Welcome to the very first episode of Brian Breaks Character! To start this show off with a bang, I’ve invited the curiously honest and benevolent Sam Valentine on the show for a *completely confidential* coaching call. So naturally, I want all of my listeners to tune in for some key takeaways from our raw and open conversation about creative impact and making a buck while you do it!   To set the stage, Sam is an LA-based actress, and host of the One Broke Actress podcast, a show that shares insightful tips that can only come from actors and actresses in the thick of their careers.

 

In today’s episode, I coach Sam on her current career roadblocks, including where she needs to concentrate her energy as we move out of the pandemic and back into a healthy hustle. She also shares tips on how she stays grateful as she navigates her goals with her acting career and podcast business.

 

During our coaching session, I asked her to expand on how she uses her podcast platform to honor where her audience is in their acting journey. Sam also shares how she realized that her podcast, One Broke Actress, gives her inherent value as a resource for others to learn the truth behind the life of a working actor (and actress) by asking questions and getting answers on the detailed corners of the world of film. 

 

As a previously broke actress herself, Sam shines a spotlight on the fatigue that comes from multitasking and ways you can take control over the goals you set for yourself! We also chat about the resistance that comes up around pricing our work, the intricacies of creating multiple streams of income to support herself, and how she will best serve her audience.
