Briohny Smyth caused a ruckus, Michael A. Stusser made us laugh. Hear from each of them on the effects of the 2012 Equinox video.
Briohny Smyth started 2012 with a bang: featured doing yoga in what became a highly controversial ad by Equinox. She joins us to chat about her experiences, her yoga practice and what it’s like to be at the center of a proverbial tornado.
