After a decade of grinding . . .

I finally booked a union gig through my agent last month and got paid today! Radio ad in NY for a major retailer, so it's not huge money but it feels real good. Validating. I wanted to share it because there were so many times over the years when I thought about quitting. This wasn't quick or easy. But it is possible. Here's to the grind!

Edit: Thank you so much for the support and kind words! I really appreciate it. Will share the finished audio once my agent sends it. Cheers!

Congrats! Not sure I’ll ever get a big gig but it would be nice if someone thought that highly of me. Keep on pushing.
