In a rare introspective moment, Barry Diller examines his own personality with honesty and wit. He traces his lifelong difficulty living in the moment back to an early fear tied to his sexuality. He explains that his famous need for control stems directly from feeling out of control as a child. He admits he still has "a good decent amount of rage," even if David Geffen insists he's mellowed. And he lays out his counterintuitive management philosophy: hire blank slates, give them more responsibility than they're ready for, and if you ever have to hire from outside instead of promoting within — you've failed.

More than 20 years after first interviewing him on a high school radio show, Graham Bensinger reunites with ESPN star Stephen A. Smith — this time with rare, behind-the-scenes access. Graham follows Stephen A. from the First Take studio in New York to the headquarters of Straight Shooter Media, and inside his private Miami home — a space he rarely opens to anyone. During their time together, Smith reflects on family loss, his ESPN firing and comeback, and his growing political aspirations — including why he says he’d only consider the presidency.
