EP6: From Dental School to Podcast Mogul with Writer, Director, Producer Melisa D. Monts | The Big Twist

In this episode with Melisa D. Monts, we dive into her fascinating journey, from dental school, to digital content producer, to co-hosting and producing four podcasts per week, all while directing over 70 audiobooks, including WHAT WE CARRY by Amanda Gorman and BLACK SHIELD MAIDEN by Willow Smith. If that wasn't enough, Melisa is also a Staff Writer for PocketFM and has scripted several short-form drama series. We also explore what it takes succeed in the film industry, how you have to believe you can figure it out before you're ready and dive head first into a new skillset, and how that 'can-do' mindset is the rare gift that has gotten her this far. Other topics covered include SUCCESSION, soap operas, preventing deaths by choking, and tomato vine groomers, not in that order. You can find Melisa on Instagram @sheisnotmelissa. You can find the podcasts she co-hosts with Meghan Rienks @meghanandmelisa, including "Don't Blame Me / But Am I Wrong." Thanks for listening! If you haven't, please subscribe.
