About this listen
Rafael Alvarez’s career is anything but linear. One summer, he’s hauling lines on a ship bound for Puerto Rico; the next, he’s at The Baltimore Sun crafting obituaries that capture the heart of a city. Later, he’s writing for The Wire—a show whose second season he knew in his bones from a lifetime on the docks.
In this conversation, Rafael shares the winding path that’s taken him back and forth between the sea and the written word, the importance of relationships in career pivots, and why faith often trumps confidence when life throws you overboard.
💥 You’ll hear:
- How Rafael leveraged his maritime roots into a Hollywood writing career
- Why “start where you can” is underrated career advice
- What obituaries can teach you about humanity?
- The secret power of asking for opportunities (even in an elevator)
