This week: new parent David Bizzaro, the Emmy winning puppeteer who's worked with The Muppets, Sesame Street, The Flaming Lips and the TERRIFIC new show Waffles + Mochi, which also stars Michelle Obama. And with that, OBM is now one step closer to Michelle O. Do you feel the energy? We do! Plus, Biz talks about the value of pivoting, the importance of self-care, and the perils of piles. Piles!
