Episode 1: NBA player Justin Jackson with his wife Brooke

We’re excited to share the premiere episode of a new podcast called A Little Something Extra – the first video podcast hosted by an individual with Down syndrome! In the inaugural episode, co-hosts Nancy Gianni and The GiGi Gianni of GiGi’s Playhouse are joined by NBA player Justin Jackson and his wife Brooke. Justin and Brooke have been involved with GiGi’s Playhouse for several years, and were even compelled to help start up the Sacramento Playhouse! We’re so inspired by their dedication to each other, their careers, and helping others. We dive into their “little something extra,” and even jump into a dance-off!

About the podcast: We all have a little something extra inside of us, and sometimes we don’t even know it’s there! Through A Little Something Extra, we want to hear about the forces in people’s lives that drive their passion in hopes that others will be able to find theirs! We’ll get to hear of what makes our guests so inspiring – their superpower – even if they do not feel it within themselves! Every episode will feature guests who have accomplished the impossible and have changed the world! Be prepared to find yourself motivated with every installment from a wide range of guests including A-list celebrities to everyday people! Learn more at www.alittlesomethingextrapodcast.org.
