Very cool to see my Men’s Journal cover story on Aaron Paul recommended by The Sunday Long Read, which celebrates the best of the week’s longform journalism. The piece was highlighted on Sunday January 12, 2020, as a profile readers “will find much to cheer about.”
Aaron Paul: Cheerworthy. Couldn’t agree more.
After more than a decade as Iron Man, he’s now kung fu fighting and managing a menagerie at home — and in Dolittle.
I sat down with Robert Downey Jr. in my hood for my latest cover story for Parade magazine. He’s so much fun to talk to, we could barely keep on a single conversation thread, but we somehow managed to talk about his childhood, his family, his passions and his newest movie, Dolittle.

Such a pleasure sitting down with the whip-smart, deep thinking, profoundly nice Katie Couric at her beautiful home to talk all things health for this weekend’s Parade magazine. She talked about growing as an athlete, her health advocacy over the years, and her take on the results of a Parade/Cleveland Clinic survey on America’s extreme and mainstream health habits.
My favorite line of this piece? “I’ve become an entrepreneur in my 60s, which I think is cool.” Yes, it is.
