She then invites a person onto the set to share their life experiences. He or She talks about some unfortunate incidents that have occurred in their life, something that led them to the point where they had to come in front of the camera to find solutions to their problems. After he/she says everything they need to, people concerned with the said problem are invited onto the set. They may be friends or family. They are given a chance to say their side of the story.
