Giving yourself a shot
Whatever you're considering doing, this short story this week is about encouraging you to embrace your value (and your imperfections) and put yourself out there. Take the risk you are thinking about, give yourself the compliment you need - be the hand you need to help yourself out of a bad place.
How I learned to give myself a shot...
When I was working in Hollywood - trying to become a screenwriter - I spent years worrying that I was on the right path. I didn't know what the right path was and felt stuck, embarrassed and lost.

And I'm so excited to share that story this week on an episode of The Business of Story Podcast hosted by Park Howell! Check it out and discover what I've failed at, how I almost got fired, and what surprising thing people did when I told them I was quitting my dream job at Disney...
