Can storytelling save us?
Hollywood veteran turned podcaster Alan Katz opens up about his rollercoaster ride — from the heights of Tales from the Crypt to a 20-year creative drought, to rediscovering purpose through podcasting. In this raw, unfiltered convo, Alan explores the seduction and betrayal of the entertainment industry, the personal trauma that silenced his voice, and how vulnerability and honesty became his superpowers.
🎧 Top 3 Highlights:
🎥 The real story behind Tales from the Crypt — and how a puppet became a franchise
🧠 How a writer’s block turned into a mental health crisis… and recovery
🎙️ Why podcasting may be the last truly honest storytelling platform
Alan’s mission now? To make the world a better place through storytelling — one truth-filled episode at a time.
✨ Whether you’re a creator, survivor, or seeker — this episode will inspire you to reclaim your voice.

Discipline. How does it play a role in your life? How does it drive your decisions? Do you have too much or too little? Every profession, hobby, or passion requires a level of discipline. I have used it in weight loss (+130 lbs.), family death, and found a +25 year business. Am I an expert? Absolutely not! Please join me, as I speak to interesting people and find out how discipline affects their career, life, goals, and decisions.
