This week on the podcast is our interview with stand-up comedian and actor, Steve Byrne.  He talks about what it was like starting out in comedy clubs in NYC, thinking of oneself as a brand, and the importance of networking and how it served as a catalyst for many of his successful projects over the years.  Steve's story of perseverance and being open to opportunity is relevant to everyone in the arts.

This week on the podcast is part one of an interview with Bess Wallerstein Huff and Kelly Main, co-founders of Show Delivered--an entertainment company that "brings the show to you."  Bess and Kelly discuss their experiences in theater and share why they decided to launch Show Delivered.  We think you'll find it inspiring to hear how they recognized an opportunity to bring arts into their community and create work for artists who were hit hard by the pandemic.
