Meet Hope... she's been in the game since she was thirteen and is looking at 2020 to be her year for all the hard work and dedication to come together and hit. In our conversation we cover the importance of knowing yourself and what you want to say to your audience and then making sure that you do so in your own voice. Producers, promoters, industry people and even fans will try to pull you one way or the other but if you don't have a clear vision, strong guidance and a solid team you can depend on, you're just going to find yourself cast adrift. Hope shares these and other insights for young and aspiring artists who can maybe avoid some of the troubles she's encountered and be inspired by the idea that a young woman can build a career while maintaining her values, following her own style and preserving her dignity. There's also a few words about fashion, dogs, and the value of acting lessons for developing your stagecraft. And Alex gets in a few words about treating your life like a video game and realizing that even the smallest side quest can play a vital role in developing your character for the main quest.
