As kids, we sometimes grow up fantasizing about the many jobs we can have simultaneously. Somehow, we'll manage to be a fireman, a fashion designer, and a florist all at the same time. And while that example does a piss-poor job of conveying the realities of a multi-hyphenate professional with big dreams, it should land you somewhere in the ballpark of understanding what makes someone like Franchesca Ramsey so damn special. The balls stay afloat thanks to her commitment to know when to say "no".

In this conversation, Franchesca talks about The Artist's Way, about building a career across comedy, writing, acting, and advocacy without losing the thread, and about what it looks like to set goals you can control when the industry keeps moving the goalposts. It's the kind of conversation that makes you want to grab a good pen and paper and get to work.
