My guest for this episode, Shannon O'Dowd, has one of the most unique perspectives of the camera-ready universe of anyone I've ever interviewed because her experience covers every aspect of the industry both in-front of and behind the camera. Shannon is an on-camera host, commercial spokesperson, actor, media trainer, certified life coach, author, CEO of Shannon O'Dowd Presents and agent with Taylor Talent Services.
When Shannon says determination is essential for success, she knows what she's talking about. She also revealed:
- Being a performing and earning a living at it is one of the most challenging things you can do
- If you wake up in the morning and there is anything else that you wanna do for a living, you should go do that
- Be coachable and open to feedback - it's as important as your determination
- Learn to adjust your vision and pivot with purpose (you'll reap the rewards)
- Ask yourself: Who do I need to know? and Who needs to know me?
