You may know Ian Weinreich from Honest Trailers like my husband, or from his writing work on The Flight Attendant, Zac and Mia, Skylanders Academy, Mighty Med, and the American Patriot. In this episode, I sit down with Ian to talk about what it's been like to write for two seasons on The Flight Attendant with Kaley Cuoco, the yes's and no's of Hollywood networking, what his writing process is like, and being ready before putting yourself out there.
