Marc Ensign is a musician who played bass guitar for the hit Broadway musical, RENT. Marc is also a marketing specialist.

Those outside the world of theatre may not be able to grasp just how far one is willing to go to get the gig or job one really wants.

For Marc Ensign, it meant collecting Broadway Playbills and stealing a phone book from a Manhattan bus station to get leads, and, then disguising himself as a journalist so that he could interview other Broadway musicians in his field. Regardless of what it took for Marc, it worked in his favor for some serious returns. It's a fascinating, and often funny story.

Listen as Marc Smith interviews Marc Ensign: a bass player, an author, and an entrepreneur who went the extra mile just to prove to others and himself, that he can go after his dreams, determine his mission, and to connect the world with those who want to change it.
