What’s Your Story, Nina Waters? From community builder to redefining purpose after retirement
In this warm, funny, and deeply reflective episode, Jaime and Stan sit down with Nina Waters — longtime nonprofit leader, former president of a major community foundation, and a woman navigating what it really means to start again after retirement. From growing up in Pittsburgh in a tight-knit Italian family, to a decades-long career serving at-risk youth and leading large-scale philanthropy, Nina’s story is rooted in service, relationships, and resilience. Now living in the mountains of North Georgia, she opens up about identity beyond work, making friends later in life, marriage that lasts decades, and learning how to slow down — without losing purpose. This conversation is honest, humorous, and quietly profound — a reminder that reinvention doesn’t stop just because the résumé does.

What’s Your Story, Kevin Briggs? The Highway Patrolman Who Talked Hundreds Back From the Edge
In this powerful and deeply human episode, Jaime and Stan sit down with Kevin Briggs — the former California Highway Patrol sergeant whose steady voice, calm presence, and incomparable empathy helped guide hundreds of people away from suicide attempts on the Golden Gate Bridge. What begins with humor and lightness quickly opens into one of the most candid, courageous conversations in our show’s history. Kevin shares the traumas he survived long before he ever put on a uniform — childhood abuse, cancer at age 20, traumatic brain injuries, and the emotional toll of decades in law enforcement — and the unexpected path that led him to become a global voice for suicide prevention and mental health advocacy. Through raw honesty, hard-earned wisdom, and a surprising amount of humor, Kevin reminds us that courage is not only found in heroic acts — but in simply choosing to stay.
