Hi, I’m Sara Scoggins and I love good conversation; with anyone. After living in Los Angeles for almost ten years (wow, really ten years?) I’ve met some incredible people with stories I want to share. Between friends who work in front of the camera, behind the scenes, and everywhere in between, I’ve been inspired, challenged and motivated by them all. And you will be too.
Let’s Talk with Scoggs is about sharing stories, passions, and perspective. We’ll get to know each other a little better, have some fun, and tackle your advice questions. Please don’t be shy, email me at [email protected] with any advice or topics!
Catch the show every Wednesday at 10pm EST and you can subscribe on iTunes! Hope to talk soon.

I was so happy to share his story with all of you, and I hope you’re inspired to get your project going.
