Today's guest is Anna DeGuzman, who is truly one of a kind. She's a magician who's performed on America's Got Talent recently, in front of celebrity judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, and Sofia Vergara, but also in front of millions of people watching around the world. Even though she's an accomplished magician at such a young age, she's genuinely a warm person and I loved learning about how she's built a non traditional career on her own terms and how she manages to perform in front of such a large audience. If you're a performer of any kind, or aspiring to be, you're going to love this episode.

Episode Highlights:

How Anna became a magician
Being a public person
Handling online criticism
Pursuing the non-traditional route
Dealing with career uncertainty and inconsistent traction
Mindset when performing for celebrities & on big stages
