In this episode, Tom surprises everyone by bringing on an unexpected guest — his mom, Kathleen O’Brien: author, and once officially the “most heard voice in America.”
Kathleen shares some amazing (and hilarious) stories, from a cringy encounter with Larry King, to being literally the voice everyone heard across the country, to writing the most “seen” slogan in America. She also dives into the wisdom she’s packed into her book, Reclaim Your Right to Grow Old.
And of course — we get the inside scoop on what Tom was really like as a kid. (Spoiler: brace yourself.)
