I promised I would bring you guests from a variety of industries and so it will be with my guest this month. Have you ever wondered how a playwright spends their time? Have you gone to the theatre and thought "I could write a play! My guest David Gilna, aka The Irish Playwright, writes plays for a living. He has three successful plays under his belt and is working on his next commission at the moment. I first met David last year and was struck by his professionalism and approach to the arts world. Being a playwright isn't a normal career path so I sat down this week to ask David about what it takes to be a successful playwright and what lessons can we learn from his industry.

I love doing this and I love that you listen. It means a huge amount to me that you give me your ears for 1 hour a month. The best Christmas gift you could give me would be to share this with all your friends and if you are feeling like a real secret Santa then subscribe and give it a 5 star rating on itunes. It helps get the content out to even more people.

If you have a guest you'd like to hear from or you have some comment on this show please drop me a mail at stephen@stephennaughton.com. You can find more from me on instagram @goodbossbadbosspodcast
