That's absolutely true. But then it wasn't so much the small stuff, but that was really about attitude. It was about humility. It was about knowing my worth at that point in time. And there's a huge difference between personal worth, which we are all born with, and professional worth, which you have to earn.

It was my first job, all the other production assistants, which in the media world is the lowest job you could possibly have. It's an entry level. It's even lower than the lowest of assistants. And everybody else had a kid. It was a television children's show about math because I was the newest and the youngest. I got the dog.

Now, mind you, we were a union house, so none of the stagehands were going to follow around a dog and pick up its poop. I had to do it. But I did it with a smile because I realized that it's all about attitude. If I had a good attitude, if people wanted me around, if people knew I would deal with stuff that wasn't exactly pretty or pleasant, they would be there to help me grow and they were.

What do you think about the advice of follow your dreams? That's another cliche we've all been brought up with. And it's interesting because when you think about where we got those dreams and when we got those dreams, we were kids. It was either our parents whispering them in our ear or a teacher or a kid's book that we read when we were young.

But they weren't things we actually got exposed to and learned by example. In my mind, you can't be what you can't see. You can't dream what you don't know. It's not that I think people should throw away passions or dreams that they think they may want, but people have to concentrate on opportunities. My line to myself and to others, you don't have to throw your passion away.

It just doesn't have to be your boss in life. If you follow your dreams, in my mind, you're going to sleepwalk through life. If you follow opportunities, it can get you to very, very interesting places. But those dreams can always stay in the background and you can play with them as a sideline.

First of all, I think all of us at some point in life have felt like an impostor. I think it's just a given in terms of who we are, what we get exposed to, especially when we start navigating the corporate world.

But I'm a big believer that the minute you fake it and the minute you get caught in a lie, it's kind of over because it's impossible to build back that trust from people once they've lost it in you. It's really about being open and honest and letting people know what you know and what you don't.

And when you ask for help in a corporate world or in life in general, you're empowering other people to help you. So then they want to take you under their wing and help you grow. The minute you lie about something and you get caught in it, they're not going to want to give you the opportunity anymore. So take advantage of the people around you. Be honest about what you know, what you don't know.

You're going to learn a lot more. You're going to gain a lot more friends and mentors, if you will, because you can admit what you know. So they're going to trust you the next time you say you do know something because they already knew that you were honest when you didn't.
