Okay guys, Alexis here, I am producing this podcast by myself and it's getting weird to talk about myself in the third person. So, hi. In this episode I share my goal with this podcast, my start in the arts industry, and my challenges along the way. I really get vulnerable. While it's not perfect, (my story and the production), I know that the content is great. It cuts behind all the fluff and exposes the real life behind business and social media! I hope you love it, and if you do please give me a rating and subscribe! xAlexis
