by Brian Patacca
On the Brian Breaks Character podcast, Brian slays the suffering artist myth so you can attract the right attention, get out of your own way and become so aligned with your spiritual purpose that abundance finds you. If you're an actor, creator, butcher, baker or candlestick maker and you believe that creatives can save the world, then you're in the right place. Each episode, Brian goes behind the scenes with people who proudly walk the path LEAST taken. He talks to inspiring activists, creative folks, working actors and showbiz gamechangers. They've got down and dirty advice to help you make dollars and sense (pun intended) of your creative life. If you're done suffering for your art and second guessing every step of your yellow brick road, Brian Breaks Character is your new pair of ruby slippers.
