"So, I think that both the experts and the talent in other areas through their own unique platforms — whether they be music or acting or singing or something like that, they fall into both. Like you can be educated through their inspiration or there could be inspiration from the education."
Danica's podcast has been a hotbed for some pretty impressive names. From Jenny McCarthy to Matthew McConaughey, she has had profound chats with a variety of big names from different industries via her platform.
