John August
Without screenwriter John August, we might not have had movies like Go, Charlie’s Angels and Big Fish. He’s the creative mind that’s brought so many Hollywood classics to life. And while he’s definitely left his mark on the industry, it wasn’t without struggle. He’s had projects cancelled, scripts passed and struggled to make a name for himself as a writer. But he never gave up on his dream.

EJ Hill
EJ Hill never intended to become one of today’s most visually compelling contemporary artists. It took him going to a summer camp in Rhode Island and posing nude in art school to really discover his passion. They say art imitates life, and for Hill, the struggle he’s had to contend with and continually face is reflected in his work.

Michael Uslan
Studio after studio rejected producer Michael Uslan’s idea for a serious Batman movie. As a hardcore comic buff, Uslan wouldn’t stop until his favorite superhero got the big screen treatment he knew he deserved. Over forty Batman productions later, Uslan is credited on every single one of them. Not bad for a small town kid from New Jersey.

Customer Reviews
What a great show!
I loved listening to this! So far I’ve heard the trailer and the episode with Randal Park. This show is well produced, fun to listen to, relatable. I really see this getting syndication somewhere if it hasn’t already. There are so many great aspects to this show. Storytelling, comedy, inspiration. A had a few moments when Park’s story connected with me personally in a great way. Other moments when I burst out laughing.
“Is there ice cream involved, and what flavor?”
such gold in this series. Herrguth and Glickman really represent the listener well here in how you relate to the storyteller. They are the storyteller, really. But how they do that and get the story going, how they relate, inserts this listener into the dialog.
Listened while running. I can start my day today when done listening.
Enriching, entertaining, amusing, touching, inspiring.
Great comfort listening
These interviews are totally absorbing and even inspiring. If you’re feeling bruised by life or career, this podcast lets you sit for a while with some really smart, successful stars and cultural creatives who have had more than their fair share of lumps and bumps. It’s reassuring to hear that lots of people have suffered through some intense difficulties and have gotten through them, more or less in one piece, and done some of their best work afterwards.
Inspirational
Guess I thought people who are so successful in life maybe just caught a lot of breaks. The interviews really showed me how off that thinking was.
