Carving a Career Outside the Box with Connor Konz
We don’t always end up doing what we had envisioned for ourselves growing up. Sometimes the career journey is about staying curious and open to new suggestions. Connor Konz is an actor, improviser, a cosplay wizard, and makeup designer. Starting out as a child actor, he now hosts some of the most fun, interactive drag events in Chicago. Connor explains how he landed his role as a cosplay host and where his inspiration comes from. We also discuss ways to show up for your creative work when you have a day job to support yourself for now.
