So, Susan blogs. But what does she do for a living?

Hi.  My name is Susan Scot Fry and I’m figuring it all out.

What do I do?

I have been employed full time since I was 18 years old. In 2009, I started asking “What’s Next?” How many years do I really have left? What do I want to do with them? The answer: Something Great. So, I left my career as an Entertainment, PR and Marketing Director with Renaissance Entertainment Corporation. Gratifyingly, they tried very hard to talk me out of leaving, but I did.

Over the next several years, I freaked out. I also created a living. I…

• Gathered a team and turned our non-profit theatre company into Shakespeare in the Park.
• Turned my childhood love of ghost stories into Caper Company tours. We do the Port Washington Ghost Walk and created a bunch of self-guided audio tours to places that are supposed to be haunted.
• Did lots of projects with a tv commercial and short film producer. Having run PR and Marketing for a big, big event meant learning a whole lot about creating commercials and related whatnot.
• Started an AirBnB and became super successful at it.
• In a flashback to a much earlier career, I took on a 4 year contract to obtain and maintain state permits for a company who repaired x-ray machines. COVID-19 Pandemic 2020 ended that, but hoot-all it helped pay some bills.
• And, a bunch of other little things that came and went and all put together made a living.

I also started this blog.
