youngest editor in Conde Nast history. She grew up in California to what she calls a hippy dad and a soulful mom.

Yvette, born in Grenada, came to the United States in the 70s and went to City College of New York.

This is an incredible moment where two women, of two generations, one who paved the way for the other, and both who have tapped into spirituality and kindness as their paths to success, meet and have a conversation for the very first time.

OK, so Trump won. So to re-direct my energy, I pulled 3 of the best 10 minute stories I could to help re-direct all of us to what's really important.

Gabe Marihugh is one of the best gurus I've met on Maui who has the ability to synthesize culture and what's going on on our inside.

Leah Komaiko is the children's book author of 25 best-sellers and had a profound transcendent spiritual experience that she was wanting to share publicly, but never could. After 22 years, she shares it.

And Douglas Rushkoff, the best-selling author of THROWING ROCKS AT THE GOOGLE BUS, came on to promote his book, but instead found himself talking about media, philosophy, our role in creating smaller and closer nit communities.

Seemed like the perfect set of stories for the mood and what the world needs right now.

Roy Goble grew up in a junkyard. His parents came from Oklahama during the dustbowl over to Silicon Valley. His dad bought a junkyard. It just so happened those junkyards were located where Silicon Valley and the tech industry now are. Roy is the CEO of Goble Properties.

Roy is philanthropic (PathLight and Jaguar Creek in Belize, Central America) and now an author of "JUNKYARD WISDOM: Resisting the Whisper of Wealth in a World of Broken Parts." In his father's junkyard as a kid, Roy took apart everything to evaluate it for the value of its parts. Later, as he met success in real estate, Roy experienced complexity of creating wealth while still being a man of Faith. The book and interview both details these challenges and the wisdom in between.

Bobby Bailey and I VOX each other about Mapping the Future, the Unfolding Mystery of Self, my trip to Honolulu, Creating Content and Religion & God & Prophets and Practice.

As you know, I've been thinking about leaving The Jake Sasseville Show podcast, but before I did, I had these series of private conversations on the walkie-talkie APP Voxer with my friend Bobby.

It's instructive and weird and voyaristic.

In this episode of Jake & Bobby, what is the Reality Show Train Wreck, Bobby considers a letter to his unborn daughter and all the while I'm thinking of leaving The Jake Sasseville Show podcast.

These are a series of Voxes (walkie talkie APP) between me and Bobby Bailey - because if you were thinking about making a big life change, you'd want to have this type of conversation with your best friend.

Included in this one are ideas around social activism, running for political office, Osho and the idea of Misery and Happiness.

We touch on addiction and Dan Carlin's Hardcore History podcast. I'm a sucker for authentic and I'm not sure you can get better than this.

This episode of Jake + Bobby takes place on the streets of DC and Honolulu. We cover fear, Krishnamurti and how to deal with ourselves in the midst of banter and creative conversation.

I'm thinking of ending this podcast, but before I made any decisions, I wanted to talk to Bobby. It's a private conversation on the walkie-talkie APP Voxer that we decided to make into a few very powerful episodes.

Speaking of, we talk about the creative and curative process of TED, Krishnamurti and fear as a great diamond, the development of a media project -- INNERVERSE: The Journey Within -- as it's being created.

There is magic in storytelling that is raw and unfiltered. And there's a friendship beneath all of it. This is it.

Have you ever had to let something go, but scared of what may (or may not) come next?

A weirdly inner-inside episode, voyeuristic conversation with Bobby Bailey (soon to be father, social activist, Global Poverty Project & Invisible Children) who's my friend about what it might be to leave The Jake Sasseville Show podcast.

Two friends, talking about life, business, creativity and big decisions.

It's uncomfortably transparent, but something I believe: we all have fear about letting go what we're attached to. Even though I've done 200 episodes, I find myself feeling attached to letting it go. Even if there's something better beyond...

We use the brilliant APP Voxer to "walkie" each other back and forth, and share the conversations which were never meant to be public. Just enjoy the unfolding story of it all...

Why can't Sci Fi be real? In this episode of ideating for my new book INQUIRY, we look at Science Fiction and Star Wars and wonder why those ideas can't be right here, right now.

We discuss my one experience of time travel [I was reading "Parallel Universes of the Infinite Self] without a time machine, how healing relationships is a form of time travel and how each one of us is able to do it.

What if you didn't need a time machine, just a change in perspective?

DeRay Mckesson [@DeRay] first came to fame for being the outspoken leader of the Black Lives Matter movement in Ferguson, Missouri.

He quit his job in Minneapolis, making six-figures, to become what news outlets have called a "professional protestor."

His message has made police violence -- and him -- famous.

He is running for Mayor of Baltimore, the city of his birth and childhood and where he's initiated community programs throughout his life. And, although he's only at 1% in some polls, I've been inspired by DeRay, his focus and precision with activism, and was curious to have a heart-to-heart with him about where life is for him now.

There were some uncomfortable moments in the interview, but on the whole, I think it's a wonderful time capsule of DeRay at age 30, where he's at in his life and his vision for a city that needs one.

Thanks DeRay.

INQUIRY is a new book I'm working on based on the reflections of the last 5 years, and how anything I've experienced has been based on the quality of questions I ask myself.

Using these short episodes as a way to tease out topics I'm working on for the book.

Including today's topic which is the rules that we get projected onto us, or choose to live by, and how it creates our reality. I gave an example of a pretty huge breakthrough I experienced this weekend.

Open to feedback, I think you'll find it relevant. With rules ["get a 9-to-5," "go to college," "invest in real estate" etc], we put ourselves in a self-imposed box that we often can't remember putting ourselves in in the first place. Then it becomes double hard to get out of.

Enjoy the show.

Gabe Marihugh (P2). Brilliant interview with a turbo meditator I found in a garden on Maui. He works as a designer for big firms in the US, and has been asking a lot of questions in his 42 years. He shares some of those questions and what he's discovered.

We left off part 1 off at the second Dirty Little Secret of Culture. We talk about the rest as well as the solutions, caffeine withdrawals, Alan Watts, the silencing of the mind and the original meaning of the word "suffering."

Thanks Gabe.

Sure, Gabe Marihugh lives in a cabin on Maui. And sure, I took a class with him and three other meditators in a garden a couple weeks back.

Truth is: this guy has been asking questions and sitting in inquiry for most of his teenage and adult life and his meditations and workshops are some of the best on the planet for discovering self and place in the universe.

He opens his meditation session with a psuedo-monologue about the Dirty Little Secrets of Culture, how it separates us from our self, and offers solutions in this incredibly poignant episode. Beyond the non-spiritual stuff we banter about, Gabe is one of the best conversationalists I've met. [The best part is I don't think he even realizes it]

So today: Gabe talks being spiritual instead of searching for a spiritual life, what is the optimal way of living alongside cultural influences telling us we're "less than," the dirty secrets of culture, including how certainty is addictive and a mis-guided indicator for strong leadership.

Delicious.

Before performing in ensembles every night of the week, starting his own improv troupe (3Peat) and traveling around the country, Nnamdi (born to Nigerian parents) and his twin brother Amechi were soccer stars at the University of Alabama.

We discuss an artists's deep dissatisfaction despite success, transitioning from soccer to improv, diversity (lack of) in the Chicago comedy scene, what makes a bad improviser and just generally catch up. After all, Nnamdi, along with other Chicago revolutionaries in comedy, starred in a sitcom I had created and developed for ABC Family back in 2012.

INQUIRY is a new book that I'm working on in response to life imitating art.

What happens when goals aren't enough? As entrepreneurs, artists, change-makers and creators, we live in a world where Hustle is King and consciousness often takes a back seat to Ego. And yet, we're more disconnected and unsocialized as a result. What happens when you realize that goals are nothing more than ego and self-will trying to exert itself over trying to heal the past or control the future? What happens is you either push harder, create more goals and distractions, or, you let go.

