 This week we chat with Agent Assistant, Claire! She walks us through her days of interning in general management and casting offices, as well as her crazy days of stage managing for Sleep No More. Claire now assists at an NYC Talent Agency that represents actors in theater, film, and television. She chats about how being a perfectionist didn't suit her in the acting world, but how it's perfect for her current line of work. We also laugh about Millionaire Matchmaker and other ways to relieve stress if you work in the entertainment biz.
 Matt works in music licensing for NBC Sports. For starters, he tells us what the hell that is. Matt comes from a business background with a passion for music, and his internship turned into a long career. This could be a route for those with a mind for law who want to work in music and television.
