Behind every successful animation career is not just artistic talent, but a smart professional team helping navigate opportunities, contracts, and long-term growth. Talent manager Sam Goff joins her clients—Malia Jennings (Iyanu, Charlotte and Buckingham Park), Karen Drastal (Maxxie LaWow), Sam King (DuckTales, Overwatch), and John Rauschelbach (Outer Scouts)—to break down what agents, managers, and entertainment attorneys actually do, how they work together, and what that means for creators. Through real-world experiences, the panel demystifies representation and talks about when it makes sense to build a team and how to approach it strategically.
