Fashion broadcaster Tim Gunn joins Jian to talk about his starring role in Project Runway: Under the Gunn, and guiding the next generation of creative minds.
The Emmy Award-winning fashion personality tells Jian what it's been like to transition from mentor to host, and how much discipline it takes to relinquish the hands-on approach of his previous role.
Gunn also reflects on rising out of a darker time in his past -- recalling his struggles as a closeted gay teen with a debilitating stutter, and feeling as though life was not worth living.
Now he hopes to be a role model for young people, and considers himself "the luckiest guy in the world."
