Getting a good agent isn't luck - it's strategy.

In this first half of our two-part deep dive, we're breaking down what it really takes to land a legit agent—and what you need to know before you even hit "send" on that email.

We’re covering:
• What agents can and can’t do for your career
• Patrick’s real-life stories from both Hollywood and New York
• The exact materials you’ll need to stand out: headshots, resumés, reels, and websites

Whether you're just starting out or need a serious materials refresh, this episode has you covered—with Benjamin and Patrick’s signature humor and honesty.

📌 Part 2 drops August 18th, where we’ll tackle the science of submissions: how to get your materials in front of the right people at the right time, build strong relationships with your rep, and know when it’s time to walk away.
