SAG-AFTRA is composed of the industry’s most talented performers from across the nation and world. But as every performer learns, talent can only go so far. That’s why, in addition to honing your innate talent, making connections can lead to more exciting opportunities. 

This podcast episode revisits the April 19 SAG-AFTRA President’s Task Force on Education, Outreach & Engagement livestream Creating Success Beyond Your Talent. Revisit this interesting one-on-one conversation between SAG-AFTRA Executive Vice President Ben Whitehair and performer-producer Troy Pryor. Pryor, who is also the founder of arts organization Creative Cypher, discusses how working and building relationships within your art community – including networking and mentorship – can take your career, and those around you, to the next level.
