Ian Somerhalder on Producing Kiss The Ground, Climate Change, and The Launch of Brothers Bond
Although you may know Ian Somerhalder as Damon Salvatore from Vampire Diaries or Boone from Lost, he’s actually embarking on his most passionate endeavors to date as an environmentalist and humanitarian. He executive produced the environmental documentary KISS THE GROUND, which landed on Netflix in September 2020, and focuses on raising awareness and education on the positive impacts of regenerative farming for climate change. And just this weekend, he launched Brothers Bond, a bourbon company, with Vampire Diaries co-star Paul Wesley as an ode to their bourbon drinking days on the show. The company did a pre-sale which shattered records and a portion of the proceeds will go toward regenerative farming practices and combating climate change. In this episode, Ian tells us all about his new chapter, why he needs everyone to watch Kiss The Ground, and how he started a business with purpose and passion.

Carly Stein is the founder of Beekeeper’s Naturals, a company on a mission to reinvent your medicine cabinet with natural remedies from bees. After having chronic tonsillitis her whole life and a series of health scares that couldn’t be helped through traditional antibiotics, Carly discovered bee propolis, a compound produced by bees and known for its healing abilities, that completely healed her overnight.

Today, Beekeeper’s Naturals is committed to providing the cleanest, most powerful solutions to modern health issues - like brain fog and scratchy throats - through using unique remedies from the beehive, like royal jelly and propolis. They’re loved by celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Lily Collins, are sold in Targets and Whole Foods nationwide, and Carly’s landed a spot on the Forbes 30 under 30 list. In this episode, Carly gives us Hive 101 and takes us through all the beneficial compounds found in the hive (no, we’re not just talking about honey!), how she turned how passion for beekeeping into a company, and how you can play a role in saving the bees.

Jordan Firstman Reflects on His Breakout Year, Writing for Big Mouth, and Navigating Viral Fame
If you’ve been on social media in the past year, chances are you’ve been sent a Jordan Firstman skit. From banana bread’s publicist, to the guy who thinks life isn’t that much different in quarantine, to the management team behind the fly that infamously tormented Mike Pence, Jordan’s skits made our cringiest clichés into something we could all laugh at together (and single-handedly got us through quarantine). But behind the Instagram fame, Jordan’s a triple threat. He’s an actor, writer, and producer who’s worked on shows like Search Party and Big Mouth. He’s also written and starred in his own short called Call Your Father. When it comes to Hollywood, Jordan’s just getting started. In this episode, Jordan talks to us about the road to becoming a multi-hyphenate in entertainment, the cost that comes with viral fame, and how he’s ready for a second act that takes him off our phone screens and onto the silver screen.
