You may know him as Howard Hamlin from the critically acclaimed and wildly successful series, Better Call Saul.

At the end of this conversation with actor, philanthropist, and marathoner, you’ll know him differently.

I loved his philosophical approach, free spirit and overall generosity. He is the epitome of hope, positivity and optimism.

PS He might make a run for President (but that’s just a vicious rumor)

“I was a journeyman chef of middling abilities. Whatever authority I have as a commenter on this world comes from the sheer weight of 28 years in the business. I kicked around for 28 years and came out the other end alive and able to form a sentence.” – Anthony Bourdain
