Ryan O’Connell - Using Personal Stories to Create Something Larger than Yourself

Lightning Bugs: Conversations with Ben Folds

Today we spoke with Ryan O’Connell, the amazing writer, actor, showrunner, director, comedian, and activist. We spoke about formulating a writing process, how the content we create changes with age, wearing your influences on your sleeves to create something for yourself, owning your troll, and much more. We also spoke about Ryan’s Netflix show “Special” and about creating content that is for a community but also comes from a very personal place.
