Today's guest is Writer, Director, Acting Coach Anne Dremann.   Anne has been my coach for the past year and I take a class once a week.  She really loves the entertainment field and has a ton of knowledge on what it takes to make it in the business.   She is really hard to pin down so I am so honored to have her on the podcast.   She talks about the business, her years on Walker Texas Ranger with Chuck Norris,  her favorite book & more.  She reads a scene with me from my favorite movie "Back to the Future". This scene was in the draft but did not make it to the screen.  I don't know why a Marty/Lorraine scene could be cut out because the awkwardness of those two together is so hilarious. If you need more information on Anne Dremann or would like to contact her, you can contact her by email at dremann26@gmail.com.   --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sage-mayer/support

It's the most wonderful time of the year, the giving season. Welcome to episode 5 of Retro Reads with Sage. Our guest is the marketing director of eTruism, Erika. eTrusim is an organization that provides a tax-friendly inventory management option for donating companies and takes the excess inventories and makes it available to customers to purchase. Those purchases are converted into cash to the customer's charity of choice. Donations are made to causes like hunger, environmental causes, animal welfare, education, disaster relief, and homelessness. How brilliant! and so needed! eTruism is a 501(c)3 non-profit started in 2018 as an extension of a project started by classmates at the UCLA Anderson School of Management. I first heard about eTrusim in Atlanta, GA while at a kids conference over a year ago and couldn't get the concept out of my head. I thought it would be great to introduce the Retro Reads listener to this amazing organization. Your Retro Read today is The Giving Tree, a children's picture book written and illustrated by Shel Silverstein. This book is for ages 0 to 100 and the message is perfect for the giving season.
