Reality TV Producer Maz Farrelly and What We Can Learn From Community By Dismantling It?

If you have ever watched reality television, you've likely watched something by Maz Farrelly, AKA Maz Speaks. Her impressive resume includes shows like Big Brother, X Factor, and Farmer Wants a Wife, but the list goes on and on. Maz is a former, and some would say recovering, reality TV producer turned speaker, author and 'CEO whisperer'.

When it comes to making a hit reality series, she knows exactly what makes it work - the four C's. Comedy, characters, conflict, and consequence. In this podcast, she explores a fifth C: community.

As is imaginable when it comes to an industry that relies so heavily on personalities, community is an extremely important element on set. Maz tells us stories ranging from allowing people to speak up when things are not okay - that doing so is not an indication of a community being weak, but rather being strong and safe, all the way to how contestants behaved on The Celebrity Apprentice or Big Brother. Maz's insights are unique and compelling, allowing us to understand community through an intriguing lens: reality television.
