You love to see a human that’s like, yeah, I did Survivor… THREE times. This week’s guest in the Diner was the woman, the myth, the legend – Andrea Boehlke. She was born and raised in Wisconsin and moved to New York to pursue a career in acting, which is where we met. We talked about her farmer work ethic that translated well to persevering through strange acting gigs, successful Survivor auditions, and eventually a transition to being a host with People Mag. We talked a lot about the balance of wanting more for our careers and a desire to be present. We also had a vulnerable conversation about mental health and working through depression and anxiety. She talked about the importance of listening to our bodies and being gentler with ourselves, which is exactly what she did when she moved from NYC back to Wisconsin and bought a sheep. Also, it should be noted that her sheep just had a lamb… so technically she’s a sheep-grandma now. This conversation was so fun and so interesting – you’re not going to want to miss it!
About the Guest:
Andrea Boehlke is a Wisconsin-born entertainment host, who lived in NYC for 10 years and now she's back in Wisconsin and has no idea what's next! She's currently working for People Mag, and two other shows as a host, which is her passion. She has a lot of party tricks... juggling, the splits, the worm. She also LOVES sheep and bought a sheep this summer who now has a baby, so she is technically a sheep-grandma now. We can't forget she was on Survivor three times! Overall, Andrea loves deep conversation and getting to know people!

About the Host:
Friends! Here's a somewhat stuffy bio of me:
I am an author, professional speaker, coach, host, and entrepreneur. My first book, Leading Imperfectly: The value of being authentic for leaders, professionals, and human beings, is available wherever people buy books. I speak internationally to willing and unwilling attendees about authenticity, vulnerability, and leadership. My clients include American Express, General Electric (GE), Accenture, Yale University, The Ohio State University, and many others. As a speaker, I am doing the two things I loves the most: making people think and making people laugh!
I host my own events multiple times a year. They are 2-day events called Living Imperfectly Live (and sometimes they are 1-day virtual events). They are a space where humans from every walk of life can come together to be part of a community on the pursuit of badassery. The goal is to help attendees start living the life we say we want to live.
Alas, you're here because of an idea I had a number of years ago and didn't think I was good enough to pull it off. I finally acted on it and alas Diner Talks with James was born! As you can see from what I do in my professional life, Diner Talks is alligned with everything I believe in and teach. If this wasn't dry enough, and you would like to know more info about my speaking, events, or coaching feel free to check out my website: JamesTRobo.com.
