Glenn Gershan has lived with cerebral palsy since birth. He cannot speak, and instead communicates by typing messages on his phone or through his computer. The format of the conversations goes something like.. I ask questions, wait for him to type or gesture his response, and then interpret that response out loud. The footage is 99% unedited and honest to the experience of sitting down with him. This was an incredibly unique and important interview for me. I understand not many will have the patience or will to absorb this type of content, but I had so much fun doing it! Glenn chats about what his "disability" means to him, his relationship with his mother, losing his father, dating, his day-to-day routine, etc. He's got the most affectionate reactions, and surprise stories like how he used to work on a porn set, gambling in Vegas, or meeting the Wizard of Westwood. Many things about this interview surprised me, and reaffirmed to me how beautiful life is in all its forms.

I asked Mark Ehlert about his suicide attempt of a gunshot to the head on September 12, 2004. We talked about the circumstances and his mindset surrounding it, and we went through the physical, mental, and spiritual recovery afterward. It's fascinating to me how one builds their life back together after such an incident. Mark shows an impressive level of self-awareness and tells incredible stories of the body, mind, and spirit's reactions to his actions. Mark is now a community activist, a mental health advocate, and a motivational speaker about suicide prevention.
