Kate Spencers Grown Up Gigs recording is now available! - When I Grow Up

Kate Spencers Grown Up Gigs recording is now available! - When I Grow Up Image by Jenipher at Cherry Runway Despite the fact that Vokle was being a jerk Kate and I had to switch to a (fabulous!) new platform at the last second, we had the most fun in our Grown Up Gigs chat. In our hour together, we went over: how she found her dream career by building on her thing (which she didnt find until her early 20s) how talking to my friends and making them laugh can be Your Thing (that turns into a career!) why/how blogging is important (if you love it) even when it doesnt make you money directly how she got hired by VH1.com (youll be surprised) how she dealt with unsupportive people (and whats our responsibility as creatives to say to the rest of the world) when you should make your thing your career (and when it can just be your hobby) what to do when lots of other people are doing what your Thing is (and doing it better!) Thats seriously just the tip of the iceberg. If you cant see or play the video, click here to go directly to YouTube.  Prefer an MP3 to listen to instead? You can find one  here.
