This week, Jen and Pete go through ten lessons that Jen has learned over her twenty years of coaching actors. (Which are the possible table of contents for her book!)

Specifically, in this episode Jen and Pete talk about (in no particular order):

1. If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there.
2. Your marketing tells a story...whether you know it or not, whether you like it or not. So know it and like it.
3. Type is a distraction.
4. It's not about who you know, it's about who you are willing to introduce yourself to.
5. If it doesn't exist on the calendar (or in the contract), it doesn't exist.
6. Have taste, dammit.
7. Communication is the answer.
8. No amount of good marketing can make up for a lack of chops.
9. You are running a business.
10. The more you know, the more you know.
