Our Emmy award winning project {THE AND} creates the space for transformative conversations and deeper human connection.

Nelson and his 7-year-old son, Nelson Jr., share a bond that radiates warmth, laughter, and deep connection. Their relationship is a heartwarming example of what true friendship between a father and son can look like: full of playful wit, emotional honesty, and mutual admiration.

Donna (she/her) and Darrell (he/him) are mother and son. Their relationship has been shaped by grief, personal growth, and an unconditional love that reaches beyond this lifetime. Sharing a name with Donna’s late brother, Darrell carries both a legacy and a quiet pressure to live up to something sacred.

Jordan (she/her) and John (he/him) have been together for 10 years. Their love story began with two people crushing on each other—without either of them knowing it. Over time, their bond deepened, and when Jordan was diagnosed with cancer, their relationship transformed in profound ways.

For three years, Nadiya (she/her) and Anthony (he/him) have shared a special connection. This conversation offers a glimpse into what love at first sight can be – the way they look and listen speaks volumes about their admiration for each other.

Two women sharing a joyful moment; one has her hand on her forehead and is smiling, while the other is in front of her, with their hair visible from behind.

Getting Under The Skin

Join Topaz Adizes on exploratory conversations with extraordinary people. Not because they’re famous or successful, but because life has taught them something deep. Something hard-earned. Something true.

Ky shares the roller coaster moment that shaped how he understands fear, acceptance, and growth. From losing his friend Ashton, to being late diagnosed with ADHD, depression, anxiety, and OCD, this conversation explores humor as a coping mechanism, neurodivergence, mental health stigma, and why honesty can be strength, connection, and survival.

Charlie shares the moment at eighteen when he first realized he could heal someone and the fear, disbelief, and isolation that followed. From family disapproval and years of having to prove himself, to being studied by major institutions and working to create pathways for others like him, this conversation explores resilience, empathy, and the cost of trusting your inner knowing.

Andy reflects on formative experiences with violence, near death, and ego dissolution, and how those moments shaped his relationship with love, presence, and meaning. From Zen and Sufism to poetry, programming, and rethinking money as a communal habit rather than a fixed truth, this conversation explores sincerity, humility, and what it means to live inside the question rather than rush toward answers.
