“My heart is just so thankful for you for being with me.”

“We both (me and Matt Davis) were speaking at events for filmmakers and we both loved education and we both like a microphone, so we just thought it would be really fun. And we did it. And that's where Studio Sherpas was launched.”

“As I reflect on all 400 episodes, all of the ups and downs and, you know, so many highs and so many lows, the thing that still rings true today as what I think is the most important is community.”

“It’s amazing the opportunities I’ve gotten just by having a show. The people that have said yes to be on this show… these people wouldn’t have a conversation with me if I didn't have a podcast.”
