1 episode and I’m hooked
Love this host and the intel she gets out of her industry-guests. Very interesting and practical discussions. Thank you Doc!
Informative AND Entertaining
A friend of mine who writes screenplays told me about Dr. Hamilton's podcast. I'm not a screenwriter, but I am a writer, and I'm always looking for inspiration from other writers: how they got their start, what they do now, etc. Loved listening to the first episode on how Dr. Hamilton pivoted careers and started working in television. Always inspiring.
