Katy is had a bad bout with COVID-19, and when she got better, she woke up to a brand new world. Gone is the world of dance classes and live performance. Now what?
Today Katy and I talk about where we hope things go from here and how to prepare for the worst. We talk about probable scenarios and what you can do going forward if the entertainment industry is where you want to be.
