TYE 118: Emmy Award-winning Simpsons writer Tom Martin on how to tell a story
Manage episode 319850162 series 2505933
Tom Martin has won multiple Emmy Awards as a writer for The Simpsons and WordGirl.
But he's not just a funny guy with a knack for entertainment.
He's someone who has learned the art of using writing - funny or not - to go inside people·s lives and share their journeys in a way that touches others.
Here, he joins The YES Effect podcast with Shelli Varela with advice on how to land big opportunities and how you can find inspiration from just about anything - even being a volunteer firefighter (which he is).
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How Tom got a job as a writer for The Simpsons
- How saying “no” is a truly powerful way to, in fact, say “yes”
- Why so many people fail to bring great ideas to life (hint: start telling people)
- Why being nervous to put yourself out there is actually a good thing
- A big lesson he learned as a standup comedian: people really don’t care about you…and that’s to your advantage.
- How Tom learned to stay cool and composed during the biggest fire in Colorado history
- Why writers should swear as much as possible in your first draft
