533. 20 Years Later: My Friend From Acting School Wrote the Book I Didn't Know I Needed
The InFluency PodcastShow Notes
This conversation is a very special one for me.
Danielle and I met many years ago when we were both studying acting in New York, long before either of us knew where life would take us. We were young, ambitious, certain about some things, completely lost about others, and both trying to figure out who we were going to become.
And now, all these years later, I got to sit down with her and talk about her first adult novel, a story she has been carrying with her, in one form or another, for about 16 years.
Danielle also shares a beautiful exercise for getting started with writing.
This is a conversation about books, yes. But really, it's about friendship, identity, dreams, reinvention, and all the unexpected ways our lives unfold.
