And is it worth it to do it anyway?The answers are honest, funny, tender, and encouraging. This is an episode about courage, waiting, self-doubt, resilience, and why it’s important to keep showing up, even when the outcome is uncertain.We’re excited to introduce you to some of the talent you may one day be seeing on your television screen, so that you can also encourage them in their journey.
