CRAFTCAST the Podcast #203

This episode’s a little different—because it’s personal! Patrik and I chat with my son, actor Erich Bergen (you’ve seen him on TV in Madam Secretary or on stage in Jersey Boys, Waitress, or Boop on Broadway) as he shares the hilarious and heartfelt journey of transitioning from actor to producer. It’s a funny, inspiring conversation about taking big creative leaps, embracing change, and exploring new passions. Come for the behind-the-scenes stories, stay for the mom-son banter. #Podcast #CreativeLife #RejectionIsRedirection #ErichBergen #ArtistsLife #Craftcast
