Episode 6

{6} - My Five Minutes Episode 6 - Which Jobs DO you Say Yes To.

Artists treat gigs like dogs treat a bone; they think it's the last one they will ever have, so when another one comes around, they sometimes jump at it and say yes before they are even done with the first one. As I type this, I wish I had included this in the actual episode. In this episode of My Five Minutes, I (that is Dan Vado) talk about the uneasy math of creative work: when to say yes, when to say no, and how hard it can be to tell the difference when you are trying to build a career, pay the bills, keep the lights on, or just prove that you belong in the room. Most of the time, when people offer you low-paying gigs with the promise of exposure, it's usually bullshit. But it's not 100% true, just mostly true. Then I talk about myself, which is boring, then it all ends thank God.
