Bleav No Script No Problem

Could you run a company with your sibling? How do you handle stress at work, especially during the pandemic? What's it like working with Santa Claus ? 🎅 🤶 🤷‍♂️👍

I get into these burning topics and much more with TIM DUFFY, the Co-President of UGLY BROTHER STUDIOS and former development executive at Spike (now Paramount Network; soon to be Paramount Movie Network), in this episode of "No Script, No Problem." Our candid, wide-ranging discussion covers everything from how Ugly Bros. is getting back to work with the new Covid-19 protocols to his disappointment with what's happened at Viacom since his departure to how he uses mindfulness to cope with the stress of producing reality TV. Tim also reveals what it's like working with his twin brother, Mike. Finally, Tim tees up what we can expect from the second season of Nickelodeon's Christmas competition series, "Top Elf".
