So many of us artists feel out of depth when we jump from the structured environment of college into the real world. We go from having a rubric and guide to a blank slate. It's a rough transition for each and everyone of us.

This week on the podcast, Claire Malkie - comedian, writer, and actor - and I discuss the big leap and how we learned that...

• you are not defined by your work
• the best growth can often be found by moving away from your college friends
• the importance of creating your own work
• knowing when it's time to let one project go and move onto the next
