Join me and my great friend, aerial athlete, educator, and powerhouse: Shannon McKenna, for a very fancy conversation!

If you're looking for the waitlist for Cycle 26 of The Audacity Project, you can find it right here.

Highlights include:

• How we met (we don't remember) and how we became close (because those are different things) by going through The Artist's Way together.  Even though we were already friends before that.
• What gives you the AUDACITY?  
• Considering the impact you wish to make on the world
• On Making Your Life as an Artist a truly open source resource by Andrew Simonet.  You can use the link above to download the book on a sliding scale (including for free)
• Creating the next phase of life, and exploring the next phase of life as a circus artist
• How I found my voice at 35, because of course Shannon started asking ME questions
• On accents and dialects in theater
• Disciplines in circus and what's next on the horizon 
• On Grief.  If you listen to nothing else this episode, listen to this, around 30:00.  Grief, and how it affects your brain, and how to know when you should take a real break from social media because of grief.
• How our grief cycles overlapped
• The Inversion Encyclopedia (previously known as Aerial Inversions for All) Shannon's most popular resource
• How time + attention = change
• Everything in nature has periods of stagnation
• How you don't even KNOW about Monday...
• Her best advice to emerging artists about how you can truly value yourself and take your work seriously (it's bangorang!)

You can check out tons of resources from Shannon here on her website, or visit her on Instagram which you undoubtedly already do...but just in case, you should.

Habeas corpus, bitches.

Don't go back to sleep.
