    Ep 10: Community Manager/Event Planner, Ann Holland - 12/27/20

    Community Manager and Event Planner, Ann Holland talks about pivoting careers, community building, struggling to build a career, defining success, and taking the leap to live in Los Angeles Some of my favorite quotes from her this episode:  "Community is creating a space where everybody feels like they have a stake in the environment and making it work for everybody. You have to actively participate for there to be community, and there has to be common ground...for me that's the baseline."   "[My mentor] taught me that it is OK to be your authentic self at a workspace and still be successful...that confidence in my unique perspective and my desire to make my mark on the cuture really comes from her and the time that we worked together [at Workbar]." This was one of my favorite interviews I've done so far, give it a listen and let me know what you think!

    Episode #9: On Predicting the Future & Staying Hopeful

    Almost a year to the day, I posted my last podcast which was about how we never know what the future holds, using the a story about Janelle Monet and a director of the TV show "This Is Us:" (You can listen to the episode here as well)...It turns out that a year ago, I posted a podcast that my current self needed to hear one year later. A couple excerpts from this podcast:  "Right now things aren’t how we want them to be, how we how we’d hope they’d be, however, we don’t know what the future holds, so we might as well believe it’s going to be amazing." "If I never direct or produce a studio level film or show, I’m not going to have regrets...I am going to have regrets if I don’t take my creative energy and turn it into something I enjoy and that I think have as a positive effect on people."
