  • Richardlistens with Actor and Director Jaime Zevallos

    Born in Lima, Peru, Jaime Zevallos moved to New York at the age of three and grew up in both Queens and Great Neck, Long Island prior to moving to Los Angeles 

    Jaime's artistic side was evident from an early age, and he spent his teenage years as an infamous street artist. He started his acting career in New York while studying acting at HB Studio and film at C.W. Post Long Island University, and he got his first 'break' in Spike Lee's "Summer of Sam."

    While on vacation in Los Angeles, Jaime auditioned for Michael Eisner and ended up booking a Series Regular role on the show, "Sam Has 7 Friends." Needless to say, Jaime's vacation turned into an official relocation, as he continued to book roles in films and various television shows, including "House M.D.", "Leverage", "Southland", "Sons of Anarchy", "American Horror Story", "The Bridge", and "Animal Kingdom." And most notably Marvel’s Cloak and Dagger. 

    Jaime also wrote, directed, and starred in "Me You and Five Bucks" which had a limited theatrical run and won numerous film festival awards.

    His work on the stage has been featured in the LA Times, including his roles at the Sacred Fools Theatre Company, The Actor's PlayPen, and CASA0101, run by Josefina Lopez.

    Jaime was named "one of the 25 most influential Latinos in Los Angeles" by Latino Leaders Magazine. He spends his time between New York and Los Angeles.

  • Richardlistens on Ultimate Frisbee with Jeffrey Landesman

    Jeffrey Landesman started playing ultimate and freestyling in 1978 as a Junior in High School in NYC. That year his team CPI (Central Park Independent) won the NY State Championships. In 1979 he enrolled as a freshman at Pitzer College in Claremont, CA. He had been recruited to play soccer but had become so obsessed with ultimate that he never showed up on the soccer pitch. Instead, Jeffrey founded the Pitzer Braineaters, a team still in existence 42 years later. He did compete in some freestyle tournaments, including Indian Summer 1979, however, his love and passion for ultimate superseded his freestyle career.

  • Life after Melanoma - Choosing life with Kevin Roth

    Kevin Roth began to play the dulcimer in 1972 at the old age of thirteen, and at sixteen recorded his first album for Folkways / Smithsonian Folkways Records, which immediately launched him into international fame. Between 1974 and 1984 Roth recorded ten albums with this label, establishing himself as a prominent folk singer and dulcimer player. In 1984, Roth performed the theme to the PBS-TV children’s show Shining Time Station, which brought him to another new and much larger market. His friendship and collaboration in 2006 with Noel Paul Stookey, of the legendary folk trio Peter, Paul & Mary, further cemented Roth in American folk history. His career took him to a concert and symphony stages around the world, to festivals, radio, television shows, and two appearances at the White House. 

    As his career grew, Roth became professionally and financially successful, winning numerous awards and partnering with prominent companies such as Sony, National Geographic, PBS, Random House, and Time Warner. Then came a sudden diagnosis of Melanoma, and it changed his life. He had a choice to accept a death sentence or to live. He chose life. Through adapting and combining techniques from his music and performance practice with others that he researched, he found a simple and powerful method to change how he lived. Roth discovered how to not just survive but to become truly happy and thrive. 

    Roth now guides individuals and groups in the discovery of what really matters to them, how to accomplish their goals, and how handling stress is an essential factor in a healthy life.
