Description

A career in the arts can take many different paths, and how sometimes it’s the most unexpected events that lead you to where you were meant to be. In episode two of season five, we hear from a puppeteer who discovered the healing power of telling your own story, a producer who left New York City's arts world to follow their intuition into the unknown, a performer who learned to say yes to the room he was in, and an actor who found his truest creative voice only after his life was upended by loss.

Sheila Gaskins - "Strings Attached"

Yura Sapi - "Let It Rain"

Jason Fletcher Christian Laws - "Make The Most of It"

Leland Faulkner - "Walking Between Worlds"
