Frank Portman has been a big influence on me for over half my life. From his days as the songwriter and front man for the popular rock group The Mr. T Experience to his current work as an author, Frank’s writing has played a big role in how I see and reinterpret the world in my own storytelling. Obviously, I jump at the chance to talk writing with him any chance I get and in this special bonus episode we catch up to talk about his new book ‘King Dork Approximately’, the demise and resurgence of his rock band The Mr. T Experience and the herculean task of creating stories from a personal place that resonate with a larger audience. If you’re a writer or creative of any form I think you’ll love this episode!