When I was 27, my life fell apart. I became homeless and had to move in with grandma in Maine after living a first class lifestyle in the entertainment business. Yet also - I had achieved almost all of the goals that I had set out to achieve when I was in my early 20s.

So, my life didn't really fall apart -- it broke open to the real potential of life, not the fake potential that I was wrapped up in. What I learned over the next three years is the importance of the type of questions we ask ourselves. The quality of those questions becomes the DNA of our life experience. It's a process of on-going INQUIRY, and it's the nature of my next book.

This episode shares with you the beginning of that journey.

You probably know TUCKER MAX [@TuckerMax] for being a self-described "asshole, not the biggest one, just the one who's just willing to write about it."

In reality, the Kentucky born lawyer became famous for his "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" book (and subsequent movie, hear why Tucker thinks it tanked at the box office). What followed were two other best-sellers, making Tucker one of three (Malcolm Gladwell and Michael Lewis included) authors to have three books on the NY Times Best Sellers list at the same time.

Tucker is 40 now, and we caught up with him on his jog at his home in Austin, TX. Tucker is thoughtful, the author of "Mate: Become the Man Women Want," the founder of "Book in a Box" and the dad of 18-month old Bishop.

We explore therapy, what gives him fulfillment these days, what his early success taught him and how re-defining his personal brand meant letting go of 75% of his audience.

Thank you Tucker.

Ontology: studying the nature of Being. Frederick Dodson is an ontologist, and by all accounts, one of the most unique human beings to walk the planet in modern day.

He's slightly self-effacing, incredibly to the point, deepened without being preachy, profound without asserting his rightness over anyone else's wrongness. He's the author of 26 books, including many that have changed the way that I view life, including "Parallel Universes of the Infinite Self." [Strongly recommended reading]

In our conversation today on the program, Frederick talks about energy levels of Presidential candidates, consciousness and creation, the importance of returning to the place of being a student even as a prominent teacher, why he doesn't meditate any longer and so much more.

He's also the founder of RealityCreation.org and this will make you look at your life in a new way.

Douglas Rushkoff's work is a compass for a new world. A recovering theater director who's first book "Cyberia" got side-lined in 1992 by the publisher because "the Internet wasn't going to be a 'thing' by 1993," is the author of "Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus: How Growth Became the Enemy of Prosperity" which articulates this new digital economy, shows us how we can both grow (and stop growing) and still be prosperous.

He's part philosopher of economics, and part media historian.

"We think we need money to have an economy," is one of my favorite lines of the interview.

It spoke to me deeply, and I think will touch all of you entrepreneurs, financial folks, even artists and creators. It shows a new way of thought by understanding business and debt by going back to its roots in the 12th and 13th century. And, Douglas is a helluva entertaining guy to boot.

Powerful for our times. Right now. It will ignite something deep within you.

When does pursuit of genius get in the way of Real Life?

Imagine my surprise when, out of nowhere on MTV, I see a promo for "TRUE LIFE" featuring Topher Keene. Topher, friend of the show and childhood classmate of mine from Maine, has always been in pursuit of being VERY intelligent and proving it to the rest of the world.

This week MTV aired an episode of "True Life" where Topher uses brain-enhancing drugs -- Nootropics -- to ace a test that will prove that he's one of the most intelligent people on the globe. Girlfriend Amanda makes an appearance with him on MTV, and on the show today.

The episode got millions of viewers watching, and we asked Topher to stop by and do an interview with me and James Mccrae. Subjects covered include: Nootropics, Genius, Intelligence, When is Enough Enough and what's underneath it all.

Erin R. is a transgender man in the Pacific Northwest. Growing up as a girl, Erin first "came out" to her dad as a lesbian while she was in college. Then, in his mid-20s, Erin realized he had another coming out: as a Transgender Man.

This episode bravely explores Erin's experience as a Transgender man, the questions you don't often hear asked [or answered], how it has affected his relationships and relationship to the Baha'i Faith.

Consider this: Beyond all of us being human, the next level in our identity is whether we are male or female. Gender is beyond sexuality. It's beyond preference or biology. The issue of Gender goes to the core's core of who we are.

He came out of the closet (twice) and not only lives to tell about it, but shares insights and stories and anecdotes that are as hilarious as they are relevant to gay or straight people who are interested in growth, spirituality, personal development and being bold.

Today on the show, my dad.

After 160+ episodes, sometimes the greatest stories are the ones in your backyard.

At 39, my dad was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. I was 13, and my brother Alex was 10. It was an early on-set diagnosis for sure. (Michael J. Fox and Muhammad Ali also have Parkinson's Disease). He's had it for nearly 20 years and it's progressing.

When my dad was 41, Alex was diagnosed with AML Leukemia, requiring frequent trips one and three hours away from home respectively. It took a toll on everyone.

At 43, Alex died with my mom and dad by his side.

At 57, he finally tells some of his story.

I traveled to Maine recently to interview my dad in his life living room. Thought it was time to get the story on tape.

As my dad tells the story -- his story -- there is a sense of gratitude I hear from him for Parkinson's, for my brother, and for the strange unfolding of life. It's a lesson of living life on life's terms.

After the FBI found Sophia LaFleur and her children in India (she left for India during a custody battle in Salt Lake City, Utah), Sophia returned to the ashram for a one-year meditation.

The secret police were searching for her and her children. Sophia had shaved her head bald. The people at the ashram she was staying at agreed to protect her. Despite this, she turned herself into the FBI and went to Utah to face felony abduction charges. She has spiritual breakthrough after spiritual breakthrough and you get to hear it in this interview.

She was led to a twelve-month silent retreat in India. She discusses what she did, the food she ate and ultimately who she became (and a surprising awareness about the spiritual ego).

It is a remarkable look at a mother's love and a spiritual odyssey unlike any I've heard before.

Ten months later, the FBI showed up in India looking for her and her girls at the ashram she now called home. She faced felony charges for abduction.

The story doesn't end -- or start -- there, though. It's a complicated, weird, heart-felt and important web of a tale about a mother's love, the Mormon Faith, the FBI, arranged marriages, India, Salt Lake City and a reminder that we're all profoundly human. You will be riveted listening to this.

Layli Miller-Muro was named by Newsweek as one of the top 150 Most Fearless Women in the World. She is the Founder and Executive Director of the Tahirih Justice Center.

A 22-year-old law student in 1996 at the time, Layli was assigned to a case involving a female fleeing the Western African nation of Togo to escape forced polygamy and female genital mutilation.

Layli lost the case initially, but then it went to the highest court in the land and at age 23, won the landmark case for recognizing for gender-based persecution as grounds for asylum seekers.

A remarkable, heroic story and interview with a woman who's as educated as she is influential, and who's organization is defending the rights and honor of women worldwide.

This is a game changer.

Love. This. Interview.

Kae Engel-Teta is a car saleswoman outside Annapolis, MD. I originally interviewed Kae for the #SassevilleSunday show -- a more spiritual look at the world. But, with Kae, after just one question, it was clear the interview was going to take a turn.

You have to listen to figure it out -- but at its core, it's a story of love between Kae and Sal. And, how it all went away. It's the most raw, humorous, authentic interview ever done on the show. And the story is sweet.

Before meeting Sal, Kae was married to a US Diplomat and had four children. Still one of her best friends, her husband and her divorced. And Sal was a car salesman on the other side of town.

I can't share any more with you without giving away the story. You simply have to listen. It'll leave you laughing, thinking, appreciating life and crying all at once.

Thanks Kae Engel-Teta.

Sabin Lomac is co-founder of a company that is one of the top investments in Shark Tank history.

Cousins Maine Lobster, then a lobster truck business with a single truck in California, was co-founded by Cousins Sabin and Jim.

After receiving an investment from Barbara Corcoran, Cousins Maine Lobster franchised across the country, and just opened up a restaurant in West Hollywood.

