Today’s show is about the intersection of circus and social media, and my guest is the world famous, Brandon Scott, Acrobat!
Brandon has the traditional resume of a young professional aerialist- trained high level gymnastics at a young age, discovered aerial arts in college, and then moved to Las Vegas to pursue making a full-time career as a circus artist. What makes Brandon different, is that during his journey, he has built up a following of 60 thousand at the release of this episode.
In this interview, I talk to Brandon about how he got started, his views on the world of social media, and what tips he has for the rest of us about growing our accounts.

This podcast is dedicated to CIRCUS. Aerialist, Shannon McKenna interviews guests from acrobats in Cirque du Soleil to circus therapists and everyone in between. Learn the backstage lives of those who flip, twist, sparkle, and shine under the big top.
Shannon McKenna is an internationally recognized circus
performer and coach. For the past decade, she has been a freelance
artist: giving workshops and classes across 7 countries and worked
on both traditional and contemporary circus shows in the US,
Portugal, Germany, and Australia including the Shrine Circus and
SOAP. She holds a BFA from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts with a
concentration on post-modern physical theater (how's that for a
mouthful?). She founded The Artist Athlete in 2018 as a means to
produce educational materials about circus arts including a line of
e-books to help aerial artists train safely and a podcast in which
she interviews experts in the industry about their careers. If
you're reading this, you're probably listening to it. Thank
you!
She currently lives in whichever circus community is the
warmest.
