Actor, writer, director, producer, and life-lover Carrie Schiffler joins us to talk about her memoir From the Corner of Bad and Ass (and the forthcoming Beyond the Corner of Bad and Ass) rejection and perseverance and how a life in the arts can carry a person forward. In a wide-ranging conversation, we get real about all of it: laughter, pain, Trauma, and joy, and how creativity is sometimes the only response.

I am the award-winning and bestselling author of the novels UNTHINKABLE, NOTHING BUT LIFE, BOY, and SAINTS, UNEXPECTED, as well as the story collection CUT ROAD. My stories appear in literary journals on both sides of the Atlantic, and have won the Bristol Short Story Prize, The Fiddlehead Best Fiction Award, the Lush Triumphant Literary Award, and numerous other accolades. A recovering army medic, tree planter, radio announcer, and high school English teacher, I now spend my time podcasting, writing, teaching, and figuring out what it means to be a family man.
