   From Self- Tape to Commercial: Thinking Outside of the Box w/Skipper Mari Pt 1

   This week, we get to know Skipper Mari through her very first podcast interview. Having been in the business since her child and teen years, Skipper is a booked-and-busy commercial actor who has boldly taken her career into her own hands. With experience both in front of and behind the camera, she’s developed a sharp business mindset that keeps her thriving — not just auditioning, but consistently working. Her career has taken her around the globe, from national commercial spots and major campaigns like Bank of America, to working alongside icons like John Cena, to a wide range of unforgettable sets (yes, even the coffee commercials!). Through it all, she’s learned the power of curiosity, ambition, and granting herself permission to show up authentically in every room. In this episode, Skipper shares candidly about forging your own path, infusing personality into every booking, and building a sustainable career — one where both artistry and humanity shine. Tune in — her story just might be the spark you need to elevate your own. 🎙️✨ 🌐Skipper Mari: https://www.instagram.com/skipperfilm/?hl=en 🎓 About Business Literacy for the Artist:Business Literacy for the Artist helps performers bridge the gap between artistry and industry — giving you the tools to own your art, run your business, and build a lasting, fulfilling creative career. 📲 Stay Connected✨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bizlitforartist/✨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bizlitforartist✨ Website: https://businessliteracyfortheartist.com/👍🏻 Like, Subscribe, and ShareIf this episode helped you get clearer about your money and career, hit LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and share it with an artist who needs it.
