Hey there, hero!

Most of the decisions that are made in the professional world revolve around money, and they are never on schedule.

(Thanks to EM Forster for this episode's thought starter.)

Much of what happens is random, unpredictable and not based in the arts, but rather in the commerce.

And you need to be OK with that.

I hope that money isn't looked at as a bad thing, either from the funding of projects so you can get work, or from you getting paid to do those things.

Are you OK with money? How's your relationship with the commerce aspect (rather than the art aspect) of acting, VO or writing? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

This episode revolves around that Deadline article, tough love, math, logic and being careful what you wish for, because you just might get it.

And you also might get some unexpected consequences you might be facing.

And we need to understand that potential work is at the pleasure of the partners we seek: the people with whom we want to work.

And their math is what needs to be understood. They have a task that's very different from yours: they are looking for the right person for the work.

Here...read this article (if you haven't already):

How did that Deadline article land with you? Were you shocked and outraged? Or were you well aware of this casting calculus? Let me know in the comments below.

Hey there, hero!

It's a lovely day when you're recognized as a professional at what you do.

You likely get paid. You get respect from your peers. You feel accomplished.

But moving from amateur to pro can feel like you're leaving something behind.

It just might be...love.

I think I can help you bridge the gap between what you gain and what you lose when you make the leap to pro.

If you've already "gone pro," what do you miss? If you are still an amateur, what do you value about the journey and where you are? Let me know in the comments below.
