Episode 6 is up now with Mari Andrew! Mari is a New York Times bestselling author, illustrator, and overall wonderful human. Her work is personal, vulnerable, and deeply relatable. In this episode we talk about all the hard parts of living authentically, from taking care of the inner child when we feel insecure to avoiding the perils of cynicism. Listen wherever you get your podcasts and pick up any of her bestselling books at your favorite local bookstore.
Episode 5 is here! We chat with Ben and Becca Fundis, new owners of the Screening Room in Newburyport, MA, about their decision to sell their house and buy an independent movie theater in the middle of the pandemic. We talk about making financial sacrifices to pursue your dreams, responding to critics, and how they built a business out of their shared love of film.
Our guest for episode 4 is bestselling novelist Angie Kim! Angie went to Harvard Law School, worked as a litigator, and had multiple careers in business before writing the wonderfully twisty and complex novel Miracle Creek. We talk about leaving unsatisfying careers, seeking joy, and persevering in the face of rejection and unexpected setbacks. Angie is brilliant and joyful and we’re so lucky she talked to us.
Our guest on Episode 1 is Melinda Lopez! Melinda is an award winning playwright, actress, and educator whose works have been performed all around the world. We talk about growing up Cuban in Massachusetts, pursuing a career in theater, writing about family, and finding your pueblo, the people who uplift and support you. Melinda is such a warm, articulate person and she offers insightful advice about how to build a creative life and use your platform to tell meaningful stories.
Episode 3 is available now with Sara Sligar! Sara is an author and academic with a Ph.D. in English from the University of Pennsylvania. We loved her debut novel Take Me Apart so much that we immediately asked her to come on the show to talk about her writing. In this episode, we discuss the publishing process, knowing when to move on from a project, the undervaluing of women’s writing, and so much more.
Our guests on episode 2 are Kelly Walsh-Barrios and Morgan Walsh, the fabulous sisters and co-owners of Cupid’s Hotdogs. When Kelly and Morgan abruptly inherited their family business, they had to put their lives on hold to take over a beloved local hot dog shop that had been open since 1946. They have since infused the business with their creative personalities and grown it into a cultural hub with roller skating, car hops, drive-in movie nights, classic car shows and more. Listen for a fun and fascinating conversation about how to run a small business with authenticity.
