You Gotta Be You (And a Little Messy) with Brandon Kyle Goodman

from The Parting Shot with H. Alan Scott

Get ready to get messy. This week, we're joined by the brilliant and hilarious Brandon Kyle Goodman for a gloriously unfiltered, absolutely NSFW chat. You know them as the writer and voice on Netflix's Big Mouth, but Brandon is a multi-talented force dedicated to helping us all embrace our most authentic, chaotic, and beautiful selves. We dive headfirst into their incredible book, You Gotta Be You, discussing everything from radical self-acceptance to the messy parts of life we're often told to hide. Brandon spills the tea on the inspiration behind their podcast, Tell Me Something Messy, and gives us a peek behind the curtain of their iconic "Messy Mondays" on Instagram. Strap in for a conversation that covers it all: the highs and lows of creative life, the power of owning your story, and why being a little bit messy is a goddamn superpower. Subscribe to my newsletter: https://www.newsweek.com/newsletter/the-culture/ Follow me: https://linktr.ee/halanscott Subscribe to Newsweek’s YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/newsweek See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
