Today with Florencia Iriondo: You Have to Take a Leap of Faith

Do It Today

Hi friends! This conversation inspired me so much. I have a feeling Florencia's journey and persistence will inspire you, too...

Kara Cutruzzula talks to Florencia Iriondo, a writer, performer, and showrunner, about her new one-woman musical South. Big moments include leaving the corporate world to pursue theater full-time, putting up the show, and lessons learned along the way. She shares how her ingenious "alarm strategy" — and watching Tick Tick Boom! — help organize her day. They also dive into the importance of deadlines, and Florencia's big goal of making a living from producing her own work.
