AUTHOR, LIFE COACH AND ENTREPRENEUR [Eric Gee] - Wordsleuth's 37th Pass-the-Baton Instagram Live Interview (Word Improv Community) (March 19, 2024)

Eric Gee has administered personality-based life coaching for more than twenty years. He built a successful education company that used his personality typing method to better the lives of more than twenty thousand students, parents, and teachers. As creator of the Youtopia Project website and the Youtopia 16 assessment, he has disseminated his method to over half a million users since the website’s creation in 2016. His coaching program has been used in companies (Hulu, Disney), universities, and over forty school districts.

Eric graduated from UCLA, where he studied English literature and screenwriting. Coincidentally, he’s also a classically trained pianist, backyard-trained barbecue dilettante, three-time fantasy football champion, professional mentor, and amateur magician. He owns Youtopia Creative, a shared creative workspace in Los Angeles, where he acts as both life coach and infinite Pez dispenser of saccharine bits of 80s and 90s pop culture.

Pass-the-Baton Interview # 37 is part of a series of Instagram Live interviews where contributors to Word Improv challenges (by @wordsleuth) interview one another so that the Word Improv community and our audience learn about Word Improv writers and their work.  The interviewee for one interview becomes the interviewer for the next! (hence, “Pass-the-Baton”). 

A Word Improv challenge is where participants are asked to incorporate a set of six “difficult” words into a broadly defined “story”, which includes a short story, poem, skit, song, etc.  Participants include authors, poets, screenwriters and anyone else who is a storyteller of some kind.  Each challenge kicks off after a set of six words is posted (over a period of several days) on the @wordsleuth page.
