From debating the greatest villains in Shakespeare to discussing the grit required to ignore the gatekeepers of the publishing world, this conversation is a masterclass in work ethic and humbleness. Maddie opens up about the "tumultuous teens" marked by tragedy, the pressure of being labeled an "inspiration," and how her deep faith and love for stories kept her grounded.  STAY IN THE ORBIT 🪐 Instagram 👉https://www.instagram.com/planettyruspod/ Facebook 👉https://www.facebook.com/PlanetTyrusPod X 👉https://x.com/PlanetTyrusPod Learn more about your ad choices.
