As artist and performers, we get to do some pretty exciting work. We tour the world, perform on the biggest stages, and get to create work that does not exist in the world. These however are the highlights of the career but not necessarily the norm.

In this episode, Brandon talks about the mundane life of the performer and how we can stay engaged in our work. The life of an artist is challenging and dancers need to check in with how their needs are being met and if/when to find fulfillment elsewhere.
How can we keep our work interesting, continue to learn, and recognize the benefits of the work we need to do?

A part of building a sustainable career means being able to do consistent work. Sometimes that means making the work yourself while you wait for work to show up on your doorstep. The challenges of this career are guaranteed but how we deal with them is up to the individual.

In part two of this episode, Brandon continues to shares how to build a career that is sustainable through the highs and lows. To build a more sustainable career we need to:

1. Give ourselves many different experiences early on
2. Celebrate both the big and little wins
3. Practice abundance over scarcity.
4. Be willing to show up when others don't
5. Know everything comes to an end
6. Just stay in the game the longest

Growing up as dancers, we hear a variety of messages about what to expect in our careers. Teachers, parents, and other mentors tell us how our time is limited, how how competitive the field is, and how only the strongest survive. This does have some truth to it however, this kind of thinking can lead to some limiting ideas that might hold us back from thriving in this career.
