What does it take to write fifty books and bring them to life in your own voice? This week the conversation runs from a second-grade writing assignment that lit the spark, to the business mindset that turns a hobby into a career, to a candid look at where AI is dragging the voiceover world.

We get deep into the creative process, the difference between a pantser and a planner, narrating your own audiobooks, and why consent is becoming the biggest fight in entertainment. Along the way there are detours into Aliens, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Stephen King that any genre fan will love.

A wide-ranging, funny, and honest talk about creativity, craft, and protecting what makes art human.
