On this second inaugural episode of Skipper, I speak with Abby Greensfelder. Greensefelder is the founder and CEO of Everywoman Studios, a purpose-built media company whose mission is to tell female-focused stories that might not otherwise be told, and that can have a positive impact on our culture.
Everywoman Studios is Greensfelder’s second entrepreneurial venture. She is also a co-founder of Half Yard Productions, an award-winning production company specializing in non-fiction series and documentaries, including the global franchise Say Yes to the Dress for TLC, fan favorite How the States Got Their Shapes for History and critically-acclaimed The Last Alaskans for Discovery.
Prior to starting Half Yard Productions, Greensfelder was senior vice president of programming and development for Discovery Channel, where she launched brand-defining programs, including Deadliest Catch, MythBusters, and the award-winning Planet Earth.
Greensfelder and I discuss her experiences and journey through the world of production, why and how she decided on production, and advice she would give to the younger generation on how to find that passion that we are all looking for.
Enjoy
