If you’ve seen the film Don’t Look Up, authored by Adam McKay, or heard the song “This is America”, performed by Childish Gambino, then you know that entertainment provides subtle and direct commentaries on society. It is an ideal platform for presenting narratives that hopefully spark change.

The key to success in the entertainment industry is to really understand why you want to be there. It’s crucial to learn how to perform in a way that connects with and attracts the audience, but it is equally important to have a good understanding of the industry’s business side. If you can combine these aspects of entertaiment, then you will be set apart from other performers and your entertainment business will thrive.
