But look where you are now.

It all worked out.

So that's exactly... My strategy was get noticed the way any other comic gets noticed.

It's through word of mouth of someone you trust.

So all the comedy people at Netflix, they're so plugged into the scene.

They all go to shows.

They know comics at all levels.

So I'm like...

I don't want them to hear me cracking a joke in the cafeteria and be like, what was that?

Like, I want them to see me at a show or hear...

or hear about me through a trusted comedy person or something.

So in 2023, last year, I finally got a manager, management, and that was through just performing in LA.

Word of mouth, someone told my now manager, check her out, she's legit.

So then I got the manager,

And then my manager, and luckily before Netflix, I worked at talent agencies and talent management companies.

So I worked for the people that represent actors, writers, directors, comics.

So being on that side, I understood the purpose of a rep.

And what they're supposed to do.

And I'm like, I got to get one of those.

There is an ecosystem.
