It’s National Pride Month where all of us, every single one of us, can celebrate the impact that LGBTQ+ people have made and continue to make in this world. I encourage you to take time to educate yourself and others about the seemingly eternal struggles that our community has endured to get here –– and there’s so much more work to be done.

But I could never begin to tell that story. This is, after all, a business/lifestyle podcast all about creatives, marketing, branding etcetera. So let’s talk about the business of drag.

And yes, it’s booming.

Drag culture is dominating TV ratings, topping music charts, selling out shows and bringing together a wider community more than ever before.

In this just-for-fun, 18-minute episode, my co-pilot, Chianne and I chat about how drag culture is transcending beyond our community and even moving past mainstream to drive a growing industry on its own. How does an artist get their start when the increasing competition can be, well –– fierce?
