Special 01: Carolina’s Journey
Flipping The Script: Just Who is our Host, Carolina Groppa?
Hiii everybody!
This week on the show, we are flipping things on its head a little bit. I'm often asked about my story, my journey, my advice... so I figured it could be a fun opportunity to have my associate producer, Sarah Bockian, take the reins as interviewer and put me in the hot seat.
Sarah joined the team six months ago at the start of the writers’ strike and has been working behind the scenes with me to help bring these episodes to life. She comes from the world of development and writers’ room support staff, having worked on comedies and dramas for both broadcast and streaming.
As this is her formal introduction on the show, she’d like the listeners to know two things:
She’s available for staffing (and also Showrunners’ Assistant and Writers’ Assistant positions), and…
She was super congested during the recording of this episode, and she’s 90% sure her voice normally sounds less annoying.
In this episode, we cover everything from my immigration to America to egos at work, and the one set experience that still haunts me to this day.
Key Takeaways:
Make your own opportunities, don’t wait for them to find you.
The most valuable business relationships are about depth, not quantity.
Hold on to your spark.
Enjoy!
