Marina Shifrin is a comedy writer who created an interpretive dance resignation video garnering millions of views. She has seen success throughout her professional career, including having worked on Talk Show the Game Show (TruTV), Problematic (Comedy Central), Comedy Central Presents: ClusterFest (duh, Comedy Central), Wizard School Dropout (Eko) and she has written on a handful of pilots you've never seen. Previously, Marina was an Emmy-award winning digital producer on @midnight (Comedy Central, again). That's her resume, but what got her on my radar was her book 30 Before 30.
In this episode, we discuss Marina's book 30 Before 30, a collection of essays detailing thirty things she wanted to do before the age of thirty and ranging in scope from the simple (Ride A Bike Over the Brooklyn Bridge, Donate Hair) to the life-changing (Move to A Different Country, Become Famous). Each story shows readers that we don't all have it figured out, and that's okay, even if you are way over thirty.
Marina also offers insightful
and useful advice on preparing to go viral and to handle closure
and celebrate milestones in these pandemic
times.
Tune in to hear Marina’s thoughts pertaining to:
Graduation Season in the U.S. is here, so I asked Marina this question because she is a child of immigrants: As a child of immigrants, what would you suggest to those who are set to graduate in 2020 or experiencing a major milestone, how can they celebrate their accomplishments in light of the pandemic?
