141. Make Agents Want You with Brian Patacca

THE Brian Patacca is back on the podcast for his third appearance on One Broke Actress. Joined by some very vocal peacocks, Brian is here to talk all things representation. Over the past two years, Brian has really honed in on helping actors show up in their daily career with plans, quality to-do lists, and solid mental health. He has helped over 542 actors sign with their agents and gained quite a lot of experience dealing with representation along the way. We are covering what being a good client means, what being a good agent means, and everything in-between.
