Happy Tuesday, everyone!

Happy Holidays! A quick note that I'm taking a wee break for the holidays, but am excited to resume with more incredible guests and chats in 2020.

Until then, this week I sat down with Emmy nominated filmmaker Xan Aranda. She's a producer/showrunner/director/writer who has\xa0been described as a unicorn:\xa0a producer with both the logistical and creative brain.

We've been circling each other a quite some time, so this meeting was a few years in the making. And let me tell you\u2026it was worth the wait.\xa0 Her resume is varied and impressive.

Most recently, she was the EP on season 1 of\xa0 HBO\u2019s Room 104 alongside\xa0the Duplass Brothers, two of my indie heroes.

In many ways, she\u2019s been a producer for over 25 years. She\u2019s spent her 20s and 30s working non-stop, and now finally fresh into her 40s, she\u2019s slowing down a bit. On her terms\u2026which for most producers usually means simply being able to eat lunch in silence.

This hour is filled with gems and inspirational anecdotes. We discuss the importance of\xa0associate\xa0producers,\xa0how she's taking part in paradigm shift post #MeToo, and \xa0what real wealth means in Hollywood.

Enjoy!
