250 - How well do you fail? Bethrah Szumski on mental health, economics, and career goals

Piercing Wizard Podcast

How well do you fail? Bethrah Szumski, former APP president, former APP secretary, studio owner, and all around boss comes back to the show. I wanted to make episode 250 (thank you, by the way) special, and that meant having a guest with something to say. Admittedly we didn't have much of a plan going in to this one. Bethrah was kind in offering to record a conversation shortly after she arrived to Las Vegas for the 2024 APP conference. Bethrah has always been someone who will just tell it like it is. Content warning, we will talk about mental health and therapy, we'll talk about the current economy and how it is strangling many shops, and we'll talk about a few other things that loosely fit into the "career goals" column.

I have other various stuff to promote, but just go to www.ryanpba.com for that. New videos, new merch, new class announcements, yadda yadda.
