Multi-talented doesn't begin to describe Jenna Davis. At just 21, she's already conquered Hollywood as the chilling voice behind horror sensation Megan while simultaneously establishing herself as a rising country music star.

Our conversation with Jenna reveals an artist wise beyond her years, having navigated the entertainment industry since childhood with remarkable grace. Starting in community theater productions at age 9 in Minnesota, Jenna recalls how a director first recognized her acting potential during a production of "Annie." With unwavering family support, she made the leap to Los Angeles at 11, balancing homeschooling with professional acting opportunities.

What strikes you immediately about Jenna is her refreshing perspective on rejection. "No's are no's for a reason, and yes's are yeses for a reason," she shares, explaining how maintaining childlike enthusiasm for each opportunity has been key to her success. This wisdom served her well when landing the role of Megan, which she originally thought was for a video game. Without knowing she was auditioning for what would become a blockbuster horror franchise, she created Megan's distinctive voice by infusing the character with sass and personality beyond traditional robot delivery.

The conversation takes fascinating turns when Jenna discusses her upcoming debut album "Where Did That Girl Go?" dropping June 27th – the same day as "Megan 2.0." The album title reflects her current transitional phase, acknowledging her evolution from child performer to adult artist. Growing up on Patsy Cline and Dolly Parton, Jenna's drawn to country music's storytelling tradition while incorporating pop influences from artists like Miley Cyrus.

Whether discussing the unexpected embrace of Megan by the LGBTQ+ community during Pride Month or revealing what fans can expect from "Megan 2.0," Jenna demonstrates authentic passion for her craft. Follow @JennaDavis across all platforms and mark your calendar for June 27th when both her debut album and the highly anticipated horror sequel arrive simultaneously.

What happens when your life gets turned upside down in the public eye because someone else made a terrible choice? Jen Sterger knows this reality all too well. Once known as the "FSU Cowgirl" who rose to prominence in sports media, Sterger's career trajectory changed forever when she became the unwilling centerpiece of Brett Favre's texting scandal while working for the New York Jets.

In this powerful conversation, Sterger opens up about her journey from being a young woman thrust into sudden fame to navigating the aftermath of a high-profile scandal where she was simultaneously victimized and vilified. With remarkable candor, she details how the very institutions that should have protected her – the NFL, her network, and the sports media ecosystem – instead treated her as the problem. "If you want to keep your job, be quiet" was the message she received time and again when attempting to speak her truth.

The turning point in Sterger's story came through comedy, catalyzed by advice from the legendary Norm MacDonald: "The sooner you can own this and make something from it, no one will be able to hurt you with it anymore." That insight led her to stand-up comedy, where she finally found the platform to tell her story on her own terms. As Sterger poignantly observes, "I think the most dangerous woman is the one with nothing to lose" – and through rebuilding her career independently, she's reclaimed her narrative and her power.

Sterger's message to women who've faced similar experiences in male-dominated industries resonates beyond the sports world: "What happened to them mattered, their stories matter." Her journey from victim to advocate represents a new model of resilience – not just surviving trauma, but transforming it into purpose and using it to help others find their voice. Subscribe now to hear this unforgettable conversation about accountability, healing, and the power of owning your story.

Ever wonder what happens to reality stars after the cameras stop rolling? Peter Madrigal shows us exactly how to parlay 15 minutes of fame into a lasting career with substance and vision.

After ten seasons as the steady, responsible face of Vanderpump Rules, Peter has transformed from SUR restaurant manager to CEO and founder of The Reality Network. With characteristic Gemini energy and entrepreneurial drive, he's building a media platform that's already home to shows like "Catching Cheaters," "Gown and Out in Beverly Hills," and "Hair Cult," with more original content on the way.

What makes Peter's story compelling isn't just his business acumen—it's his perspective on why some reality personalities thrive while others crash and burn. "I've always had my head on my shoulders," he explains, a quality that's allowed him to maintain strong relationships with industry players like Lisa Vanderpump while pursuing ambitious new ventures. His insights on what makes compelling reality TV—authentic relationships between cast members who genuinely know each other—reveal why the original Vanderpump Rules cast created "pop culture history" that new iterations struggle to replicate.

