Jake Penzell is a professional e-learning course instruction writer who is about to jump into the world of small business ownership. Jake’s training as a playwright prepared him to write e-learning courses; as a lifetime geek, he found ways to inject nerdy humor into his classes. But it was Jake’s obsession with pie making—a craft he mastered while in college-- that has become his life’s work as he opens his very first pie shop in Seattle, WA. In episode two, hosts Blaire Knight-Graves and Mark Beers discuss with Jake the significant differences between writing dialogue in for the stage and dialogue for e-learning courses, Jake’s top 5 fantasy movies from the 80s, how networking can actually be helped by obscure movie knowledge, and the importance of staying on course to follow your dreams—even if those dreams are unconventional.
