How To Make It

Tired of the social media and award show ‘highlight reels’ of success in entertainment, How To Make It hosts and perpetually exhausted yet bright-eyed industry veterans Emily and Haley were determined to bring a new point-of-view to the table. Aided each episode by a different celebrity guest who the ladies consider to have ‘made it,’ we delve into all the WTF moments it takes to become a success in entertainment, and what ‘making it’ even means. How To Make It aims to encourage and inspire struggling artists to continue in the pursuit of their creative dreams by not interviewing the celebrity, but the person underneath.
