Sadie and Jeanne talk with Imani Davis, a multi-hyphenate extraordinaire—producer, podcast host, festival programmer, wearer of many hats.

Despite Imani's packed life, Sadie and Jeanne couldn't help but brainstorm new business ideas for her ... because, why not? That's what reckless creatives do when they hang.

Sadie and Jeanne dive into the world of Tommy Wallach to discuss writing musicals, plays, screenplays, novels, the value of being a pianist, why bread is not happening, and so much more.

This one is a must-listen for all artists who want to dive into multiple mediums and find a path of sanity while juggling 12 balls in the air. Just read his bio below ... yeah, he pivots like none other.

Well, turns out we had a lot to say about ... everything.

If you need some Real Talk™ advice from the trenches, Sadie and Jeanne have it. Sure, could it be something we talked about before? Who knows. We're too exhausted to remember.

But we have thoughts about writing and life ... we always have thoughts.
