(Yes, that\u2019s a real job, and yes, it\u2019s exactly as cool as it sounds.) We talk about the creative grind: from the challenges of writing and producing short films to the rush of comedy and the craft of acting. Mike shares stories from the stage, the page, and behind the camera, giving us a glimpse into the unpredictable life of a storyteller. And because no conversation is complete without a plot twist, we dive into what it\u2019s like to track weather conditions for aviation safety. Spoiler: it involves more than just looking out the window and guessing if it\u2019ll rain. In this episode we cover: \u00b7         The joys and chaos of writing and performing comedy \u00b7         How short films test every ounce of creativity \u00b7         What actors bring to the table beyond the script \u00b7         Life lessons from balancing art and a \u201cday job\u201d at the airport \u00b7         Observing the weather and chasing tornados Connect with Mike Schwab:Mike Schwab on LinkedIn \ud83c\udfa7 Were You Still Talking? is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you like to listen.
