Roz reflects on his journey from growing up in a small town and landing an early opportunity with The Howard Stern Show to building a decades long career in Canadian entertainment, including ET Canada and The Roz & Mocha Show. He shares what he's learned from interviewing some of the biggest names in entertainment, his relationship with Mocha and how the media industry changed with the rise of social media. He also opens up about his father's journey to sobriety, losing his dad, processing grief while writing his memoir and how those lessons now influence the father he is to his daughter, Roxy. Roz also shares his perspective on raising a teenager around social media, dealing with online criticism and why the things you love most in life don't necessarily need to be your job. It's a funny, personal and thoughtful conversation about reinvention, loss, fatherhood, career longevity and building a life that means more than what you do for work.
