Explicit content warning

03/03/21 • 79 min

In this episode Bonnie talks with her friend, writer / director / producer – and recent Golden Globe nominee – Andrew Fleming. Back in 1998, Andrew directed the pilot for Grosse Pointe, Bonnie’s very first TV pilot and series, and was a central figure in the crazy story of how Bonnie ended up on the show. Since his one-in-a-million start to his career (he sold his first script while he was still in NYU film school), he’s been through it all in this business. With successes in film (The Craft, Dick, Threesome) and TV (Emily In Paris, Younger, Insatiable), Andrew has enough stories to fill a dozen podcasts. Truly an inspiring episode about being yourself, no matter what and listening to your intuition with a big dose of self exploration, humility and a relentless sense of humor.

You never know what’s around the corner. And if you’re gonna go down - you better go down Swingin'!
