In this exclusive celebrity interview podcast, we sit down with some of the most beloved CBS daytime stars—legends whose performances have defined soap operas and daytime TV history. Beyond their Emmy-winning roles, we explore the personal stories, humanitarian missions, and transformative travel experiences that have shaped their lives off-screen.

Each episode goes beyond the scripts and storylines to reveal how these celebrated actors are building legacies that matter—through advocacy, philanthropy, and global impact. Alongside tales from their award-winning careers, they share candid reflections on the life-changing journeys that inspired their purpose and passion for making a difference.

Don Diamont – From Soap Opera Stardom to Global Advocacy

Fans know him best as “Dollar Bill Spencer, Jr.” on The Bold and the Beautiful, but Don Diamont’s star power reaches far beyond the CBS stage. With roles in Hollywood films like Anger Management (opposite Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler) and Marco Polo with Jack Palance, Don has proven his versatility on both the big and small screens.

He’s been spotlighted in People magazine’s coveted “50 Most Beautiful People” and “Sexiest Man Alive” issues. Yet the accolade closest to his heart is being named Ambassador of the Year by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

In this episode, Don opens up about a deeply personal travel experience that fueled his mission to support MS research. He shares how world travel and cultural encounters continue to inspire his humanitarian efforts and why he believes advocacy and storytelling are powerful tools for change.

Heather Tom – Emmy Winner, Actress, Advocate, Humanitarian

Heather Tom, a two-time Emmy Award winner, is best known as “Katie Logan-Spencer” on The Bold and the Beautiful. With an acting career that began at age two, Heather has built an impressive resume across TV, film, and stage.

But Heather is more than an actress—she’s a global activist and changemaker. In this intimate conversation, she shares how a pivotal international journey reshaped her perspective and ignited her lifelong commitment to advocacy. Heather reveals how travel opened her eyes to new ways of making a difference, pushing her to step beyond Hollywood and into humanitarian work that spans the globe.

Eric Braeden – Victor Newman’s Journey from Hollywood to Humanitarian

For more than 50 years, Eric Braeden has captivated audiences as the iconic Victor Newman on The Young & The Restless. His legendary career has earned him an Emmy Award, multiple nominations, and a People’s Choice Award.

Yet Eric’s influence extends far beyond television. His passion for bridging cultures, promoting global unity, and raising his voice for social causes has made him a respected humanitarian. In this episode, Eric recalls a powerful travel experience that transformed his outlook on life and deepened his commitment to cultural understanding.

Listeners will hear how this transformative journey continues to fuel his dedication to building bridges across communities and generations.

✈️ Why Travel Matters to CBS Stars

From Hollywood red carpets to faraway corners of the world, these stars show that travel is more than leisure—it’s a catalyst for growth, compassion, and purpose.
