“Glee” star Becca Tobin only dreamed of one career in her life, and that was Broadway.

“The first Broadway show I saw I was like, this is what they do every day, they go to the office and it's a theater and you get to sing and dance and I just knew that that's what I wanted,” she told Yahoo Finance recently during the Create & Cultivate conference in New York City.

Tobin reached her goal with a role in the Broadway show “Rock of Ages” in 2009, which lead to her role as Kitty Wilde on “Glee” for 3 seasons and her incredibly successful media brand, “LadyGang.”

She shared the lessons she learned on Broadway that carried over into her subsequent business endeavors.

Don’t spend it all in one place

Tobin remembers the feeling of spending your whole paycheck in one hit. “In my early 20s I was so bad with money. You know you'd be on the road and it felt like you're at summer camp and you would go to the bar and you'd spend $200, which doesn't feel great the next day. So I'm glad that I was really terrible with money and I've learned to be better,” she said.

Fall on your face… You’ll live

Broadway provided her with the perfect combination of acting and singing that being cast on a musical television show requires. When “Glee” came along, Tobin says it was like an extra special surprise, on top of her already-fulfilled lifelong goal of being on Broadway. She wasn’t afraid of messing up, because performing live had given her the opportunity to fail repeatedly.

“When you are doing show with a live audience every day, there's no going back and doing a second take. So I've messed up a ton I've fallen on my face a ton,” Tobin said. “I'd spent a lifetime of falling on my face…. we live through it!”

Perhaps the most organic, least pressured career experience for Tobin came in the form of her podcast LadyGang, co-hosted by Keltie Knight and Jac Vanek. The concept was born out of raw and honest conversations during Tobin and her girlfriends’ boozy brunches.

Tobin admits she had no idea what a podcast was when they first started, but felt it was effortless because there was no pressure to make it perfect. “There wasn’t a ton of female content on podcasts… so we were one of the first female-driven podcasts… and the president of PodcastOne one was like ‘sure we’ll put you in the studio and you'll talk for an hour and we'll see how it goes’ and we did that in our first episode and it kind of crushed it,” Tobin said. The LadyGang podcast boasts 55 million downloads and counting since it launched in 2015. Within a year after launching, E! Entertainment offered Tobin and her co-hosts a TV show. They’ve also started a national live tour called LadyHang.
