In this on-location episode from Chapman University, we sit down with Stephen Galloway, Dean of Dodge College of Film and Media Arts, and former executive editor & reporter for 27 years at The Hollywood Reporter. We explore a career shaped by curiosity, courage, and reinvention. From pioneering Hollywood's iconic roundtables to mentoring the next generation of storytellers, Stephen shares what he's learned about creativity, leadership, and why the importance of an original idea is the foundation of any creative project. We talk about the future of film, the impact of AI, the evolution of storytelling, and why your third act in life might be your most important one yet! But underneath all of it is something quieter. What decades of sitting across from Hollywood's most celebrated names taught him about success, loneliness, and what really matters in life.

What starts as a fearless “yes” at 16 turns into a life full of unexpected twists, creative reinvention, and full-circle moments. Tiffany Perry opens up about building a photography career from scratch, navigating motherhood and setbacks, and ultimately creating a life rooted in passion and purpose.
