Happy Friday Stage 32 Tribe!

As you may know, the third weekend of every month we host "Introduce Yourself Weekend" in the Introduce Yourself Lounge. Every month, thousands of members join our online networking extravaganza, meeting and connecting with creatives and professionals from all over the world.

This month, we have an exciting spin on our regular Introduce Yourself Weekend with our first ever Introduce Your FAIL Weekend. No matter what hat(s) you wear in the entertainment industry, you have more than likely encountered your fair share of rejection. It is an inevitable side effect of pursuing a career in entertainment.

Naturally, these low points on the career roller coaster can be tough to bounce back from - especially when your social media scrolling flaunts a constant stream of carefully curated high points in peoples lives and careers.

Here at Stage 32, we pride ourselves on providing a safe and nurturing online space to share the more raw, vulnerable, and honest truths about your journey. There is truly no such thing as an overnight success, and each bump in the road along the way plays an invaluable role in achieving success.

So this Introduce Yourself Weekend, we invite you to Introduce Your FAILS in the Introduce Yourself Lounge - what has been your biggest rejection? How did you deal with it? What are your biggest fears in the industry?

Comment on other members fails, send network requests to folks you relate to, support one other and lift each other up. We are all on this journey together - celebrating highs and lows along the way.

To get the ball rolling, our Community Manager Kay Ross and I shared some of our fails in the video below. We look forward to hearing your stories and supporting you on your entertainment adventures.
