Hello, world.

Welcome to discover your talent, do what you love, number 343.

I'm creator and host, Don Hutchison.

Every day, I interview someone from around the world who has

discovered her talents to do work she loves, to create a life of success, satisfaction, and freedom.

After veering away from her first love drama to pay the bills, Elisa had been easing back into

theater with several churches's drama programs.

She was nursing hopes of going back to her native California where her love of theater had blossomed.

When her husband's job took them to Knoxville, Tennessee, she remembers asking herself,

how will I find any acting opportunities here?

Today, I'm delighted to bring you our featured guest, Alyssa Addison. Welcome, Alyssa.

Hi, thank you for having me.

It is our pleasure. Alyssa, are you using your talents doing work that you love?

Yes, I am.

All righty, we want to hear the whole story.

Alyssa Addison is a screenplay, writer, director, and actress.

She's the writer, director, and actress. She's the writer, director,

and one of the executive producers for the movie, Laughing at the Moon, that is coming out in theaters

in September. Her passion is to continue to make films that go beyond entertainment and

transform people's lives, thereby doing what she loves and making a difference at the same time.

Sharing God's love through film, she wants people to know that they are significant,

have purpose, and are valuable.
