Creator's Challenge: Awkward in Public
Have an improvised conversation with a friend where you say the most awkward thing and "yes and" and go along with the conversation, trying not to break.

Bio & Intro
My guest, Tehran, is a comedian, actor, and entertainer. Tehran has a residency at the Laugh Factory on Sunset in Hollywood. Tehran was born in DC but named after the capital of Iran. He leans in to his 1/2 Black 1/2 Persian background in his comedy. He has his law degree and a background in economics and political science, so his comedy on racial relations is incisive and inclusive. Tehran is a TV and radio host. He has also acted in several film projects including Dane Cook's American Typecast which I really enjoyed. He regularly tours with with Maz Jobrani. I caught them recently at Flappers, and Tehran's comed pulls audiences with the light jokes teasing the bro in the front row and then makes us rethink core assumptions about the Mideast Crisis in the next breath. He inspires me with how he devotes a lot of energy to shows and tours with a focus on world peace and uniting people together through laughter.

Creator's Challenge: Self-Love List
Write down 5 things that you truly love about yourself that are unique to you and make you special

Bio & Intro
My guest John Mason is a TV host, sportscaster, and actor. He is going to be hosting all of the Major Comps and fronting the Content for World Aquatics, including the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in less than a month!

John grew up in Australia, and began his career in London when he was scouted on the street to be one of those famous Abercrombie models. But his career soon widened into hosting. His time as the face of international swimming began in 2016 when he stepped in at the last minute to host the European Aquatics Championships at the London Aquatic Centre.

He has continued on to host the biggest events in the world for Eurosport, BBC Sport, Channel 5 and FINA TV including, the European Championships, World Championships, Commonwealth Games, and Diving World Series. He is also a fierce CrossFit athlete himself, and an advocate for LGBTQI visibility and human rights. John is a radiant light who elecrifies a crowd and generously makes everyone he interviews feel like they are the only person in the world.

I've been lucky enough to be an athlete in and attend events he was hosting (not the Olympics) and he has that magic touch of making an event feel like the most exciting party you could be part of.
