Hey everybody I just want to take a moment to talk about a new thing I'm doing.

Over the years many of you reached out to me telling me how much you love the podcast,

but also wish there were more personalized takeaways and more in-depth interactions with our guests

to hear what they think about comedy.

This is why I'm now launching my new digital academy, Blueprint for Success.

With exclusive interviews and comedy philosophies of stars and industry veterans, personalized

versions of the Industry Standard Podcast, commercial-free, and one-on-one coaching time with me.

Blueprint for Success will give you the powerful tools that will take you up the elevator

beyond the competition and reach the highest possible levels to achieve your dreams.

Whether it be stand-up sketch, improv, acting, writing, producing, directing, hosting, radio podcasting, social media influencing, or even if you want a career

behind the scenes as a manager or an agent.

Now I'm here to help, personally.

We'll go on an express train of comedy

and entertainment like nobody else has before.

You can find out more about Blueprint for Success

and the comedy business on my website at Barrycats.com.

Together will take your career where you want it to go.

At the end of the day I'm still an audience member when I see everyone else

so when I see someone else perform they always just seem to have it so together you know there's people I look at where they oh my god they have it so together, you know, there's people I look at where, oh my God, they have it so together

and they're just so on top of it, they're so brilliant and they just have all the answers.

And I look at it from that, you know, I look at it from an eyes perspective and I know that myself, you know, even if people look at that the same way, like, wow, he's got all the answers to this thing, like, deep down I know that like, I am just like, oh boy, like I just hope I'm hoping to make it through each show

Even though my most prepared shows I'm like there's a lot of stuff that can go off the rails here. Hey everybody welcome back to another episode of Industry Standard with me
