Jill Louise Busby on Being Unfollowed: How many of us have the courage to face the friction that comes when we need to grow, but people want us to stay the same? You’ve built an audience as a “truth-teller,” but then what if your understanding of the truth changes? When you’re an author, artist and performer like Jill Louise Busby, creative growth is essential, but the community that first delivered your moment of “micro-fame” might not be on board. It’s a life challenge we all face, even if we don’t all do it publicly. Laura gets into all that and a whole lot more in her darkly funny and thoroughly revealing conversation with Jill. Then, we REALLY want you to check out Jill’s debut book, Unfollow Me: Essays on Complicity. It’s an intimate, impertinent, and incisive collection about race, progress, and hypocrisy, and was released in September, 2021 by Bloomsbury Publishing. Show notes: Jill Louise Busby: https://jilllouisebusby.com/ Jill’s IG: https://www.instagram.com/jilllouisebus

Rob Lowe: Rob Lowe joins the show to talk about his role in the new comedy series, Unstable. Lowe and his son John Owen co-created, executive produced, and star in Unstable together as the eccentric biotech entrepreneur Ellis Dragon (Rob Lowe) and his introverted son Jackson (John Owen Lowe). When Ellis finds himself in hot water, Jackson reluctantly returns home to save his father, and his company, from disaster. Lowe describes how the concept for the show grew out of his son ribbing him on social media, gets to the root of their creative synergy, and describes the process of putting together the show's hilarious cast. He also shares what it was like growing up in the now unrecognizable world of 70's Malibu, ponders the keys to a successful marriage, and reflects on the twists and turns of his four-decades-long career.
