BEN BLISS

Send us Fan MailMost of us spend years learning how to sing... and almost no time learning how to build a career.For Podcast #314, tenor Ben Bliss came all the way to my home in Virginia to sit down and talk about both.Ben's new book, Making It Work: The Practical Guide to Financial and Entrepreneurial Literacy for Freelancers in the Performing Arts, tackles the side of this profession that rarely gets taught—money, contracts, business, long-term thinking, and how to make a life in the arts that's actually sustainable.We also talk about his own career, the realities of freelancing, and the lessons we both wish we'd known much earlier.If you're a singer, musician, actor, or anyone making a living as a freelancer, I think you'll get a lot from this conversation.Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.
