This episode was one of my favorites to record! Jenn Chapman is a dream parent of a child actor! Her child was one of the first that I started working with. We talk about her journey as a mother of a child actor, how she and her husband create a safe and happy home for their kids, what she would suggest in terms of management and agents, and how to not create chaos for the kids OR the managers/agents. You don't want to miss this one! 

In this episode I interview manager Annet McCroskey, she owns the management company Artistic Endeavors. She is a powerhouse who knows exactly what she wants and works hard to get it for her clients! I could've talked to her for hours! This interview was SO good, SO fun and SO vulnerable. We talk about some important things like loyalty, what makes a good client, and how you can keep yourself invested in your manager's eyes!

I'm so excited for this episode! I recently traveled to Louisiana for work, & I'm sharing with you guys all of the amazing things I took away from this trip that I think are super applicable for actors like you! Things like being out of your comfort zone is a GOOD thing, there's no such thing as being TOO prepared, crossing the bridge in fear & how to focus on where you're going, & so much more! You don't want to miss this one!

We have a very special episode for you guys in honor of my birthday (June 11th)! My husband, Lance, and I talk off the cuff about all things life, Hollywood, and Dana! I ask him questions like "what's the craziest thing you've ever filmed?" and "what's the weirdest thing about me?" and "where are the cameras during all those crazy, reality tv reactions?". I hope you guys enjoy listening to this episode as much as we did recording it!

Listen, the hard truth is, part of being an actor is being a public figure, and I know it can be tough to stay relevant in this social media driven world that we live in. We can feel like we have to constantly be showing all of our wins and the newest thing we're doing. In this episode, I'm here to help you decide what IS and what is NOT appropriate to share on social media and give you a few tips on the difference between sharing and bragging. 

You asked for it; you got it! This episode has been frequently requested, and I thought it was time to deliver. Being that I was born and raised here in LA, and lived just off Melrose, I knew I had some golden nuggets for you guys! Here's what I covered: questions to ask yourself before planning an extended stay, managing expectations, being aware of your financial situation, cities to stay in, doing research on the part of town you'll be staying in, fun things to do while you're here, and a Q and A from the questions you guys asked in my Facebook Group! This episode is SO much fun! I hope you enjoy it! xo, Dana
