    Mentor Buffet

    Alexi Pappas’s Mentor Buffet is a podcast about mentorship: Who influenced the people who influence us? Who helped them along their journey?

    Alexi is an Olympian, filmmaker, actress, and bestselling author, and she’s leaned on mentors to help her level up faster than she could on her own. After losing her mom to suicide when she was four, she needed to find other people to lean on. Now, it’s Alexi’s turn to peel back the curtain on mentorship. In each episode of Mentor Buffet Alexi sits down with people who inspire her—athletes, entrepreneurs, creatives, and beyond—to have conversations about chasing dreams and befriending pain, through the lens of those who have shaped them into who they are today.

    Show notes

    Pat Regan is a TV writer for the hit shows Hacks and Overcompensating. He co-hosts the podcast Seek Treatment with Cat Cohen. He's writing a book right now. On this episode of Mentor Buffet, he joins host Alexi Pappas to talk about the very beginning: dreaming of writing for TV, not talking for his entire freshman year of high school, making the boys on the track team laugh for the first time—and then later, how he got into comedy, what it was like moving to LA in his mid-30s, and what it's been like working as a writer in Hollywood. The conversation is about what it means to find your voice and chase your dreams even when you don't know if you're necessarily moving toward them. Pat's a lit crazy genius and he'll make you laugh.
