We all know the phrase "show business," but we often forget the "business" part of the phrase and all that makes up the entertainment industry.
Pietie Beyers is an up-and-coming South African actor, filmmaker, and podcast host, and in this episode of The Alchemy of Business Show, he and Steve get into the business side of show business and what Beyers has learned about making a living by merging artistry with the world of business.
Pietie is also open about his struggles with depression and OCD, a personal battle that he has bravely channeled into the movie Skemerson (Sun Cry Moon) which can be watched on Netflix.
