Show notes

Krystyna Hutchinson sits down with Nana at a bar to discuss trauma, red flags and the books we've read and love that get us through it all. I adore Krystyna and I'm really happy we were able to do this. I think I'll always switch from third to first person from now on...I hope you lil freaks enjoy this ep!

Solo Nana Oct 21, 2019

Show notes

Solo Nana Ep! I've been wanting to do an episode like this since the beginning but I've been too scared and putting it off and even though I had a panic attack while recording (and I'm still coming down from it as I'm typing this) I'm happy I took that first small step toward maybe more episodes like this.

This episode was definitely a rough one but I learned a lot and if you all want another one like this, let me know and I'll work on making the next one better!

The article that I read was from the Harvard Business Review Magazine: OnPoint, Spring 2019 edition. The focus of this edition was "Unleash Your Creativity" and the article I annotated and read from was "Reclaim Your Creative Confidence: How To Get Over The Fears That Block Your Best Ideas" by Tom Kelley and David Kelley.

Thank you for being so sweet and patient and honest with me!

***MY DARLINGS! I AM SO SORRY THIS IS LATE!!!***

I keep only getting 4 hours of sleep and I need to record more episodes so I can have them in the bank and I'm not struggling to post an episode Sunday so it's ready for you all first thing Monday morning. I am so sorry!!! I am working on this! Thank you for sticking with me! It means the world to me!

Mike Recine Sep 24, 2019

Show notes

Mike Recine joins Nana this week to talk about the state of comedy, what it's like to grow up with an autistic brother, and what advice he would give to his younger self.

***My apologies for the delay my little freaks! Nana's been averaging 4 - 5 hrs a night for the past couple weeks again and it she's still getting the hang of her new day job, shows at night and the random little side hustles she has. I promise to get back on track with releasing the episodes on time and more sleep.

Nathan Macintosh RETURNS! Sep 19, 2019

Show notes

My apologies for the delay my little freaks! Nana wasn't feeling well at all this past Sunday (when I usually record and upload episodes for Monday morning consumption) and with an average of 4 hours of sleep every night since then it's been hectic to say the least - now this is just turning into a journal entry.

While I was going to record with just myself tonight, Nathan hit me up on my way home and when he agreed to do the podcast we recorded on a little one-way street in the West Village, Barrow Street to be exact.

This was about to be the episode that I go solo! Maybe the next one, with an outlined article or book to keep me company.
