Ryan Weiss host of "Waking Up with Ryan"

"I want my daughter to have that kind of compassion when someone's being mean or rude."

Welcome Ryan Weiss:We're joined on the Starline by a father, partner, teacher, podcaster and former Broadway star. His latest project is a daily podcast, “Waking Up with Ryan”. We welcome Ryan Weiss.

Ryan, let's go Beyond the Mic. You've said, "It was never about becoming someone new. It was about letting go of who I thought I was." That's a pretty different pitch than most of the wellness world makes right now. Why'd this show need to exist at ten minutes a day, instead of one more long conversation?

So, what’s happiness to you now?

Sophia Bush, Gerard Butler, LeAnn Rimes are lined up for the long-form side of this. What do you actually want to find out from them, that a magazine profile will never get to?
