In the final stretch of our chat with Jason Ammons, hosts Maranda DeBusk and Josafath Reynoso talk about the long game in theatre design—why saying “yes” can be both a blessing and a trap, how to find mentors who lift you up, and the importance of defining success for yourself.

It’s an honest, encouraging close to a conversation that’s all about surviving and thriving in the creative world without losing your joy.