Beyond the business talk, Peter shares entertaining behind-the-scenes stories from his years at SUR, from celebrity encounters with Selena Gomez to Lisa Vanderpump convincing him to break his "dry month" for a tequila shot. He's refreshingly candid about former castmates (especially during our "Sip or Spill" game), while maintaining the diplomatic touch that's made him a reality TV survivor.

Tune in for a masterclass in career longevity from someone who's seen it all in the reality TV world and is now writing his own rules for success. Follow Peter's journey on Instagram @peter_madrigal and check out The Reality Network on Roku or at https://www.realitynetwork.tv/.

What happens when life suddenly forces you to reinvent yourself? When Jamie Lee Ruiz stepped onto the Super Bowl stage with Jennifer Lopez in 2020, she had no idea it would mark both the pinnacle and conclusion of her professional dance career. Weeks later, as the world shut down, this accomplished dancer who had performed with Becky G, Tyga, Chris Brown, and Pitbull found herself facing an unexpected crossroads.

In this deeply moving conversation, Jamie takes us through the raw, vulnerable journey of her transformation. The pandemic stripped away the constant motion of her dancer lifestyle, leaving her alone with uncomfortable truths about her relationship with herself. "I had no choice but to look at it and sit with it," she reveals, describing the intense self-love bootcamp she created to heal her relationship with herself.

The magic of Jamie's story lies in how she turned crisis into opportunity. When her intuition whispered that she should help others through coaching, she took a terrifying leap of faith—creating a simple announcement about life coaching services and "throwing her phone across the room" after posting it. This brave act began a profound journey that led to her current work as an intuitive coach, where she guides others through manifestation and personal transformation.

Jamie breaks down her manifestation process with refreshing clarity: identifying true desires, recognizing limiting beliefs, questioning if those beliefs are "ultimate truths," creating new beliefs, taking inspired action, and practicing gratitude throughout. "If I can live in a state of gratitude," she explains, "the universe is always matching me going, 'She's so grateful for what she has. Let me give her more to be grateful for.'"

What makes Jamie's approach unique is how she's integrated her dance background with her spiritual work. Rather than abandoning her past identity, she's embraced it, creating offerings like "Sacral Sundays"—spiritual dance classes for beginners focused on embodiment. "A lot of manifestation is about embodiment," she shares. "If you can't feel good and confident in this body, that is who you're being and that is what you're attracting."

Whether you're facing your own reinvention, struggling with limiting beliefs, or simply curious about manifestation, Jamie's journey offers profound wisdom about listening to your intuition even when logic says otherwise.

Danny Jolles takes Kayla Becker and Vanessa Curry on a hilarious journey through the intersections of comedy and acting, revealing how witnessing Kevin Hart's first-ever comedy special completely redirected his career path. "I went to NYU to be a dramatic actor, studying the Method where Robert De Niro and Al Pacino studied. Then I saw Kevin Hart perform, and the next day, I quit everything else to focus entirely on stand-up."

Currently appearing on HBO's "Hacks" as writer Nate opposite Jean Smart, Danny shares behind-the-scenes insights about his time on "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" and the surprisingly elaborate preparation behind his small but memorable role in Damien Chazelle's "Babylon."

The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Danny discusses his innovative stand-up special "You Choose" – a choose-your-own-adventure comedy experience where viewers select which opinions they want to hear him express. "I'm so proud of it as an artistic piece. Career-wise, we could call it a failure, but artistically, I stand by it as one of the coolest pieces ever made." This experimental approach to comedy highlights Danny's willingness to push boundaries while honoring comedy traditions, from Jerry Lewis to Dane Cook.

Throughout our chat, Danny demonstrates the quick wit and thoughtful perspective that's earned him spots on the nation's biggest comedy stages. Whether discussing the unexpected kindness of comedy legends like Bill Burr or revealing what it's really like working with difficult co-stars, his insights are both entertaining and illuminating.
