Description

In this episode, Steve sits down with Fernando Alessandri, author, psychologist, filmmaker, comedian, and creative thinker whose work blends humor with surprising insight into human nature.

The conversation begins with Fernando's novel Agent Bigglesby: Not Dead Yet, a comedy imagining what happens when an aging super spy refuses to retire, but quickly expands into an engaging discussion about creativity, screenwriting, mental health, publishing, and finding humor in life's unexpected places.

Together they discuss:

  • Agent Bigglesby: Not Dead Yet
  • Turning a screenplay into a novel
  • Finding comedy in the aging process
  • Stand-up comedy and writing humor
  • Marketing an independently published book
  • Ghostwriters and the publishing industry
  • Psychology, trauma, and the power of storytelling
  • Creativity, inspiration, and building healthy writing habits
  • Lessons learned from Hollywood and filmmaking
  • Why life experience can make you a stronger writer

Fernando also shares practical advice for aspiring authors, discusses balancing creativity with a full-time career, and explains why some of the best stories come from observing the people around us with both honesty and compassion.
