Episode 63: Melisa D. Monts
“Once I became my whole self verses just the parts that I thought fit, that’s when I really enjoyed life.”
Melissa D. Monts is a writer, director, podcastor, producer, screenwriter, and more - seriously, she can do pretty much anything needed in the world of film, tv, and podcasting. She hustled early taking on multiple internships at once and is still hustling today, as a producer on three podcasts, including one she co-hosts, plus writing and running team. On this episode we trace her journey from Arkansas to LA, why she loves Chelsea Handler, how she manages her time because she is on the extreme end of what she can get done in a day, and about the day she was blessed by Maya Angelou. All that and so much more.
