The episode will air on Apple Podcasts, and all other major podcast platforms.

    Stapf is responsible for the campaign launch of many adored TV series, such as “ER,” “Friends,” “Dallas,” and “Full House.” In his position at CBS, he’s overseen the production of many hits from “Star Trek” to “Late Night with Stephen Colbert” and the daytime drama classics, “Bold & The Beautiful” and “The Young & The Restless.” Stapf also oversees the breakfast-TV staple, “The Talk,” and the most-watched entertainment series, “NCIS.” Beginning his television career in 1985 as a Unit Publicist for Embassy Television, Stapf also provided publicity for Warner Bros.; he was named the President of CBS-TV in 2004.

We all experience the same sort of emotions, if not at the same time, certainly at some point in our lives.”

Here’s this superstar success story who isn’t preaching that it’s all about having some step-by-step plan for success.
