294 - Finding Success As A Writer, When To Take A Mental Health Break From Social Media, And The Tangent 25 - Indie Talk Feat. Writer, Actor, and Film Director Matt Williams

Hello, Hello! Nick is on vacation, so in this edition of Indie Talk, Writer, Actor, and Director Matt Williams joins Chris in this Wonderland-rabbit-hole exploration of a conversation. Chris and Matt talk about why creatives should move to Los Angeles to play at the highest levels, finding success as a writer, and when to take a break from social media for the sake of their mental health (but, can non-celebrity creatives afford to?), and 25 tangents destined and designed to educate, inspire and entertain.