Life wasn't always so grand for Sabin. A son of a single mom in Southern Maine with lots of energy and no outlet for it, Sabin was in jail (many) times and his Big Brother in the Big Brothers / Big Sisters organization saved his life. He now serves on the Board.

A wicked episode with a wicked human being, Sabin talks business, love, mentorship, following your gut and is entertaining as hell.

Thanks Sabin.

Human Rights and the Middle East are both important topics right now, and Parivash Rohani, who escaped Iran just before the revolution in 1979, is no better person to speak with about it.

At age 18, after her family's home was burned to the ground due to religious persecution, Parivash's parents hid her in her cousin's dorm room at a local university. Before ending up in Orange County, CA and eventually settling in Maine, Parivash escaped to India, where she met her husband and had her first child.

Recently, because of ill parents, Parivash went back to Iran -- not once, but twice -- despite the dangers of doing so as a member of the Baha'i Faith. An incredible story that will humanize the situation in the Middle East for you.

Brooklyn-based artist Kimia Kline is an incredibly successful painter. Her work is inspired by the execution of her grandfather in Iran for his religious beliefs. She and her family are on a secret list and if they return to Iran, they face capture and death themselves.

So, Kimia makes art about what she imagines her homeland to be, since she'll never be able to return.

Fresh off a fellowship in Detroit, Kimia's work is presented around the world. She's bucked the status quo ("that nipple is too pink" her art instructor once said. "I like it just like it is," Kimia responded) and earns a handsome living from her work. Her documentary about her grandfather was screen in several International Film Festivals.

More than the art, the way Kimia lives her life, accepts challenges and opportunities with ease and grace is something we can learn from -- as artists, especially.

O-M-G. Persuasion engineer & billionaire minded biz coach Bryan Franklin does our show as one of the first shows to talk about his new book with co-author Michael Ellsberg: The Last Safe Investment: Spending Now to Increase Your True Wealth Forever.

For Gen Y who see their parents and grandparents as "f*cked" (FACD - Financial Advice Commonly Delivered - in Bryan's book), this is a step by step plan how to carve out wealth, live a bigger and much more fulfilling life and build an incredible community in the process.

"This book could only be written after the crash of 2008. Because people wouldn't have been open to this radical new way of building wealth before then." - Bryan Franklin

This is Bryan at his best -- radically personal, incredibly insightful and the simple terms he speaks about money, wealth, finance and personal development in will activate you. Big time.

The former AFL football player and decathlete talked about a wide range of issues including family trips to see his brother who was in jail during his childhood, how his secrecy around being raped as a child caused him to lash out in other ways as an adult and what he's found is the common thread between all those who he's interviewed in his School of Greatness podcast.

Before becoming the most famous substitute teacher in the country this week, Kondwani Fidel thought he'd be a lawyer. That's because his grandma said he liked to argue.

Kondwani is 22 and earlier this week a student in one of his classes released a video of him spitting a poem he wrote about his childhood growing up in inner city Baltimore. His parents were crack addicts, his dad's in jail, his friends have been killed and his 75-year-old grandma believed in him so much she found a way to put him in private school.

This year, Kondwani graduated with a degree in English and returned to Baltimore to give back.

The poem connected with the kids in the classroom, and has been shared 3+ million times all over the Internet. We asked Kondwani to do an interview -- but what we found was more than a man who's poem went viral -- Kondwani is an artist who's life experience has set him on a path of contributing massively to the world.

At a time when the #BlackLivesMatter movement is filled with unrest and antagonism, hear from a guy who truthfully tells his story about what life is really like for millions of black lives and that all of them do matter. And why we should care.

Very proud of this show -- Enjoy, and thanks Kondwani. - Jake

Shed Simove is an inventor of products that have sold 1+ million units, a TV executive that created Big Brother in the UK, a best-selling author (wait till you hear how!) and an entrepreneur that is pushing us all beyond the limits of what we think is possible, plausible or necessary. And that's where the magic happens.

I first met Shed at a cafe where he proceeded to show me his inventions, including a flying helicopter with the word "FCK" on it (a "Flying Fuck"). During our meeting in 2007 (I was 21!), he received a call from the equivalent of the NY Times in London. Before I knew it, we dashed to the lobby of the Telegraph only for Shed to fly his Flying FCK around the lobby and get front page coverage next day.

And so it goes. While Shed won't admit it, I will: Deep down, he's a philosopher at life, and through wacky inventions and TV shows and entrepreneurial activity, Shed reminds us all what we're here to do: explore, dream, use our minds and be kind.

We met to make good on a loan he had taken out with me. But of course, as all friendships rich with history, layered with secrets and connected by love do, it ended up being about something else.

A murderer and jewelery thief, Eric Trules became fascinated by Uncle Harvey's life of crime -- and started to think about how when you're a black sheep cast out from the "normaltons" of society, you often have two ways out: the life of an artist or a life of crime.

At 104, Connie Sawyer is the oldest AND longest working actress in Hollywood. She's also one of the first stand up comedians ever. With almost 200 credits to her name and a 80 year career, she started entertaining audiences in NY and LA during The Great Depression.

As you can imagine, talking to Connie is pure joy, and a trip down 100 years of memory lane.

Before stand up and Kevin Hart existed, Connie was one of the first stand up comedians ever -- and only one of three female comedians -- to work New York nightclubs in the 30s.

In the 50s, she decided she wanted a family, so she moved to Hollywood and became a character actress, which she has done for nearly 60 years, in such films at Dumb and Dumber, Pineapple Express, Something's Gotta Give, When Harry Met Sally,and such TV shows as Ray Donovan, ER, Friends.

James Murray ("Murr") is the star and creator of "Impractical Jokers" on TruTV, one of cable's highest rated shows. This week is the "live punishment" on Jokers, so we thought we'd have a listen to James.

I loved my interview with him - he and his high school buddies (who co-star on Jokers) were a 13-year-overnight-success as the improvisational troupe: "The Tenderloins."

Murr was my head writer on "The Edge with Jake Sasseville" a late night talk show on ABC after Jimmy Kimmel. It's been a joy to see James pack theaters with the guys and to do so well on Jokers. He talks about the business of show, creativity, hustle, hard work and letting go.

Rosie Von Lila is the Head of Relationships at the Burning Man Organization. She first went to Burning Man in 1999, and has been coming back -- and now working with the organization -- ever since.

Rosie added “Von” to her name at the suggestion of her friend Tom. Tom and Rosie were riding bikes gleefully through the streets of Amsterdam. They were on their way to a surprise birthday party in Croatia. This seems to be how Rosie's life works out -- easily and effortlessly.

She talks online dating, 42 point data plans based on Amy Web's TED TALK, "Dating... a Love Story" and Rosie reveals what she feels like she's hiding in life.

Noel Biderman is the Founder and CEO of AshleyMadison.com. He's also my friend.

There has been a tremendous amount of controversy surrounding Noel since the leaking of more than 37 million pieces of information related to users of the site for discreet affairs.

Noel has always been kind to me, and when I've hung out in Toronto at the headquarters of AshleyMadison, what's remarkable is how much of a family business it appears to be.

Enjoy the encore interview with Noel.

Perez Hilton like you've never heard him before. Sensitive, reflective and dynamic, the former "Queen of Mean" and I finally set up a time to chat, after years of being mistaken physically for one another (although one of us is now a skinny bitch).

Perez talks about his dad dying, the struggle of being known for how he was as a younger version of himself and not being able to shake off the perception despite his own spiritual evolution, doing Big Brother UK, going to therapy, Oprah and much more.

PerezHilton.com and affiliated sites do 3+ million visitors a day and his media empire has been bubbling up for almost a decade. Fascinating to have one of the first internet gossip pioneers on our show, and even more interesting that he's much more likable and sincere than I expected.

Thanks Perez, Jake

@PerezHilton --> everywhere

We are a generation obsessed with building Community. From Summit Series, Airbnb, Coachella to Uber, micro-communities are everywhere -- even in our philanthropic work in the US and overseas.

