Is chasing your dream job worth it when it barely pays the bills?
In this episode, Hollywood screenwriter Nick Geisler pulls back the curtain on what it really looks like to “make it” in the TV industry; and why that version of success can feel anything but stable.
With accolades ranging from Disney Channel’s BUNK’D to viral WikiHow articles, Nick opens up about writing entire movies for free, making $150K one year and $70K the next. He shares the gritty truth behind residuals, the writers’ strike and the enormous gap between public perception and financial reality.
This episode is for anyone in a creative field - or anyone who’s ever wondered what success costs behind the scenes.
