  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Joy 101: Ariana DeBose
Q: How do you start and end your day to stay grounded and joyful?
I begin by waking, taking five deep breaths, grounding my feet, and doing a daily ritual with a stone; in the evening I enjoy walks at sunset and tea, avoiding electronics to stay in tune with nature.
Joy 101: Ariana DeBose
Q: What was it like being offered roles after the Oscar, and how did you navigate opportunities that didn't align with your artistry?
I noticed that many offers were limiting or typecast based on identity; I learned to seek projects that align with my broader artistry, not just immediate recognition, and to pursue roles that expand my range beyond stereotypes.
Joy 101: Ariana DeBose
Q: So you went on to be Tony nominated and win an Oscar. At that moment, why did you continue in the face of fear and uncertainty?
Because I knew I was good, and I listened to my instincts that this new path could offer greater growth, even if it meant stepping away from a comfortable or familiar room.
Joy 101: Jefferson Fisher
Q: How can someone effectively bring up a difficult topic with a coworker or loved one?
Start with I statements to own your feelings, acknowledge distance or misalignment, and express readiness to listen; anticipate the other person's perspective and invite a joint exploration of solutions.
Joy 101: Henry Winkler
Q: What did it feel like to be the Fonz and then to face career quiet after that success?
He explains the struggle after the fame, the belief that he was not hired, and how a shift to writing and later Barry changed his trajectory.
