John Green didn’t aspire to become a celebrated author and YouTube host. When he graduated from college, he planned to become an Episcopalian Minister because he wanted to share ideas with a captive audience. Years later, he published the book The Fault in Our Stars and he found himself in front of a massive audience. John tells Alex about his struggle with the unexpected fame and the challenge of publishing the follow-up to his most popular novel.