Jacy Cunningham is the Head of Fitness and Movement at Summit Series' $40 million summit: Powder Mountain in Eden, Utah.

Brett Emmons, a former gambling addict and professional Broadway dancer, is head of internships at an inner-city non-profit that helps refugees and asalym-seekers get used to life in America. He is also a member of the Baha'i Faith and serves his Faith at a regional level.

Both of them have unique perspectives on community and capacity building and both of their perspectives came out of a lot of pain and suffering.

This episode is to help us understand why we crave so much to be apart of communities and what we can be doing to build better and stronger ones where everyone can thrive.

We hit episode 100! To celebrate, we have an episode on why we care about Our Roots.

Six-time Grammy nominated jazz singer Tierney Sutton, Graham Oxman, a Boston Geologist, and Karen Rocco, a talent executive and one of the first employees at Sirius XM radio, give us perspectives on our roots -- why we care about them and why they're important.

Tierney talks about the roots of all music found in jazz, and the importance of discipline meeting spontaneity in creative pursuit.

Graham talks about how humans think their roots are in their familial ancestory, but the story of rocks and geology tell a far different story.

Karen Rocco talks about the roots of funk, Howard Stern and in Sirius XM radio.

Happy 100. Thanks for listening everybody.

Dajiow, the popstar formally known as David Jordan, came up in the music industry at the same era as Amy Winehouse (they were friends, and signed by the same management company).

That also included a ton of drugs, a string of hit songs (Sun Goes Down) and access to pretty much anything Dajiow wanted. As he says "they kept me just high enough."

After the label dropped him, he spiralled. In the downward turn, he found clarity and a sense of spirituality he hadn't had before.

He picked himself up, and for the last four years, he's starred in the West End of London in a show called "Thriller." A thrilling journey that he shares quite candidly with me.

From being puppetered to not being able to deliver on the hits, Dajiow is one of the only artists I've heard speak so honestly about the inside of the music business.

Joe Hawkins' mom, Carol Hawkins, was convicted of stealing nearly $4 million from U2 Bassist Adam Clayton. She worked for and lived with Adam Clayton for more than 15 years. While Carol been spending time in prison in Ireland, no one from her family has spoken publicly... until today.

Joe, 24 at the time, candidly opens up about his mom and his experience -- from growing up alongside one of the biggest rock bands in the world, living in the same home-estate where the famed U2 album "The Joshua Tree" was recorded -- to couch surfing after his mom was arrested and convicted of 181 counts of theft, and having to learn even how to open his own bank account.

Intensely private, Joe shared about his privileged childhood, his spiritual nature, two-near-death experiences overdosing on drugs, why he's still playing music and what he really thinks about his mom. While Joe's story is incredibly unique, we all can learn from what to do when a world is turned upside down.

This is an incredible episode that took a lot of strength on Joe's part, and I hope you enjoy.

Vianna Stibal is the founder of the ThetaHealing® technique. She's rarely done up close and revealing interviews -- that is, until today.

Vianna is on the leading edge of spirituality and unlocking our understanding of the power of our minds -- and while the ThetaHealing technique doesn't come without its set of controversies, it's spread like wildfire in the past 18 years: there are over 300,000 practitioners worldwide.

Vianna talks about our ability to heal ourselves, how we all have beliefs and emotions that affect our dis-ease and illnesses, and through her techniques, she's seen physical and emotional transformations in her clients.

She and her team have recently re-located THInK® (ThetaHealing Institute of Knowledge®) from Idaho to Montana. She took her lunch break to chat with me.

Worth the listen for anyone who is or knows someone who is experiencing illness in their life.

I never intended for this audio to be released publicly.

Leah Komaiko did a private session with me. She's part muse, part brand strategist, part sage. I've been coached by the best in the world -- and no one comes close to the profound breakthrough that I made with Leah. It's today's show.

Leah calls Hollywood royalty, the biggest brands in the world, Olympic champions and hip-hop artists her clients. Her breadth of experience and ability to "see inside and under the hood" to reveal what makes you, your brand and business one in a million is a unique talent -- I just didn't expect it to be so personal or uncomfortable.

Zoe Nightingale's 'sexy' and 'sassy' brings grown men to their knees. It gives life to women who want to release their own childhood shame. Her comedy is recklessly acute, her intelligence is nearly lethal - and in recent weeks her podcast (which she's been at for two years) is blowing up.

Behind the brash tough girl Jew and mouthy DC-native, though, there is a humanitarian at heart that you ought to care about -- because she's emerging as a voice in our generation. She cares deeply about people and cares deeply that you care about them, too.

This show is all about Zoe -- the good, challenging and ugly. She is an almost perfect mirror to how you feel about yourself, so get ready.

Although few black gay men from the South ever talk about their sexuality or coming up in the deep south, the ones that do stand out.

Lawayne Childrey shouldn't be alive today.

When he was 4, he watched his cousin burn alive in a fire. When he was 5 all the way to second grade, Lawayne was molested. Diagnosed with HIV and then "full blown AIDS," he watched his lover die in the early 90s as well as heterosexual friends all around him. He then developed drug addictions and got into abusive relationships.

He was gone beyond repair.

And yet, he turned it around. This is how he did. He always believed in God and that his life had purpose. He's an Edward R. Murrow Award Winning Journalist who lives in Nashville. His book is: "Peeling Back the Layers: A Story of Trauma, Grace and Triumph."

James McCrae, author of SH*T YOUR EGO SAYS, talks at length about the process of writing his book, including moving to NYC penniless, becoming homeless in Hurricane Sandy and eventually hitting rock bottom -- only to realize that much of his suffering (and his incredulous thoughts that he was a fraud) was due to the ego.

From a beach in the Caribbean, the stranded wanna-be author started writing his book -- which became SH*T YOUR EGO SAYS. Two years later, James got the call just last week from the president of Hay House Publishing that Hay House would publish the book in 2016.

James has been called the "Eckart Tolle for the MTV generation" and his story is a great reminder of how important it is to create great art, to ship it, to stick with it and to live a life that is interesting.

Our (slightly off) Father’s Day episode! In 1996, Matt Sweetwood, the author of "Man Up" became a single dad of five children who were between the ages of 18 months and 8 years old. Matt’s ex-wife (and mother of his five children) left the house (in handcuffs, as Matt recalls). Apparently during one of her psychotic breaks, she tried to take Matt's race car for a spin. That, Matt says, was the final straw. She hasn’t seen the children in 13 years. Matt’s new book -- “Man Up” -- talks about becoming a single dad, not trying to replace their mom, different methods he used (including hiring two members of the Israeli military as his live-in nannies!!!) and others. Great, inspiring, Father-of-the-Year type story. The Jake Sasseville Show is co-executive produced by Vivienne Kelly and Gregory Stutzer. Produced by Dwain Doty.

Kenton Lee is an incredible entrepreneur who tried to sell his "The Shoe that Grows” to Tom’s, Crocs, Sketchers and everyone else. When no one bit, Kenton patented it, and started to fundraise. Then, seemingly overnight, his “Shoe that Grows” has become a global sensation. It's a shoe. That grows. And it's helping kids all over the world. Rarely do we get to have an inside peak at an entrepreneur as his company is just about to take off. His gee-whiz approach to business (he's from Idaho ya'll!) and contributions to human beings is inspiring. Also, he has some wicked business insight from the front lines. Enjoy, Jake The Jake Sasseville Show is co-executive produced by Vivienne Kelly and Gregory Stutzer. Produced by CC Hutten. Associate producers Kodi Seaton.

Garrett Madison was leading 14 people up Mount Everest when an earthquake shook Nepal in April. That earthquake also caused avalanches that decimated base camp and Garrett's only forseeable way out. He was at roughly 21,000 feet (almost a 4,000 feet above base camp) when the quake hit.

