Speaking of agents, make sure to brianpatacca.thrivecart.com/agentgoals-sam-valentine/62193bdb4bd5c/">RSVP to our Master Class with Brian Patacca right here!

Jaime Love's career started in 1999 in Toronto, Canada where she worked in print, fashion, and commercials. She could even be seen behind in the scenes on the production side of things with the Kardashians and Demi Lovato, before ultimately opening up her own talent agency. Today, she represents dozens of artists including...yours truly! Back in ep 7 of this season, I was able to sit down with Brittany, my theatrical agent. Now, in ep 11, I am super excited to be able to bring Jaime to you to talk all things commercial. From Jaime's personal journey to her day-to-day life in the pandemic, her process in submitting and meeting talent, her thoughts on self-tapes, and classes to take — we discuss it all. Bring out a pen and paper because there's a ton of info coming your way!
