How I Broke Into: Michael Prywes Interviews Artists and Entrepreneurs About Their Big Break

Every writer, actor, fine artist, filmmaker, musician, artisan food / liquor magnate, or mom & pop small business owner has a story of the "Big Break." New York startup attorney Michael Prywes interviews successful artists and entrepreneurs, and common themes become evident: there is no such thing as overnight success, learning continues for a lifetime, and relationships are everything. The guests--who all have succeeded where so many others have failed-- share actionable insights, retrospective advice, and instructive stories.
