We talk to the fantastic Lisa Morales. She tells us about crashing James Cameron's Hummer, her role as an executive and then giving that up to become a writer.
She walks us through being fired for not being confident enough, imposter syndrome and rebuilding her confidence and her career.
What she learned on her journey to being a showrunner, what she did when she got there and what her advice is to others on the way up are also all covered.
We talk through the concept of 'caring but not giving a sh*t', how it helped her and why she tells everyone else about it.
A candid epsiode, recorded before the strike, about the highs and lows of live in Hollywood.
