When he started telling stories for RISK!, he was known as Ernest Anfin. Then the pandemic hit and live storytelling was shuttered. Like so many others, he went to TikTok and soon amassed over 135,000 followers as Zerman Zane. On both RISK! and TikTok, Zerman shares stories of parenthood and childhood, love and anguish, success and failure, hope and despair. He is guided by the principle that there should be no difference between the story and the storyteller. The greatest beauty—the greatest wisdom of life comes from things that are authentic and real, even if they are sometimes difficult to hear.
