Hey TSL fan, producer Jeff here, just hopping on to note that this episode was in fact recorded before the very important and historic strike between the AMPTP and the WGA and SAG right now.

While we don't get into any specifics or promotion, because of course those are off limits during this time, there are some vague references to pitching that was being done during this time, of course, before the entire Gilb is pencils down so just wanted to clarify that and if you've heard

any other vague references to pitching or promotion in past episodes this summer that is of course also

the case as is the case with future episodes that may have been recorded in the spring.

So just wanted to note that of course our show is completely committed to this strike,

getting through it, and the solidarity that's more important now than ever.

With that being said, enjoy the show.

Hey everyone, welcome back to the screenwriting life.

I'm Meg Lafope.

And I'm Lorian McKenna, and welcome to part two

of our two-part conversation with celebrated indie producer Ted Hope.

We recommend you check out part one before jumping in.

Today we're going to be focusing on primarily Ted's 30 lessons for starting in a creative industry.

We just want to, we're not going to go through all of them, but we've picked our favorites and ones that we think super apply to the writers out there

starting in the creative industry but of course Ted whatever insights you

have from whatever perspective we are deeply interested and we're going to talk about some other things too if we have time but so Ted welcome back to the show

Great to be here. Thanks for having me

So before we get started on the part one of our two-part talk with you, you mentioned at the very end your exercise for writers which was making a list of a hundred things you love.

And not just like movies or TV shows,

but like, and you use the example of the cup

that you drink out of and why you love it

and how it makes you feel.
