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

Over the years, many of you have 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 berrycats.com. Together, we'll take your career where you want

it to go. But in general, whatever it is, I just make sure I have a system set up to accommodate,

spontaneity, flexibility, and just a lot of improv. In general, I write the scripts really tight,

and in the session, we kind of just go nuts. But in my head, I'm directing while I'm acting in it,

and I know what I really need. I know what bits we have to get. So, since it seems more chaotic

and more improv than it really is, because it goes off the rails there, then in the edit, I pull it

right back to the script, except along the way, we picked up some good unexpected jokes, and just a

general sense of spontaneity.

Hey, everybody. Welcome back to another episode of Industry Standard with me,

Berrycats. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving break with your family and friends and loved ones.