For the first time since being rescued off of Everest, Garrett Madison tells his story on The Jake Sasseville Show, including how he led 14 people through nearly three days of being stranded on the tallest mountain in the world and the untimely death of his girlfriend Eve, a medic who was stationed at base camp while Garrett and the others climbed to Camp 2.

A tale of survival, leadership, love lost and never -- ever -- giving up.

No words can describe how grateful I am that Garrett came on The Jake Show.

If you're an artist or consultant, Tracey Erin Smith (founder of SOULO Festival and kickass corporate consultant) will have you at HELLO. She's is an incredible storyteller! My most favorite interview this month and the most fun I've had in 100 episodes.

She believes that we should tell our stories more often, that it would heal our past and create a more optimistic future. She’s a super powerful corporate communicator who lends her experiences (like training Walmart sales people with English as a Second Language) into one-woman shows.

Enjoy,

Jake

Super-Entrepreneur RAJ LAHOTI is the “Online Guru” and Inc’s 30 under 30 (DMV.org & UnitedStates.org) who recently checked himself into a wellness center in Arizona to detox. We talk about entrepreneurship, why we didn't speak for two years, ego and a lot of other cool stuff. We laugh a lot.

We talked right before he was set to leave the center catch a plane home to Southern California.

“I was looking to feel better by doing something even bigger than I had in my work even with all the millions of dollars earned… I realized, ‘I want to be thinner… that would make me happy.’”

Locky Brownlie is Katy Perry’s lead backup dancer. He used to dance for Taylor Swift. Cue the questions. He could "feel the beat" in his body at the age of 2, and for much of his childhood he was the only boy in dance in his small town in Australia.

He now tours the world with music superstars and Broadway shows, and recently appeared at the Superbowl.

He sat down with me in Macau while on tour with Katy to talk about Taylor, living his dream and a few other things.

Enjoy it,

Jennifer Russell's powerful conversation about polyamory, BDSM, freedom vs. devotion (Paradox of Romance), money systems, belief systems and more left me breathless more than once. She’s helped thousands of entrepreneurs create 6, 7, and 8-figure mission driven businesses with a unique combination of business strategy and deeply transformative identity level work. She feels she's now at the center point of getting more women in roles that require them to be decision makers. She opines on how she would've coached the leaders of Occupy Wall Street to achieve greater results. She discusses the structure of her polyamorous relationship with Bryan Franklin for the first time. What a whirlwind interview! “Bryan Franklin and I have a relationship where we’ve been approached hundreds of times over people admiring it and wanting to know more…” The Jake Sasseville Show is co-executive produced by Gregory Stutzer + Vivienne Kelly.

Profoundly Human senior editors Emma Bracy and Mtali Banda, both who have written extensively on race, over-policing and the murders of unarmed black men fill out the panel.

We discuss how to move forward, things the public can do that are not on the ground, how a few hundred days and these arrests doesn't erase 400 years of oppression. It's an honest and real conversation among four friends who happen to also work together.

Marc Gafni is a controversial and remarkable spiritual leader and author of more books than I can count. He created the Success 3.0 Summit with John Mackey (CEO of Whole Foods) and Ken Wilbur. He invited Arianna Huffington, Alanis Morissette and Tony Hsieh to speak among two dozen others.

More than his accomplishments, Marc’s commitment to love, growth and expansion is what I found most impressive. He talks about the shared story of meaning and how desperately we need it.

Marc was a child of parents who survived Holocaust and he talked about how this impacted him. We talk about OUTRAGEOUS LOVE and how to LOVE OUTRAGEOUSLY.

Marc discusses the power dynamics in sexual and spiritual relationships and addresses the allegations of his own sexual impropriety over the years honestly and lovingly. Was touched by his openness. You will be, too.

Hip-hop Artist + Producer Gregory Stutzer has opened for B.o.B, Wale, DJd for Tyra Banks and corporate clients -- but perhaps his most meaningful work is his new single, "Let Go," out today, about the suicide of his childhood best friend, Mike. Greg is half black, half white, born in Tanzania, grew up in Kansas City and speaks to so many of who we are as dreamers, immigrants, artists and creators. He considers himself an “African kid with a white dad that didn’t know his place, but musically, the tribal melodies and exotic guitar riffs were imprinted on me.” The “Halfblood prince” moved to Kansas City, Missouri and got involved with crowds he wasn’t proud of. He talks Faith, music, mental illness and the suicide of his best friend. We debut the single "Let Go" at the end of the episode. Enjoy the show, thanks as always for listening.

(again, from Adam's mouth) And yet, he says, "I love it more than anything, because I can create. But I don't forget that it's ephemeral." Thank God for honesty and redemption. This is perfect for any writer, actor, director in the business or aspiring. We take a sober trip down memory lane on his various gigs, inside the insane world of writer's rooms and TV pitch meetings. and Adam shares the relevant pearls of wisdom and intimacy of it all. "I've seen more tears in a comedy writer's room than not." Adam shares on what it's like to work so closely with people like Julia Louis Dreyfus (Seinfeld, Christine, VEEP), Jimmy Burrows (Friends, Will and Grace, Mike and Molly, The Big Bang Theory, Mary Tyler Moore), Debra Messing (Will and Grace, Smash) and Conan O’Brien.

In fact, I'll be the first to say that Adam gave me my "big break," inviting me, a then overweight (350 pounds) local access TV host in Maine, onto the NBC set of "Will and Grace" in Los Angeles to interview the entire cast. It set my life on a whole new trajectory, taught me that anything was possible and created so much joy. Adam's credits include "Will and Grace," "Desperate Housewives," "Old Adventures of New Christine," "Suburgatory," "The New Normal," "Growing Up Fisher," "Kath and Kim," among other gigs. We talk about growing up in the same town in Maine, how our mom's knew each other and then we deep dive into the HOWs and WHYs of comedy and TV and the ins and outs of surviving in Hollywood for nearly three decades. Adam talks about "Will and Grace" and how all the actors originally refused the roles. Plenty of laughs and touching insight. This is one of my favorite, most profound and far-reaching interviews I've ever done. Proud and blissed out. Enjoy it.

Sean Stephenson may only be a 2-foot-8-inch man, but his global reach and message is undeniable. I asked if Sean would come on the show, having heard of him before from my friends at Summit Series, but never having imagined I'd meet a philosopher and psychotherapist all in one. Doctors said Sean wouldn't live beyond age 1 due to Osteogenesis Imperfecta (brittle bone disease). He's now 35 and proudly says "I've outlived most of the doctors that mis-diagnosed me." He willingly addresses my probing about his sex life and his marriage, addressing recent tabloid rumors that he's unable to satisfy his wife sexually. Apparently everyone talks about his sex life, but never to him. He was happy for the question. He has shared the stage and friendship with Bill Clinton, the 14th Dalai Lama and Tony Robbins. “We work because we’re trying to figure out ourselves… the best speeches I've given are the ones where I've gotten on stage and spoken to myself.” This episode is for anyone with any physical, mental or emotional handicap, and thanks to Sean, you can recognize that you are not your condition.

Nathan Otto and I talked about the trickiness of inheriting lots of money. Interesitng how shame often comes up around whether or not we work for something we receive, and how we deal with success (and failure).

Nathan co-founded Holometrics with Bryan Franklin, a company that measures an organization's alignment. We take a deep dive into corporate and organizational structure, leadership and how to engage with teams. Sounds dense, but of course, we made it light and Nathan makes it fascinating.

Tangentially, we talk about what makes a best friend, including play and pleasure, how Nathan deals with freedom challenges in his marriage and shame around money and receiving it.

Nathan's wonderful and I learned a lot. You will too.

“We are all already unified. We are the ones that cause separation. What’s happening is our pretense of being separate tribes no longer works because all of our borders touch each other.”

I found my interview with Laura refreshing. We talked about maintaing joy amidst rejection (after rejection!), had quite a few laughs and insights, too. For any actors, creators, inventors or those obsessed with the business of TV or board games, this interview is for you. Enjoy.

