Episode 15: Sheila Nevins

Be careful what you wish for. When I do these podcasts, I’m always looking for an experience in the moment with the person I’m talking to-something real, nothing canned. And what an experience I had spending the afternoon with Sheila Nevins. The woman who spent 35 years at HBO reinventing how we think about documentaries is no shrinking violet. She’s funny, competitive and extraordinarily accomplished. Who else do you know whose work has been recognized with 65 Emmys? I can promise you a unique experience listening to Nevins’ take on facelifts, what women have to do to get ahead and dreams about what’s to come.
