Many people have at one time or another dreamed of a being in show business.
From red carpets to a jet setting celebrity lifestyle - a career on camera has been seen as the road to fame and fortune.
But is it really as glamour as it seems? And what does it take to not only break into the entertainment business - but to survive in an industry that offers no job security whatsoever.
This episode is part of our 'Launch to Legendary' series where we get to hear from entrepreneurs and innovators who have taken the ordinary and turned it into the extraordinary. People who have built their careers by seeing opportunities in inopportune circumstances. Who’ve defined success in their own terms. Together we’ll be able to learn from their experiences and be inspired by what they’ve achieved.
Today I’ll be talking with Michael Chua, who after a successful 20 year career as a cyber security management consultant working for banks, governments and technology firms in 19 countries, pivoted and became an award winning actor, film director, producer and author.
Michael is truly legendary having performed in over 400 productions as well as writing and producing his own films.
In this episode of A Seat at The Table, Michael takes us behind the scenes where he’ll talk about:
- The difference between working in front of and behind the camera.
- The dark side of working as an actor (even if you're a very popular one).
- What you need to think about before you change careers or jobs.
