I love people with passion.
Which means that I absolutely love to interview passionate people from all walks of life...
This is my fourth and final season hosting CU@USC on the Trojan Vision Network. If you're into live television and enjoy sit down talk shows as much as I do, then you will love "Tuesday Nights With Telles" on CU@USC. Since my first day hosting the show, I've had the pleasure of working alongside my Executive Producer, Nick Rizzo. We're college students now...but in time, we have high hopes of working together in the real world!
Ade McCormack, Actor:
He's an actor who you might recognize from shows such as 24, Gilmore Girls and played Yemi in the popular series, Lost. He's a man with Kenyan roots and brings his humble beginnings with him in every role he lands as an actor. You can catch him in his next big film coming to theaters on March 3rd. If you've seen the many trailers or billboards around L.A. then you know
what movie I'm talking about -- BATTLE: LOS ANGELES, directed by Jonathan Liebsman. When you see a medic on scene, look for Ade, he's one of them!

This gentleman joined me on the show to talk about his trademark, Java Boi Industries. It's a clothing brand with a coffee kick! Eric built his business from the ground up after gaining inspiration from big-name brands like Johnny Cupcakes and Hello Kitty. For now, he designs stellar shirts but since the brand launched online this month (2 days ago!) he's bound to grind out more apparel this year.
James Owens, President of The World Is Just A Book Away (WIJBA):
Professor Owens teaches at USC and he's also president/founder of the WIJABA charity organization. WIJABA helps to educate the children of the world and James Owens is making it all happen. His mission is to build libraries in developing countries and give a plethora of books to children so they can expand their dreams and have an imagination. Owens told me that since he was 17 years old, he was fascinated by books and he wanted every person to have their own to read. Today that vision has transformed into reality. Through networking 
and gaining celebrity board members, the WIJABA family has raised enough money to build 47 libraries in safe zone areas throughout Indonesia. These libraries have given 25,000 children access to 45,000 books since it's launch in 2008. Wow - that's a ton of books and it's only the beginning! You can follow WIJABA's work here.
