Episode 142: Catie Cuan

The Compass podcast documents the lives of artists navigating the waters between art and commerce.  What do they do when they feel themselves going to the dark side? How do they find balance when they are creating beautiful things, but not necessarily making their entire living from their art (acting, dance, etc). A space for those conversations with peers about living a creative life. Hosted by actress Leah Walsh.
