Retrospective: Ophira Eisenberg

“The only upshot of age is you get to the point where you’re too exhasuted for a strategy that isn’t just organic. So you just go, I’m gonna be Me, and if it works out, great.”
— Ophira Eisenberg
In this episode of Retrospective, I talk with my friend Ophira Eisenberg right before her new memoir releases nationwide. You may have heard her on NPR, seen her stand-up comedy recently onThe Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson or had the pleasure of seeing her live onstage.

We chat over tea and a latte and talk about:
- translating story and humor from stage to page
- dealing with "What will 'they' think?"
- and how she combines hard work with navigating the opportunities that follow
Screw Everyone: Sleeping My Way to Monogamy is now available on Amazon.
For Ophira's storytelling wisdom, check out the Telling Your Story multimedia course.
