Ryan Farnsworth is an actor and musical theatre performer based in New York City, currently starring in *Drunk Shakespeare* Off-Broadway. With around 15 years of experience in the industry, he has built his career through cruise ships, national tours, theatre productions and even jobs outside the performing arts. In this episode, Ryan shares what it's really like to build a career as an artist in New York. We talk about the differences between the American and German theatre industries, the financial challenges performers face, and finding a balance between following your artistic ambitions and building a stable life. Ryan also shares some valuable advice on trusting your instincts, focusing on what you're naturally good at, and finding your own way in an industry where there is no one-size-fits-all path to success. Because the journey isn't always easy or straightforward, but it can teach you a lot about yourself, your emotions, and the person you want to become.
