Listen Later

In this episode with TV and Broadway Actor Christine Lin, we dive into her fascinating journey, from getting a biomedical and electrical engineering degree from Duke University, to giving up that path to be a theatre actor in Chicago before returning to it as a consultant, and eventually moving to NYC to star in a Broadway play (David Henry Hwang's "Chinglish") before settling in LA. We also dive into her martial arts training, the Chicago theatre scene, how being a mother sharpens your self-healing abilities, and the power of giving something a go even when you're unsure about the outcome. Other topics include landing representation, productivity apps, the importance of building up your savings when times are good if you work in a creative field, and how COVID and the strikes have impacted the entertainment industry.
