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.

Be clear about what you want to do, be clear about how you can achieve that and stick to that. Don't change it depending on who you talk to. Like know where you're going, be very focused

on where you're going, and don't think about the politics as much as thinking about what is my goal

and what is unique about me to get me there. Hey everybody welcome back to another episode of industry standard with me Barry Katz. I hope you're well. For those of you coming for the first time

welcome thanks for subscribing. It means a lot and I hope you enjoy this as much as I do and the guests and the audience that has been so supportive.

You know who you are.
