Daniel invites Sam Cagle to his home to show off his pizza making technique. Sam left his corporate job to be a stay-at-home dad in San Diego, where a desire to start his own business led to him becoming the pizza influencer and pizza steel entrepreneur known as Dough Guy. Sam’s obsession with perfecting his recipe and technique has helped thousands of people make pizzeria quality pies in their home ovens and his own pizza received a top score from connoisseur Dave Portnoy.

Daniel gets his morning fix from Malibu coffee shop manager Amir Anvari. Amir grew up in Iran, then spent brief stints in Paris and Dubai before settling in California almost two years ago. He opens up to Daniel about his childhood in Tehran, making friends in a new country, and how he remembers all his regular customer’s orders.

Daniel goes into the studio with musician, songwriter, and producer Casey Kalmenson. Casey has toured the world as part of Gracie Abrams’ band while also releasing her own music as Little Monarch. Daniel and Casey compare their experiences surfing in LA, living on the road, and dealing with a bad stomach.

Daniel is reminded to get his affairs in order by Jill Schock, a death doula and end-of-life advocate who has spent her career guiding people and their families through one of life's only guarantees. A Los Angeles native with experience in hospice care and as a chaplain, Jill opens up about what a death doula actually does day to day, how she got into this deeply human line of work, the emotional reality of sitting with terminally ill patients — including those who choose to end their lives on their own terms — and what families go through in those final chapters. It's a conversation about death that somehow ends up being mostly about life.

Daniel sits down with Rodney Wallace, his son’s soccer coach. After a career that included an NCAA Championship, MLS Cup Championship, and a FIFA World Cup appearance for Costa Rica, Rodney has taken up residence in Malibu and started a rapidly growing youth soccer league.

Daniel asks endoscopy nurse Gabby Perez about what really goes on in the procedure room during a colonoscopy. After stints working in a veterinary ER, a NICU, and a med spa, she now works at an endoscopy center in Texas where she’s seen torturous colons, cancer diagnoses, and what can only be described as bad prep.

Daniel finds his seat across the table from flight attendant Anthony. The Arizona-based crew member dishes on the best and worst of passenger behavior, what it was like growing up closeted in Wisconsin, and why on a good day he doesn’t do any of the things he’s actually trained to do.

Daniel starts his day right with help from Winnie, the proprietor of his favorite donut shop. Her Blinkie’s Donuts in Woodland Hills has become a local landmark and a favorite among celebrities. Winnie talks about how she got into the donut business through her husband’s family, why she doesn’t mind getting up at 3am every day, and if she ever had a donut while growing up in China.
