This week's guest believes that everyone should strive to BE MORE SUPER!

Bryan Garner pops into the studio to share his origin story. He chats with Tyler about his early years in the arts, convention fandom, prop collecting, and what drove him to create BE MORE SUPER the podcast. Similar to the Man of Steel himself, Bryan is one truly remarkable person!

Crashing through windows, 30-foot freefalls, and being on fire are typical job duties for our guest this week. Talia Dillingham is a professonal stuntwoman, who has some incredible stories to share. She explains the ins and outs of stunt preparation and graciously shares her story of being severely injured while performing a stunt. Her resiliance and recovery is awesome in and of itself, but hearing her talk about her ambitions regardless of her injury make her a grade-A badass.

The title of "Producer" technically places you as part of the administrative team at a regional theater. One might think that an arts worker in that type of position would focus less on the "art" and more on the "work," but this week's guest proves that idea entirely incorrect. Mark Lunsford is a man dedicated to the art of theater and works hard, with his team, to produce incredible shows every season at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, MA. His work might include budgeting and lots of emails, but without his guidance many a show would end up in the sh*t, one even quite literally!
