Ep 99 - Passion is the Key: Doug Dietz, Co-Host of The Good, The Bad, and The Sequel Podcast

In today's episode you'll learn one of the most valuable skills you can ever learn: bringing passion to every area of your life! 

Doug Dietz is a podcaster from New Jersey and is the host of "The Good, The Bad, and The Sequel".  Doug has interviewed over 150 folks in Hollywood, including ones in front of and behind the camera, and reviewed over 85 sequels with his co-host, Jamie.

Notable guests include Eric Roberts, William Sadler, Vanessa Angel, Lance Kinsey, and more.  He also has helped Actor Larry Hankin put together his memoirs over the course of the last 3 years and the book comes out in Winter 2023.  Doug loves sequels, but what he loves most is his family; his wife Jaime, daughter Emerson, and 2-month-old son Jack.  A saying Doug's late father always said that stuck with him was, "Why bother trying anything if you aren't going to give 110%?" That has been the driving force for Doug during his podcasting journey.
