Is quitting your job to follow your dream a bold step toward your purpose… or a dangerous leap into uncertainty?

In this episode of How to Become a Professional Actor, actor and mentor Jade Hassouné opens up about one of the biggest questions artists wrestle with: Do I have to go all in to succeed?

Through personal stories of risk, sacrifice, and breakthrough, Jade reveals the truth behind pursuing acting full-time—and why it doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing decision.

Instead of glorifying the “quit your job” narrative, Jade breaks down what it actually takes to build a creative career: financial planning, emotional resilience, identity work, and the courage to take aligned steps even when you’re scared.

You’ll learn why the transition into acting is rarely linear, how to build momentum before going full-time, and how to make empowered decisions instead of reactive ones.

If you’re standing at a crossroads, feeling the pull toward your dream but terrified of the unknown… this episode will give you clarity, grounded truth, and a path that honors both your passion and your stability.