Alex Allman is the Founder of RevolutionarySex.com. Undoubtedly, one of my most awkward lift-off’s in an interview yet! Alex was gracious and made the ride a little less bumpy.

I started off with a story of multiple male orgasms sans ejaculation (something Alex is studying), and from there we steered into sex, sexual energy, shame and porn, what is man’s worst enemy when it comes to sex, and more. At the end of the interview, Alex gives (3) tips on how to re-wire any relationship you have, sexual or otherwise.

“Multiple male orgasms without ejaculation is like when a boxer who trains for years learns not to flinch when hit. It’s only at that moment of not flinching, that the boxer can really box.”

The Rabbi joins me today for a great chat about Religion, its purpose, our purpose, and how revolution in human consciousness requires us to get beyond the tribalist mentality. Loved the Rabbi. He's authored 23 books, one even on his addictions and recovery in 12-step program. Rabbi Rami has the most human-focused approach to Religion I've heard. He refers to Religion as Languages, and Judiasm is simply his mother tongue. Should be a real treat for you all to hear. “Religion tells us more about the worshippers more than the object of their worship."

Sarah Colonna on Chelsea Lately was always my favorite panelist. She seemed down to earth and relatable. Found out she was from Arkansas. Yup. Makes sense. Her interview with me was no different. We geeked out on pop-culture, about my appearance on Chelsea Lately and how Ross Matthews (Tonight Show, E! News) introduced Sarah to her fiancé, NFL Seattle Seahawks champ, Jon Ryan. Sarah is open about her thoughts about women in comedy, sex on the first date, love at first sight, dating an NFL player and the levels of stress she has with releasing her second book after the first one was a best-seller.

I affectionately call Dr. Lou Marinoff my “Socratic Shrink.” He is the author of “Plato not Prosaic” and eight other books, including most recently "The Power of Tao: A Timeless Guide to Happiness and Harmony."

He's a real Canadian (Montrealier) live-wire. He's a world table hockey champ and has theories about eliminating ADHD and bulleying from schools by instituting table hockey tournaments (as has been done in Quebec).

Twenty years ago, Lou forecasted culturally induced illness and getting in trouble for it among his peers. Now, people call on him as an expert in the area.

“People have an innate desire to be themselves," Lou said. "People can’t sleep, eat or wakeup anymore without being medicated. Sometimes what’s wrong with you mentally is that you’re not spending enough time focused on what’s right with you."

Non-Launch of ProfoundlyHuman.com. PROFOUNDLY, a news site we're starting alongside The Jake Show, was supposed to launch... twice... this week. We didn't.

In this episode of THE JAKE SHOW, I tell a few stories about Patience, an online dating experience and meeting someone after two years of "talking." Patience is what has brought me to detachment in the startup process, but also in life.

Truth is I make clearer decisions when I'm patient. I treat others better when I'm patient. I'm easier on myself when I'm patient. We've got this one life. It's worth learning to be patient.

Have a listen, and enjoy - Jake

"Australia's Tony Robbins," as I affectionately refer to Kerwin Rae, our guest today, is from Sydney and his organization has helped thousands of entrepreneurs generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue over the past twenty years.

Kerwin and I had a great chat on the show. His super model girlfriends, sports cars and millions of dollars all led to momentary happiness in his 20s. He's lost it all a couple of times, and each time, comes back with a stronger sense of detachment than before.

He talks about having a stroke in his early 30s, traveling to Peru for clarity only to find out his problems continued to follow him and how he sees life even clearer these days.

"Addiction was one of the most important parts of my journey early on because it taught me the power of resourcefullness," Kerwin told me.

A must listen for wantrepreneurs, entrepreneurs, innovators, creators or spiritual folks at any level. A real treat. Thanks Kerwin, and enjoy. Jake

Reza Salazar starred in “Law and Order” (NBC) twice before the age of 21. He was also raped as a young boy and took more than 20 years to talk about it. Now he does.

An inspiring moment for anyone who carries shame from their childhood and how Reza dealt with his.

In this incredibly heart-warming interview with my very best friend of more than a decade, Reza talks growing up in South America, where he performed as a clown alongside his mom from age 5 until his teen years.

By 13, he came to North Carolina as a trained clown, spoke no English but was just in time for high school.

By 19, he had guest starring roles in “Law and Order” and currently he stars in and writes plays in New York City, guest stars on television shows and does film work, too.

“As it relates to being raped, don’t try to forget,” Reza says. “Forgive. That’s been my job the last 29 years.”

Annie Lalla’s work in understanding love & relationships is reflected in her marriage to Eben Pagan. Her daughter’s name is Love Being (Eben’s idea, she swears!) and Annie is a love and relationship coach - one of the best, I'd argue.

We cover the bases and run the gamut together in this interesting, raw and odd interview that will engage and delight you. Annie candidly shares that relationships aren’t compromises, they are investments.

“Would you say going to a grocery store and purchasing veggies is a compromise?” Annie asks. No, it’s an investment, in your family or your health. Same with relationships. Relationships aren't compromises.

What I found particularly engaging about Annie is her deep sense of understanding on the areas she covers with an incredibly human touch.

Speaking of touch, she’ll share how she learned to invoice her clients in a more timely manner (and without shame!) by withdrawing $2000 in 20-dollar-bills, laying them on a bed and masterbating in the bed of $20s.

On Love Cynics…

"Every cynic is a failed idealist," Annie says. “I know there’s an ember burning in every cynic…”

On her marriage to Eben…

“I fell in love with who I get to be… to live into that, I have to grow, stretch and abandon my identity… I didn’t fell in love with my husband, I fell in love with the possibility to be extraordinary…”

Loving Annie Lalla. You will too.

Rosie von Lila is a communications specialist who works with CEOs to catalyze them into storytellers. She is Cultural Relations Maven for Burning Man, helping them grow the culture worldwide (which may one of the most interesting jobs I've ever heard of). I was perturbed by an email from Rosie to Mick the Producer, so I talked about with Mick, and then addressed it with Rosie in the show. What I discovered was an incredibly open and loving human being who has been transformed by the events at Burning Man. Worth checking out for sure. Rosie added “Von” to her name at the suggestion of her friend Tom. Tom and Rosie were riding bikes gleefully through the streets of Amsterdam. They were on their way to a surprise birthday party in Croatia. This seems to be how Rosie's life works out -- easily and effortlessly. She talks online dating, 42 point data plans based on Amy Web's TED TALK, "Dating... a Love Story" and Rosie reveals what she feels like she's hiding in life.

Charles Eisenstein is the author best known for his revolutionary book: Sacred Economics. He declines most all interviews. Ours he decided to accept. And I’m grateful for it.

He has a new book out, The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible.

Charles blew my mind. It is the single best explanation of the money system, consumerism, its emptiness and solutions of what to do about it that I’ve ever heard.

We talk about how interest bearing debt breeds the illusion of competition, which causes human beings to strive for power. Scarcity, including world hunger, Charles told me, is artificial.

He taught me about how the “space between stories” allows something new, unexpected and beyond imagination to emerge in life. Really powerful interview with someone that I think will be crucial in the next forty years and beyond.

“Reasons are really rationalizations or justifications,” Charles said, referring to why he was divorced, and chose to get married again.

Jam packed episode, enjoy it.

Stuart Knight is said to be "one of the best conversationalists" ever. Kevin Bracken (boy genius founder of Pillow Fight Day, Newmindspace and the newly acquired GymSurfing) told me I had to have Stuart on The Jake Show because it's almost as if he has "conversation down to a science." With a pitch like that, I was curious. Stuart and I got on real well. He's an internationally reknowned (and talented / funny) speaker. We deep-dive into our childhoods, Russian brides (minus the married part), his new company "The Powerful Group" and the impact and art of powerful conversations. We both grew up on Tony Robbins, talk about theism and atheism being opposite sides of the same coin, what it takes to be powerful in our relationships with others and plenty of humour along the way. Stuart tells me why he feels vulnerable around having a child, why he'll never get married and of course some friendly flirting. One of my favorite shows to date because of how real it got.

