Music
From music, to comedy, to acting, David Banks has done it all! This was a particularly fun and interesting interview because David shared an honest look into what it's like to find a calling (music), then pivot to something new (acting), and find success in it. I love having guests from all sorts of different industries on the podcast because there are fundamental lessons that all feel the same as long as you're chasing a career doing something you love. David's story is exact proof of that. Enjoy!
