Episode 01
Elec Simon
Emcee. Percussionist. STOMP performer. Still standing.
Elec Simon has performed on stages around the world with STOMP — but behind the spotlight, he was quietly battling physical injury, mental struggle, and a dark period that tested his identity and resilience. This is an honest look at what it takes to keep moving forward when the road gets heavy.
Episode 02
Ryan Watson
Emmy Award winner. Mandalorian. Proof that the long way around works.
Ryan Watson got fired from Disney, worked a string of unexpected jobs, and moved across the country before a chance conversation landed him an Emmy Award–winning role on The Mandalorian. Equal parts hilarious and inspiring — proof that the most uncertain paths lead to the most extraordinary destinations.
Episode 03
James Sang Lee
Four-time ISKA champion. Professional stuntman. Road warrior.
James Sang Lee drove across the country alone — no parental support, no safety net — to chase a dream most people didn't believe in. He took dangerous jobs, survived setbacks, and kept connecting the dots until they led him to become a four-time ISKA champion and professional stuntman. A powerful reminder that the most unpredictable roads lead exactly where you're meant to be.
Episode 04
Miguel Gallardo
Orlando Lions captain. USL Pro Goalkeeper of the Year. MLS broadcaster.
Miguel Gallardo left his home country, fought for his green card, and couldn't leave the U.S. for his mother's funeral — all while building a decade-long professional soccer career. Now an MLS broadcaster and Apple TV Spanish-language analyst, Miguel opens up about the mental battles and heartbreak behind the success, and what it truly takes to keep moving when the road is anything but certain.
Episode 05
Mark Ruiz
Two-time Olympian. Diver. Puerto Rico to the podium.
Mark Ruiz left Puerto Rico as a teenager, learned a new language, and rode the bus to practice every day while his mother worked to build a new life. Through sacrifice, discipline, and an unshakeable belief in his dream, he became a two-time Olympic diver. A powerful testament to what happens behind the scenes before anyone sees the podium.
Episode 06
Wil Milz
Nationally touring comedian. Foster care survivor. Found his voice at 30.
Wil Milz grew up in foster care, lost his father to alcoholism in 2017, and spent years in blue-collar jobs and call centers before finding stand-up comedy in his early 30s. Now a nationally touring comic with major festival appearances and sold-out shows, Wil sits down with Tina to talk about the road that shaped him — and why comedy isn't an escape. It's survival.
Episode 07
Tom the Mime
Mime. Mental health advocate. Face of the Cure Bowl.
Tom the Mime has built a massive public presence — but behind the performance, he's been navigating ongoing depression for years. A job loss, a breakup, and a cancer diagnosis all in one year. In this deeply honest conversation with Tina, Tom reflects on creativity, identity, and what it means to show up authentically when healing isn't linear — and how purpose and impact can coexist with struggle.
Episode 08
Josie NeJame
Founder of Runway to Hope. Emmy Award winner. Mom on a mission.
Josie NeJame went from childhood hardship and a failed shop to founding Runway to Hope — an Emmy Award–winning fundraiser for pediatric cancer that has changed lives and created unforgettable memories for children and families. In this deeply human conversation, Josie reflects on resilience, purpose, and balancing ambition with motherhood as a mom of two girls.
Every road has a story worth telling. If you've walked through something hard and come out the other side — Tina wants to hear from you.