We catch up -- we haven't hung out in more than a year together. What follows is odd, insightful, interesting and humorous.

We talk spirituality and marketing, running a startup versus getting one funded, Ego, Presidential Politics and HuffPoLive, straws that break the camels back, best friend relationships that end and plenty of LAUGHS and INSIGHTS.

Enjoy!

Diane Badié is a fashion designer who took a right turn and a few detours after she graduated from New York University with a MPA.

She didn't go to FIT or have years under a mentor. She's designed clothes, much like she's lived her life: on her own terms. Called by Brooklyn Magazine "top 5 women artists to watch" Diane Badié apparel is bold yet wearable.

She's a sassy, lovable and determined artist and is one of my dearest friends.

I had her on the show because her life is an example to us all that even though our parents may have certain expectations for us, we still get to make the choice of how we want to live our life.

Diane went from a love of sketching design ideas in a notebook to launching several lines since 2012. Her design work is exquisset and she talks about the creative process, collaborating musically with her husband Mike Slott, and how she keeps the pure joy of design from burning out.

Kweku Mandela is the grandson of Nelson Mandela. He and I are both 29 years old and we're both men. That's where you'd expect the similiarities to end. Not true.

I loved my conversation with Kweku, who shared with me that beneath his grandfather's steely determination, Mr. Nelson had reservations about assuming the roles that were thrust upon him.

Kweku talked about the challenges in his relationship with his dad (something I identify with personally) and how he healed it. We talk about an incredible documentary film he released ("Beyond Right and Wrong") and how forgiveness in action is a big part of his life, based on what his granddad taught him.

Ironically, Kweku grew up in Amherst, Mass. before moving back to South Africa when his granddad became president. He became a filmmaker and travels the world. I'm impressed with how connected and rooted Kweku is despite having a last name that is globally recognized as a symbol of justice, equality and dignity.

Susan Blond is a legend. BFFs with Andy Warhol, who she told me was an expert in PR and publicity before it became a profession, Susan has represented Michael Jackson, The Clash, Joan Jett, Meatloaf, James Brown, Ozzy, Cindy Lauper, Sade, Tina Turner, Morrissey, Julio Iglesias, Boston, Luther Vandross and me. She was my first publicist and we would often attend events together.

People, she told me, are fundamentally fascinating if you give them enough space and time to talk. She talks about Michael Jackson's naivite and asexuality, what's inspiring her these days and what turns her on these days.

A class act, I loved my conversation with Susan Blond and am touched that she agreed to sit down and talk. If you want a glimpse into NYC nightlife and artlife from the 1960s to today and how popculture has become so damn popular, look no further.

Bob Fuller was the youngest (age 34) University president in US history at Oberlin College. He earned a Ph.D in Physics at 23. Although we're fifty years apart in age, we agree we're kindred spirits. We talked about what it means to become a somebody (Rankism) and then fall from grace (shame). After leaving the presidency at Oberlin, Bob became what he calls a "nobody." The phone stopped ringing. No one wanted to have lunch. Bob told me that as occassional nobodies, we must stand up and realize we have nothing to lose except for the shame that got us there in the first place. Then President Jimmy Carter called. Then the USSR. Then Werner Erhard. Life is constantly in ebb and flow. I loved the story of how Bob made history not only as the youngest president, but then pushed his board to vote 6-to-4 to authorize the first black head of athletics in history. Bob is in his 70s now, and the conversation and stories of the life he's lived is simply extraordinary. Enjoy Bob as much as I did. Jake. Bob Fuller: "Dealing with racism at the college athletic level felt like war. I thought that if we didn't win this thing, we won't win as a country."

Marcie Prohofsky has been my secret weapon in the boardroom since 2009. She's a powerhouse sales, influence, life and relationship coach. She's encouraged personal breakthroughs, helped me drive millions in sales and has a huge heart. Rob Nicholson x Marcie Monday. The first Monday of each month, I ask Marcie to come on the show and meet a new extraordinary leader or entrepreneur who's needing some help in a particular area of life. It's often deeply personal and vulnerable. Rob is no exception. This month, Rob Nicholson bravely faces the chaos of his family system. Rob co-founded a multi-million dollar business with his mom at age 20. His mom died, and through a series of unfortunate events which he explains, Rob's company was inhereted by his bitter sister. He got nothing for the company he co-founded, and now is trying to figure out why he's having a tough time charging for his services as -- you guessed it -- a family business consultant. Starting life over and unable to figure out how to make money. We've all been there. If not yet, we will be. If not with money, then with something else. Marcie Prohofsky: "All the u-turns in our lives are because the having of the things we want is actually beyond what is safe for us to have. It takes re-learning."

Prosper Ishimwe, 28, is a Rwandan genocide survivor. He's currently seeking asylum in the United States. He tells his story, the whole story, for the very first time to Jake.

The inciting incident, the propaganda and politics, fleeing from his home during a night time raid, seeing his mother for the last time, running from gun fire, scaling dead bodies, crossing rivers at night and the execution of his grandfather and cousin point blank in front of him. All before his 9th birthday.

And: the love, humanity and healing that comes when one has the opportunity to share their story. For the very first time.

In this episode of BTSZD, Jake looks at the GAP between when we desire something and why it takes time to come into our lives. That gap, he suggests, is where the magic and growth is. Minding the Gap. He talks about getting what you want in your life and how most human beings aren't looking for the shiny new thing, but rather a steady stream of beautiful things flowing through.

How does that awareness change how you live your life? Surrendering, he suggests, helps bring what you want to experience most in life into your today.

NBC Investigative Reporter Lu Ann Cahn was hired by the peacock network in 1987. She had already been in television news for almost a decade.

In this heartfelt interview with Jake, they discuss how they first met at NBC, why Lu Ann felt she had to start her life over by doing something new each day for 365 days (it's an activity that landed her a book deal, the book is called "I Dare Me") and how it reminded Lu Ann to be childlike and playful as an adult.

She talks about what many of us face: she was on a hampster wheel at work and while her gig at NBC is sexy and paying the bills, it wasn't fulfilling. Adults rely on experience rather than discovery. Jake and Lu Ann talk about surrendering as a way to start over.

A touching exchange between a woman who was one of the pioneers of television journalism and a guy who was barely out of diapers when she first started.

Susie Pearl (P2) has repped Michael Jackson and is working on the global platform for hallucinogens as healing substances with Ricki Lake, and everything in between. She is one of the rare ones - in the category of Russell Simmons and few others - who have been powerhouses in entertainment and then left it all for a calmer more meditative and reflective life behind the camera.

Susie led MTV Europe in it’s heyday. She was responsible for the MTV Music Awards, MTV Movie Awards and all related MTV-related festivals. She then built the top-3 entertainment agency in all of Europe, Kazoo PR, launching and nurturing big brands and big celebrity careers, including Sony, MTV, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Spice Girls & Victoria Beckham. She sold that agency and retired.

After her retirement, legendary hypno-scientist and NLP co-founder Dr. Richard Bandler asked Susie to run his global training program. She said yes, but not before moving out of London onto the sunny island of Ibiza, off the coast of Spain.

In this revealing two-part interview, the best-selling author of “Instructions for Happiness and Success,” discusses new age corporate management techniques, doing hallucinogens, living with her gay BFF in a forest in Ibiza, personal meltdowns and transformations, working with talk show personality Ricki Lake on exploring the frontiers for using ayahuasca to cure cancer, addiction and tumors, creating reality and death and dying process.

Susie was my mentor and has become one of my dearest friends and I think you'll find wisdom and hilarity here, as I do in our relationship.

