Be True to Yourself with Jenna Ushkowitz - a podcast by Mike Robbins
from 2017-11-07T08:00
This week I talk to the multi-talented and inspiring Jenna Ushkowitz. You may know Jenna from her work on Broadway, as Tina on the hit TV show Glee, or from one of her podcasts. Last year, I had the pleasure of being on an episode of her Infinite Positivities podcast. Her new podcast, Epic Fail, asks actors to share what they believe to be their biggest failure and what they learned from that experience.
During today’s show, Jenna talks about being committed to the career in show business she started at age three, what it felt like to be involved in a project (Glee) that changed her life and the lives of others, the importance of embracing vulnerability in her work and life, and her new film Hello Again.
