Lynn Harris - writer, comedian, activist, and founder of Gold Comedy - joins us for a lively conversation about building a platform for emerging comedy voices and how humor can be a cultural force for connection and change. From her early days in standup to launching a digital-first comedy community, Lynn shares her founder journey, the formula behind a great joke, and why taking every shot matters in both creativity and business. We talk about what it means to be “serious about comedy,” how Gold is creating real pathways into the industry, and why funny women are the future of everything. Plus: a peek into Gold’s growing content studio, how to own your voice, and why the grind is the process.

Three-time Emmy-nominated writer, director, and producer Ryan Cunningham joins Sarah to talk about building a creative life that embraces mess, momentum, and meaning. From her work on Broad City to her award-winning indie film Lone Wolves, Ryan shares how neurodivergence shapes her process—and why juggling multiple projects might actually be her secret weapon.
We get into the myth of “clever” writing, how to make space for honesty in your work, and what it means to pursue storytelling that’s equal parts heart and hustle.
If you’re a multi-hyphenate with big ideas and a cluttered desktop, this one’s for you.

From giving TED Talks as a teen to debuting an off-Broadway one-woman show, writer, performer, and cultural icon Ruby Karp has spent a lifetime in the spotlight, and she’s got the stage presence (and battle scars) to prove it. In this hilarious and unfiltered episode, Ruby joins me to talk about her show I Don’t Trust Adults, growing up on the internet, finding her comedic voice, and navigating public life with grit, grace, and a lot of oversharing.
We get into:

• What it really takes to build a career in entertainment
• Bombing on stage and why it’s essential
• Social media burnout and being “seen” in the age of TikTok
• The awkward glory of being a gifted, cringey kid
• The tension between ambition and actual joy
• Why comedy might be the most honest form of healing

This episode is part girl talk, part masterclass, and entirely delightful. If you’ve ever questioned your path, hated your press photo, or secretly hoped your ex sees your reel, this one’s for you. For whatever it’s worth, I couldn’t adore Ruby more, and I can’t wait to see how far her stardom takes her. She’s full of talent, and already a seasoned entertainment veteran.
