Are you a working professional in the entertainment industry with a story to share? We’d love to hear from you.
Breaking the Biz is the podcast extension of the Yes I Can (YIC) Unity program, which helps young adults with disabilities turn their passions into paychecks by exploring in-demand careers in entertainment. Our students are aspiring creatives pursuing fields like TV/film production, animation, music, sound design, post-production, voiceover, screenwriting, visual effects, digital media, video game design, prop and craft services, and more.
As part of their training, students attend weekly virtual guest speaker sessions where they connect directly with industry pros. These hour-long conversations (Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5–6 PM PT via Zoom) give students a chance to learn about real career paths, hear personal insights, and ask questions during a brief Q&A.
Breaking the Biz brings these conversations to a broader audience through our podcast—amplifying the voices of professionals who are not only building great careers, but also helping to redefine what's possible for the next generation.
