Hi Amigos!

Welcome back! Today’s guest is someone I am very excited for you all to meet! Her name is Emree Franklin. She is a singer/songwriter, recording artist and actress from the San Juan Islands, currently living in Los Angeles! At just 26 years old by Sheryl Crow for the Women Who Rock series with Citi Bank and NBC, she is a brand spokesperson for the fashion line Thale Blanc, and her latest pursuit is playing Heather in Netflix's latest docuseries HEIST from the producers behind the academy award winning short film Two Distant Strangers. HEIST premiered on July 14 on Netflix, which  just so happens to have been yesterday!! So it is now live for you to watch!! You wont want to miss it!  In this episode we talk about a variety of things:

Who says we have to stick to one profession? Why can’t we be both an actress and a songwriter? Why is it one or the other? How does a 26 year old singer/songwriter go from singing with Sheryl Crow to booking a lead role in the new Netflix Documentary Series, HEIST? My friend Emree Franklin tells all in this episode!


TAKE AWAYS:

  1. Sometimes doing the thing you’re not supposed to do can liberate you

  2. Sometimes you need to pull back to be reeled back in

  3. Being flexible allows more things to come to you that you didn’t even know you wanted

  4. Having a smaller agent when you’re just starting out can be just what you need.

  5. Having a mentor by your side to watch out for you is invaluable

  6. Your story is just starting

  7. It’s never too late to do what you want to do

  8. You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. What is meant for you, will be yours

  9. Preparation meets opportunity
