This week as we wrap up with Nik Walker and Sarah Joyce we dive into what brings joy and fulfillment into each of their lives, both in the day to day and creatively. Sarah tells us some ways we can write our legacy by leaving less behind, Nik shares a word on picking up the pen, and we all check in on how important it is to take a break. Come with us as we venture through the Disney Parks, put on your sorting hats, it's the final episode of date night!

We're back with Nik Walker and Sarah Joyce for part two of our three part double date! This week Nik and Sarah answer questions from the Patreon Peeps, tell us where to find the best pizza in the country and how touring gave him a chance to better know his literary hero.

We talk where she is, where she started, and the flames that fed her Eliza to have such burning passion.   Alexander Hamilton to Elizabeth Schuyler, 20 July 1780: “You would love even my weaknesses…”   Hannah on Instagram Hannah on Twitter

Hannah Cruz peels off the mask to take us on her journey into Eliza. In part one of our two part conversation, we talk the worlds you keep creating in your mind, grappling with forgiveness, and what it’s like living in the greatest city in the world.
