Hi, I'm Stage in Stages, Lynn Manuel Miranda, and you're listening to The Hamelcast.

Boots and cuts and boots and cuts.

Hey friends, I'm Jillian. Welcome back to the Hamelcast. I'm wrapping up my truly inspiring hang with Daniel Pollock Pelsner. And I know that sounds trite, and I know it's an overused term, but if you finish the book, which I'm sure you have by now, you'll get how I mean it. Because in Daniel's new book, Lynn Manuel Miranda, the education of an artist, the whole thing is about perpetual education from all different sources.

So, like, Lynn is the vehicle, but the general thesis applies to all of us.

Daniel just happened to use someone with a fascinating brain who is living a wildly interesting

life with endless connective tissue who made a lot of art we all love to get the point across.

And let me tell ya, it works. And so I'm sitting here at my desk, there's a thunderstorm brewing. I know I have to get this on Wax ASAP, so I'm trying to figure out how to wrap up this intro. And I'm like, no, remember last week's intro? The thing I said about not putting pressure on myself to mention every single cool thing we talked about in the previous app. Not only is that absolutely true. When you step away from it for two seconds, you realize, oh wait, nothing is actually being cut. The episode still exists in full. All the stories are there forever. God, being a person is exhausting. And you know what? I'm keeping that all in. That's how we're going to wrap up this intro. Thanks for the therapy sush. All right. No, but seriously, let's wrap up this fantastic chat with the thoughtful, generous, kind, compassionate, genuine Daniel Pollock Pelsner.

We're kicking it off with a first for the pod.
