Is Your Agent Playing Both Sides? Here's What You Need to Know

Knowing how to spot this tactic early can save you money and stress - and help you find reps who truly have your back.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• How to tell if your agent might be loyal to the studio instead of you
• What to look for in your contract before signing anything
• The one simple question that reveals how your agent really gets paid

Play this episode now to learn how to protect yourself and keep your career in trustworthy hands.
