The Hollywood Approach To Great Work! with Kristina Paider | UYGW036

This week we are getting the professional Hollywood “zhoosh!”

Developmental editor and writing coach Kristina Paider shares how she became the “story doctor.” Starting in a small town in Wisconsin, while bleeding green and gold for the Packers, Paider takes us along her path through Journalism, International PR, and then her courageous decision to fully immerse herself in screenwriting and book doctoring.

Whether she’s jumping down waterfalls, being a chocolate chef, or riding motorcycles around the Dominican Republic, Kristina Paider’s journey of Great Work is nothing short of a Hollywood Thrill Ride.
