About You Can't Make It Up

Everyone has a story and every story matters. Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to meet so many interesting people who all have a unique story to share. This isn’t a show just about their stories, but about the stories that have also shaped me. Stories that you just can’t make up.

   Season 2, Episode 4 - Determination

   This week, I’m sharing a huge personal milestone: I’m officially running the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon! Learn my "why" behind this race. And it's rodeo time in Houston, but the animals aren't just inside NRG stadium or in the barns at the livestock show. Apparently rodeo officials and law enforcement are rounding up human beings acting like wild animals at the carnival. You can't make it up!

Plus, an update on the resilient bald eagles, Jackie and Shadow, and their brand-new eggs in Big Bear Valley.
