Hey, I'm Aaron Marcus, and I decided to make a big change in my career, and I wanted to share it with you. And one, I think you're gonna find it interesting, and I'm also hoping it's gonna be really helpful to you. So something that I've been noticing for the past couple of years is that the bigger the jobs that I've had, like my recurring role on House of Cards, Gotham, Mr. Robot, Halt and Catch Fire, Rectify, the feature film Fishbowl, All of those bookings I had with grayer and longer hair. And I just decided I'm going to let it stay that way. And I'm really curious to see if by keeping my hair with that more of a natural color and also keeping it longer, whether that's going to help with bookings. So I wanted to share that with you because, well, I think it's really important for you as well to think about your career. You know, what things are working What things aren't working? And sometimes, you know, you want to make changes, even if it's just to experiment. Maybe it's not even a physical change. Maybe you're finding that you're not as clued in with your auditions, and maybe it's time to, to take private sessions. And, and just a little bit of a side note, that is something that I do, and I do set aside 5 days each month, and I work with people privately online. And you can just go to howtoactandmodel.com/ And you can read all about my mentoring program. I mean, I've helped hundreds of people have success. But maybe it's finding a new agent. Maybe it's marketing yourself in a different way. Maybe it's trying to get out-of-town work because you feel like you've done everything you can locally. But whatever it is, really think about your career and think about what works, what doesn't work, and be open. to make changes. So anyhow, I just wanted to share that with you. Please let me know if there have been changes that you've made. Uh, share them with others so we can all learn from you as well. I'm Aaron Marcus, and I can't wait to talk with you again soon. See ya.
