John Heffron's Second Draft Society - for the youngest of the old people

You're not starting over. You're starting from experience. The Second Draft Society is a weekly email for people who have enough life behind them to laugh at it... and enough life ahead to keep writing new chapters. Every week you'll get thoughtful humor, quiet realizations, behind-the-scenes stories from the road, nostalgic discoveries, and practical ideas for navigating the second half of life. No politics. No outrage. No inbox clutter. Just one email worth opening.

Inside you'll find things like:

  • Dean's Note — a story or observation from my week.

  • Freshman Class — one lesson from the second half of life.

  • Quiet Realizations — the thoughts you didn't know other people were having.

  • Found in the Junk Drawer — nostalgia, odd discoveries, and forgotten treasures.

  • Campus Bulletin — upcoming shows, books, projects, and whatever I'm building next.

Whether you've seen me on stage for years or you're just finding me now, welcome.Class starts every week.Enroll below.
