In this first episode, The Premise interviews Gill Sotu. If you didn’t have a chance to hear Gill Sotu open up for Piper Kerman (author of Orange Is the New Black) at last year’s festival (2019), then you are missing out! In this Episode Jeniffer and Chad talk with playwright, poet, musician, positivity advocate and prolific hugger, Gill Sotu. They discuss the level of hustle involved in “making it” as an artist, the many things that make up his work, the support and inspiration he gets from his family, and his mission to spread the love by reaching towards the things that scare us. Oh, and also that time that he was seasick for 3 years straight. You’ll learn a lot about what makes Gill tick and there may even be a hug at the end.

BONUS: hear Gill’s 2019 performance at the end of the episode.
