Maybe you're sick of working your 9-5. Maybe you have a brilliant business idea that you're dabbling in on the side that could make you the next Elon Musk. Maybe you're dying to jump ship from corporate life & become a performance artist. You could make films (or a podcast!), start a YouTube channel, or manufacture adorable plushies from your apartment to sell on Etsy after your regular work hours. Perhaps you could become a highly paid consultant who works & also writes the next great American novel from a laptop in Rome. The world of side hustle & freelancing is vast & it has reached a new level of possibility & desirability. But what is it really like & what kinds of challenges does this lifestyle entail? In this introductory episode, Minji shares her journey of pursuing a medical career to working a corporate job while chasing her dreams of working in entertainment on the side & eventually full time. She shares the harsh realities & lessons learned, from surviving the financial instability & scarcity of time to managing relationships & crucial administrative logistics. If you've got stars in your eyes, we're here to help them shine even brighter while also keeping your feet on the ground.

Don't miss an all AAPI production of HENRY VI: A Trilogy in Two Parts at The Public in NYC
The National Asian American Theatre Company’s acclaimed production of HENRY VI: A TRILOGY IN TWO PARTS brings an all-AANHPI cast to The Public Theater for a decades-spanning saga of Joan of Arc, warring dukes, and the bloody birth of the War of the Roses. Adapted by Stephen Brown-Fried, this is Shakespeare like you've never experienced it.
Part 1: Foreign Wars opens with a king dead, an infant on the throne, and a country already coming apart at the seams. Part 2: Civil Strife picks up nearly 30 years later...and the bloodbath is yet to come. Simmering feuds explode into the War of the Roses, and nothing will ever be the same. Performances from June 9 through July 19!
