Manage episode 371034163 series 2795545
Today we're joined by Diane Bergner, a Florida-based author and Vice President of Development at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts. Bergner, a former attorney, shares the parallels between her career journey and the intriguing lead character of her book, "The Royal Coconut Beach Lunch Club." We explore the glamorous and gritty world of non-profit work, reflecting the layered narrative of Bergner's writing. She walks us through her transition from law to philanthropy, her engaging introduction to the world of writing, and the dynamic interactions with wealthy individuals that fuel her characters. Bergner's deep dive into the art of storytelling reveals the motivations behind her book, providing more than just a "beach read" experience. We also discuss the Kravis Center's future plans and Bergner's early-morning writing routine.
I also offer my perspective on public transportation issues in Denver, CO and Greenville, SC. You won't want to miss this episode - it's a compelling blend of literary insight and real-world reflections.
