07/29/2015: Turning a hobby and a passion into a business

Pam Bruno, Comedian
Unemployed but with a dream of becoming a famous comedian, Pam Bruno decided to launch her standup career at age 65. She turned to SCORE for help marketing herself to comedy club owners and to broaden her audience. Pam's on social media - Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. She's playing as many local clubs as possible. Pam talks about the challenges of launching her dream career late in life.
