Meet Betsy Beers, the Executive Producer of Shondaland. For over 20 years, Beers has been helping to fuel our collective cultural obsessions by producing shows like Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, How to Get Away With Murder, and, of course, Bridgerton. But Betsy’s path was not without roadblocks—and she hardly knew what a producer even did before she became one. Join her and Sali as they get into it all, including:
• saying goodbye to being an actress and learning to be a producer.
• surviving sexist job interviews.
• meeting her long-time creative partner, Shonda Rhimes.
• making Grey's Anatomy and why it was "hell."
• the importance of being a mentor, and a mentee.
