This edition: Photographer to the Biggest Stars in the World-and they love him!

Episode Details

Original tape date: May 6, 2025. First aired: May 23, 2025.

Ronnie Wright has photographed the biggest icons in music, film, and sports—Beyoncé, Michael Jordan, Denzel Washington, Madonna—just a few among the thousands who’ve stood before his lens. But behind every shot is a story. Mike sits down with Ronnie to talk about his remarkable career, the challenges that nearly stopped him, his powerful and positive fight back… and what those closest to him (including the legendary Valerie Simpson from Ashford & Simpson) lovingly share about the man behind the camera—an extraordinary New Yorker with an unbreakable spirit.
