  • Natalie Stavola Discusses Creating The Life And Love Life That You Deserve Today

    Natalie Stavola Discusses Creating The Life And Love Life That You Deserve Today
    Aug 15 2022

    Paul Vato and Natalie Stavola were both raised Roman Catholic and share their mutually traumatic family and school experiences. Apparently, Paul still holds a massive grudge against the CCD (Confraternity of Christian Doctrine) kids that used to invade HIS school to learn about Catholicism, of which Natalie was one of them. We also learn that maybe, just maybe, using tequila to soothe a child's sore tooth and whiskey to settle a little girl's tummy might just not be that great of an idea and MAY lead to a severe case of alcoholism and addiction. ¡Olé!


    In this episode we learn:1. The differences in how men and women try to "fix" things.2. How there is a 12 step program to suit everyone's needs, even yours!3. How stand up comedy and satire actually helps us to digest information that otherwise would've hit against the cognitive dissonance.


    "If you are feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands, my services aim to introduce clarity and self-motivation and end repeat cycles that make you feel stuck, frustrated, or constantly choosing toxic relationships." - Natalie Stavola


    Natalie Stavola is an actress, writer, producer and certified life and dating coach with a degree in psychology.

    She specializes in toxic relationships both on and off screen and helps people overcome their insecurities and turn their fears into strengths while being an example of practicing what she preaches.

    She breaks out of limiting beliefs while coaching others on how to do the same.

    Originally from the northeast and currently residing in Los Angeles, Natalie has kept that east coast edge with an added Cali ease. Sharp wit with a cool vibe. You can see her on Amazon Prime or interviewed recently on the CW.

    Ben Morrison. Comedian And Crohn's Disease Advocate Makes Money While Pooping. Find Out How!
    Aug 12 2022

    Paul Vato sits down (not on the toilet) and chats with comedian Ben Morrison. Ben has been doing stand up comedy for over 20 years and has discovered the importance of social media to help him land branding deals with major companies. Ben can also fully produce your next stand up comedy special for Netflix, Hulu, Amazon and all of the other streaming services. Paul and Ben also chat about what it was like studying with William H. Macey and David Mamet at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and his connection to Mark Cuban, the owner of Fireside, where this podcast is recorded in front of a live studio audience.


    In this episode you will learn:1. The importance of using all social media to promote your brand.2. The major differences and nuances of TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.3. How Ben turned his disease into a money making business venture.


    "The cavalry isn't coming. You are the cavalry. Which is what I tell myself in moments where things aren't working." - Ben Morrison


    Ben Morrison is a Los Angeles based actor, writer, comedian and filmmaker. Acting since he was 6 years old, Ben is a graduate of NYU’s TISCH School of the arts where he trained under William H. Macy and David Mamet, and added stand-up comedian to his resume shortly thereafter. It’s been a blur ever since.

    A staple of LA area comedy clubs, Ben is a regular at the Improv and Laugh Factory, and most recently wrote and acted in The Telethon for America, a star-studded get-out-the-vote comedy special with Chelsea Handler, Charlize Theron, Natalie Portman and many more.

    On camera, Ben is best known for his recurring role as Young Eli David on NCIS, as the lead on a season of MTV’s Punk’d, starring in a season of Mr. Personalities for Marc Cuban’s HDNet, or guest-starring opposite Jon Lovitz and Bill Bellamy on Mr. Box Office.

    Additionally, Ben has been seen as a lead in feature films Ouija Exorcism, From the Dead, and FOX’s 30 Nights of Paranormal Activity where he played an eerily good Abe Lincoln.