In this powerful two-part essay (part 2 is next week), we take a deep dive into the areas of Intimacy, creative relationships, what we can learn from psychosis, the $20 billion anti-psychotic / anti-depressent / anti-ADHD industry and how mental illness could be a path onto higher spiritual awareness.

Accused of being bi-polar for many years by many different business partners and friends and finding that spiritual acceptance and love helped diminish his particular symptoms, this is an issue close to Jake's heart. We believe it's not being brought into the light as much as it ought to be, nor is it being celebrated.

In this episode which is a powerful expression of our collective humanity, Mark speaks candidly about the parallels, brute and unaccountable force by police in charge, what he learned from Nelson Mandela (who he lived one block away from Mark in the ghettos of Alexandra, South Africa) about solving the racial divide and why it's imperative as a collective humanity that we have this discussion now, instead of accepting what media feeds us. We must open our hearts firstly, and have compassion for those who have wronged us, secondly.

Mr. Jeff Dess and Topher Keene weigh in on student reactions, the "What can we actually do" helpless feeling and shifting how we see those who trespass us.

Stormy Simon is the 46-year-old President of Overstock.com, one of the only female presidents of any Fortune 500 company in the United States.

In this revealing and often humorous conversation with Jake, not only does Stormy discuss what she's never discussed before: rumors she was an exotic dancer and a murder trial that changed her life, but she is a shining example of a powerful woman in business and she shares the non-traditional approach she took to get to the top.

Her "school of hard knocks" education is colored by two teenage pregnancies, dropping out of college to be a single mom, producing and DJing for the top-rated country station in Salt Lake City and doing the best she could with what she had.

Jake and Stormy discuss how they met. Stormy was the first advertiser to buy over $100,000 in ads on Jake's first show on ABC changing the course of his life forever. They recall stories of doing a TV show together at NBC, only to sneak out of their greenroom and break into the Jerry Springer studio next door (and getting caught by NBC security). There is a long and beautiful history between the two of them.

In all, Stormy shares pearls of wisdom from the front lines of business as a woman who beat odds, doesn't take NO for an answer, is as fierce as she is loyal and who gives everyone the benefit of the doubt.

"The best teams don't always win," Stormy says. "Every player has a story, and many of my people realize I know and try to understand theirs."

In this week's Bitesized on The Jake Sasseville Show, Jake shares an article Huffington Post asked him to write just as gay marriage was becoming legalized in many states around the country.

In it, he shares how being closeted for most of his childhood, teens and twenties prevented him from recognizing that while not much changes when you come out of the closet, that everything actually does.

He talks about winning lucrative ad business from extremely conservative American brands (Denny's, Ford, Coca-Cola, State Farm, Overstock.com) despite his concern that if those companies found out he was gay that they'd pull the plug.

He also shares the techniques his coach Fred Dodson advised him on to come out of the closet.

Jogyo is a Grammy-nominated musician from Kingston, Jamaica but who spent his teens and 20s in New York City. His style borders art-rock and hip hop with an artisan showmanship akin to Lady Gaga.

One year ago at the time of this interview (July 2014) Jogyo was walking home from his friends Brooklyn apartment on a bright Sunday afternoon when he was gruesomely and savagely attacked by a deranged man with a hammer. The attack, which Jogyo shares details of in a loving, almost peaceful way, left him blind.

In this poignant exchange, Jake and Jogyo discuss the art of forgiveness, and how Jogyo wanted to find it in himself to forgive his assailant even as he was being attacked so that if he did die, that he would have died at peace. A lesson of tremendous compassion for us all.

While he's been left blind, Jogyo sees much clearer than most of us. He discusses art, the creation of music, his work with children and others with autism and a way of life that is compassionate and gentle.

Pat Croce, according to Success Magazine, made history as the only pro sports team owner to go from the training room to the boardroom. After selling his company, Sports Physical Therapists, for $40 million, Croce helped buy the last-place NBA Philadelphia 76ers in 1996. His first draft pick: Allen Iverson. He led the 76ers to their Championship game against the LA Lakers in 2001.

Pat openly talks with Jake about the legend that is Allen Iverson and the tricky management of the franchise between Iverson and Coach Larry Brown. He says if that Iverson liked to practice more, he'd still be in the NBA today.

Bold and unapologetically honest, Pat opens up about why his relationship with Larry Brown was never the same, his obsession with pirates and how piracy and exploration in the 1500s set the pace for entrepreneurship in this century, why his relationship of 42 years with wife Diane still works and the cultural similarities between Iverson and Harry Houdini (Pat owns half the world's Houdini artifacts and collection).

This is a an audio portrait of a kid that came from the streets of Philadelphia, dreamed big, learned how to negotiate early on and recognized (thanks to Zig Zigler) that enthusiasm and positivity could be the rule, not the exception.

At the top of the show, Jake & Cait talk about how Jake met Pat and Cait’s half marathon in Philadelphia.

Kevin Bracken left New York when he was 18 years old. He made good on a public promise in 2004 to move to Canada if George W. Bush were re-elected. Bush was re-elected, and Kevin now calls Toronto home most of the year. Part event planner but mostly a philosopher, Kevin is the instigator behind his global events juggernaut Newmindspace, founded in Toronto. He has produced thousands of events in over 200 cities around the world. His contribution to culture has impacted hundreds of thousands of people. With Jake, Kevin discusses his idea of the “urban playground movement” (a phrase he coined), how he and his team have evolved the rave culture and why it’s so important to him re-imagine how urban centers are used. He talks about the lies of Silicon Valley (he’s received venture capital funding for two startups) as well as breaking rules, causing chaos, marketing smartly and being genuine. Today, October 27, it’s election day in Toronto, and Kevin is planning an event called “Rob Ford: The Business as Usual Party” which celebrates the departure of crack addict Toronto Mayor Rob Ford. The fun starts at 9PM at Toronto City Hall. At the top of the show, Jake and Cait discuss Caitlin's desire to bring a third person (a second woman) into her relationship in the bedroom to spice things up and a meeting that followed with the $100 million founder & CEO of AshleyMadison.com in Toronto. The Jake Sasseville Show is produced by Jake Sasseville, Gregory Stuhtzer, Vivienne Kelly, Caitlin Engel in New York City, Christopher G. Keene in Massachusetts and Kodi Seaton in Washington D.C.

Doug Akin was the quintessential Mad Man. He co-founded the Mr. Youth advertising agency (which he later sold for millions), launched a restaurant in the West Village right near his apartment. His agency helped to define the social media revolution in the 21st century and continues making huge waves today.

Tara DeFrancisco is considered by many to be one of the greats of improv comedy this country has ever seen.

Certainly in Chicago, but all over the world, Tara has made a name for herself as a playful and insightful entertainer who Free Press calls the "funniest woman in Chicago" and Curves Magazine wrote is by far the "top 25 funniest females in the United States."

Early in her career after being cast out of 700 hopefuls, Tara followed in the steps of Amy Poehler, Steve Carell, Jane Lynch, Martin Short and others cutting her teeth 250 days a year touring with Second City. By 33, Tara had done over 3,000 shows.

In her ever candid, often hilarious and consistently vulnerable interview with Jake, Tara discusses Saturday Night Live, why she loves Chicago, the art of improv, taking risks, following her dreams and self-acceptance. She takes us on a deep dive inside her mind and heart and we get to explore what makes her tick, how she got so good and why she keeps coming back for more.

At the top of the show, Jake and Cait talk about the Men's Health magazine article slamming females in sports, Jake's childhood (and adult) closet obsession with Rosie O'Donnell and Caitlin's new film "A Long Walk to Forever," adapted from a Kurt Vonnegut Jr. short story.

Michael Simmons' father died when Michael was eight years old. That, he says, is why his life in business has been all about defying the odds.

At the top of the show, Jake and Cait discuss important lessons learned (and mistakes made) in building relationships in business and why Cait won't go with Jake on the Transiberian railroad from St. Petersburg, Russia to Beijing, China.
