You won't want to miss a single word of what this charming man has to say. ~ Delilah See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The last guest I had in my recording studio before the Covid curtain fell, was the insanely talented and twice as charismatic, Richard Marx. That was waaaay back in January of 2020, and today we're finally getting another chance to get caught up with one another. Richard has a new TWENTY TRACK album out, "Songwriter" that features 5 tracks from 4 different genres, pop, rock, country, and ballads. We'll get some inside info on how it all came together, as well as what it's like collaborating with Richard's talented trio of sons he fondly refers to as "the Marx brothers". You'll love every minute of our conversation - come on in! ~ DelilahSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

My guest, Laura Geller, and I are celebrating women today - and mature women especially! Laura Geller's line of beauty products is specifically formulated for women over the age of 40 (while used and loved by all ages!). She began her career as a theatrical make-up artist in New York City and soon had her own beauty and cosmetics boutique in Manhattan. Her decades of serving women of all ages and stages has helped her to build a signature line of beauty products that meets the needs of women too often undervalued. (But no more!) It's a great story I know you're going to love.  October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we're taking the opportunity to encourage all you ladies to go get your girls checked! Early detection is key!!!  ~ Delilah See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Heeee's back! The man, the legend, the incredible, Michael Bublé! Michael is packing concert venues on his "Higher" tour, after recently releasing a whole new LP of the same name. He's got some fun new partnerships with Dancing With The Stars legend, Derek Hough, a brand new baby girl, and he tells us about a business venture his sweet wife talked him into - Dog For Dog - that helps out our furry companions.  Michael takes a break to talk with us about the IMPORTANT stuff! How we all have the power to change a life simply by being KIND. It's one of the most genuine, heart-to-heart conversations you could ever be a part of, so waste no time - listen now! ~ DelilahSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How blessed I was recently to meet Chef Dino Redzik. He serves up the finest meals along with an abundant helping of food for the soul. His personality fills the room, his joy radiates in all directions, and he inspires everyone caught in his light to go forth and do great things.  I so enjoyed my time with him at Paul's On Times Square that I simply had to bring him aboard the podcast and share him with you. Have a seat at the table, his story is a feast for the spirit! ~ DelilahSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Family is what today's podcast guest stands for. Glen Meakem, Founder and CEO of a brilliant company called FOREVER shares how he was inspired to find a solution to his family's quandary of precious photos, film, and video that was stored haphazardly, inaccessible, and in danger of being lost. (Sound familiar?) His solution spawned a whole new business venture. FOREVER provides PERMANENT digital storage for all our precious memories and memorabilia so they can be enjoyed by friends and family now - and generations into the future.  Intrigued? So was I! That's why I invited him to tell the story. Join us! ~ DelilahSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Singer/Songwriter, Matt Nathanson, is my guest on this episode of LOVE SOMEONE! His blend of folk and rock & roll, with meaningful, relatable lyrics, appeals to a wide wide audience. He's newest LP, "Boston Accent" was recently released and we'll be dishing on it, as well as an upcoming tour, the lessons learned during the pandemic, and how things you used to run from in your youth, you find yourself running toward once older. (While lamenting the parenting of sassy (but lovable!) pre-teens.)  It's a fantastic conversation that's only missing one thing, YOU! Come on in!  ~ DelilahSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Young, fresh, and fabulous, James Bay joins me today on LOVE SOMEONE to talk about his new babies; daughter Ada, and a brand new album titled "Leap".  We laugh ironically at how both of us thought the pandemic would be a few weeks worth of inconvenience... and how it turned into so much more. That it fostered the creative process in James and led to another whole body of work is one of the positives.  Join us for a delightful chat and get to know the charming, but very down-to-earth, James Bay. ~ Delilah  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today he may be known as the king of the artificial Christmas Tree, but Mac Harman, founder of Balsam Hill, (makers of the most realistic faux Christmas trees available) is so much more! He's an entrepreneur who exemplifies the Christmas sprit all the year through  by recognizing the importance of GIVING BACK - which he and Balsam Hill do, over and over and over again. Join us for a little Christmas in July! ~ Delilah See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Several million people, myself included, I fell in love with today's podcast guest around the same time - when a poem he wrote and published to his Facebook page went viral. It began, "my brain and heart divorced a decade ago over who was to blame about how big of a mess I have become.."  and we could all relate.  This father of three and stand-up comic had turned to writing some years earlier to try and sort out the tsunami of anxious thoughts that threatened to overtake him and carry him out into a sea of defeat. It worked. Kind of. It's a work in progress. But there IS progress. For him. For me. For countless others who have discovered his work. Please join John Roedel and me today. He's amazing! ~ Delilah See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At the tender age of 9, Kelly Rowland formed a musical group with her friends that in a few year would be known the world-over as "Destiny's Child". That was in 1990, and Kelly is all grown up now with a successful solo career in music, fashion, acting, directing/producing, and recently, writing. Her children's book, "Always With You, Always With Me" was just released.  She's also a loving partner to her husband, a doting mamma of two young boys, and active in numerous causes that aim to make life better for her community and the world.

If he'd had 5 more minutes to think about it, the Goo Goo Dolls would have a different name, so frontman and guitarist Johnny Rzeznik tells me. I'm glad he didn't, it's so much fun to say! He's with us today sharing info on the upcoming summer tour, the "angsty" music on a soon-to-be released new album, and the importance of showing up for his young daughter, being the "big person" he wishes he'd had in his life. Authentic, kind, insightful - I loved getting to know the real John Rzeznik and so will you! ~ Delilah See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A new hit single, a whole new album, and an upcoming summer tour are just a few things that my friend, Pat Monahan of Grammy Award winning rock group, Train, is going to be telling us about on today's episode of LOVE SOMEONE. "AM Gold" is now out and climbing the charts, and the album of the same name will drop in May! Oh my gosh, you guys, it is sooooo good!!! While their wine label, "Save Me, San Francisco Wine Co." and the organization it supports, Family House, is also newsworthy. Climb aboard for this super fun conversation! ~ Delilah See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Impactful author, Mitch Albom, comes alongside today with some powerful messages of hope and healing. His last two books, "Finding Chika", and, "The Stranger In The Lifeboat", are inexorably tied, the first about the grief of losing his daughter, and the second, about healing. The drifting lifeboat a metaphor for desperation, of crying out to God for help, (and demanding the cry be answered with the swiftness and accuracy of a fast food order). Mitch and his wife, Janine, have dedicated their lives to caring for the forgotten children of Haiti, where they met Chika. He had only one request today, that I introduce my listeners to Have Faith Haiti Mission (www.havefaithhaiti.org) on the chance that your hearts too may be touched. ~ Delilah See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
