Being Creative During Negative Times

“So, if you can bring yourself to a point where you can create, you have the ability to actually do something and not just think about it.”

Scott Firestone is a showrunner, writer, director, and executive producer of his own production company Firestone Productions and the podcast Poddreams. He has launched iconic series such as Behind the Music, Extra, and World of Wonder.
