This week, we chat with Jason Gregory, the writer and producer of Waking Up White. He is also a key member of 13 Brains, a reality TV think tank and a script writing lecturer at the University of Central Florida. In his mid-30’s, Jason decided to go back to school full-time and pursue his MFA. We discuss following your dreams at any age, pursuing an MFA, and the importance of taking risks and failing. This is part one of a two-part episode.
