Hi everyone. Anna Marie Cox here. You might have already heard a little sneak peek with Adam Conover,

but I wanted to let you know officially that Mike and I are cooking up something new.

That's right. It's called Pass Do, a show where we dig into the real messy and often ridiculous side of making a living as a creative today.

Talking about the hustle, side hustle, breakdowns, and yes, the breakthroughs. It's about figuring out how to survive financially, creatively, and sometimes just emotionally,

in an economy that doesn't want you to.

And we're not doing it alone. We're bringing on some incredible guests who really

know the hustle people like Adam Conover and now Paul Lep Tompkins. We just recorded an amazing

conversation with Paul where we got into what keeps him going when the industry feels like it's

falling apart and why he refuses to let anyone take away from him the one thing he loves the most.

Performing.

Plus, things veered off into some current political thoughts.

We're saving some of the nitty-gritty for our Patreon subscribers.

So if you want to hear Paul's unfiltered take on keeping your creative soul alive when the world feels stacked against

you, head to patreon.com slash Anna Marie Cox.

More news about the show coming soon, but in the meantime, if you're a Patreon subscriber,

here's a little taste from our conversation with Paul, where he gets into what really keeps him

from burning out no matter what's going on around.
