  • For me, the most important way to find joy is to surround yourself with joy. Hoda is JOY. It's really that simple. Onc e she's done "talking the talk," there's no question in my mind that she spends the rest of her day "walking the walk!" She. Is. Everything.

  • Omg on the commercials!

    Waaaaaaay too many commercials on a podcast this length. Glad she has a lot of support, but build a freakin podcast before you go for the money grab. Enjoyed Olivia Munn, but the commercials became too overwhelming during Alfonso.
