From Maria navigating a Hodgkin’s lymphoma diagnosis at 16 and learning to live life constantly saying yes, to Aurelia leaving Paris for Ohio as an exchange student to fully immerse herself in American culture, this conversation explores how a shared love for television brought this yin and yang duo together. They break down the early struggle of building a business when no one believed in them, and the groundbreaking moment they risked it all to secure Lucy Hale from Pretty Little Liars, kicking off a massive story that absolutely warranted a part two.
