Welcome Connor!

Connor Hines — actor, writer, producer, and creator of Love Story — stops by Clyde Confidential with his assistant Sam for one of the most candid, behind-the-scenes conversations yet. From how Sam went from saying "good morning" as a Ryan Murphy receptionist to packing up his life in five days and moving to New York, to Connor pitching his way into the "Show Creator" title against all odds, this episode is a masterclass in saying yes before you're ready.

Connor opens up about what it was really like to create and showrun for the first time — the imposter syndrome, the 18-hour shoot days, the loneliness of the job, and the moment he watched the pilot in the back of an Uber and finally knew they had something. Sam gets his flowers too, because this is just as much his story: navigating eight Brooklyn roommates, a flooded apartment, and learning on the fly what it means to be a creator's right hand — not just logistics, but creative sounding board, confidant, and therapist.

Whether you're chasing your own big break or just need a reminder that momentum beats standing still, this one's going to hit.

Hollywood doesn't run on red carpets; it runs on assistants. Podcast hosted by Meghan Grimm

Hollywood doesn't run on red carpets; it runs on assistants. Behind every headline is the person who booked the car, confirmed the call time, and packed the snacks. In Hollywood, assistants aren't background; they're the operating system. From mailroom gigs, set runners and first feature films to all the chaos behind closed doors, Clyde Confidential lifts the curtain on the industry's most defining (and sometimes mortifying) early career moments. Hosted by Meghan Grimm, founder of the elite entertainment staffing agency Clyde, this podcast brings together the movers and shakers of Hollywood: clients, creators, and ex-assistants turned power players to dish on the real stories from their career journeys and biggest lessons that came out of them.
