Skye P. Marshall is an Air Force veteran, Hollywood actress, caregiver, and relentless dreamer. With no agent, no connections, and no backup plan, Skye left the military and a corporate cubicle behind to pursue acting + built a thriving career from scratch. This episode is about the radical belief that you don't need permission to begin– just vision, discipline, and the courage to build it brick by brick. Skye shares:

• Why fear is a biological superpower + how to channel it

• How the Air Force trained her for acting more than any drama school

• What she learned doing 7 years of background work

• How she booked Matlock with no agent

• The reason she refuses to set a timeline for success

• The "red towel red carpets" that sparked her childhood dreams

• How she bought her mom a house while caregiving through dementia

• Why imagination is the key to reinvention

• The mindset shift that changed everything: from "acting" to being

• Why every job—even catering—can be a strategic career move

• And the mantra that carries her through it all: "Survive until you thrive."
