This week I sat down with Mia who has been living in Berlin for the past 8 years and has went from booking Slovenia punk bands in the land of Turbo Folk to production manager at Comedy Central.
We talk about the talent management industry, career progression, managing culture shock and in Germany and producing different series with a global team at Viacom.
In this episode I also found that Warsaw shore is a thing.
