As a child who dreamed of working in television, I often watched the credits on television shows and did research on the people who created them. John Shaffner and Joe Stewart are names that came up often.

If you’ve watched television in the past thirty years, odds are you have watched worlds that they created.

I have come to know John and Joe as two of the most gracious contributors to the entertainment industry, who have been willing to share the lessons that they have learned throughout their career with anyone who has a desire to learn.
