Welcome to The Write Start Podcast. I’m your host, Lisa Iannucci. Happy 2025 and I’m starting this podcast off on the right foot. Today my guest is actor/producer, SEAN KANAN and his wife MICHELE KANAN. Sean you know either from Netflix’s COBRA KAI (one of my favorite shows), CBS’s The Bold & The Beautiful, the original Karate Kid, his Emmy-winning role on Studio City, or any of his other film/TV credits).

Michele Kanan is an Emmy-winning producer, writer, and director. She has produced several films, including Darkness of Man starring Jean-Claude Van Dam, 'Til Death Do Us Part, and the sci-fi film Colonials, starring Greg Kriek. In 2021, Michele won an Emmy for OUTSTANDING DIGITAL DRAMA for STUDiO CiTY (streaming on Amazon Prime, Tubi, and Roku), which has received over twenty Emmy nominations.

Together and the reason they are talking to me is because they co-authored the book WAY OF THE COBRA COUPLES which is not their first book. We dive into that book and the others, Sean’s interest in writing, how they worked as a team to write a book, and more, and yes, they do provide some relationship advice for the new year.

Now I have to admit that for some reason I found myself a little loud at the beginning of the interview. I must have been exciting to do the interview! But I do settle down after a little bit. I hope you enjoy the interview too. Let’s get started!
