BYOL GETS CROSS! 

Dave's guest this week is televison writer/producer Alan Cross (Pop Up Video, Redneck Island, Celebrity Deathmatch)! 

Originally from Texas, Alan and Dave met on the audition circuit in NYC.  Now living in Los Angeles, Alan has focused his career on writing and producing for several big-name series.  He tells Dave about growing up in Fort Worth, his early career in radio, the decision that brought him to New York, what cause his career shift, and his thoughts on moving to the West Coast.  He also talks about his creative process, how he manages his ADHD, how technology isn't the answer, and what it's like working with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin!
