Actor, author, and podcaster Rainn Wilson recently joined Aaron Calafato for a live, in-person conversation for 7MS Presents: The Storytelling University, a special series from the 7 Minute Stories feed.
The conversation took place after one of Wilson’s events at Bowling Green State University, Calafato’s alma mater, and before Wilson continued on to his next stop at Notre Dame.
