I actually really believe in the kindness of strangers and I have actually been on the receiving end of a lot of kindness. The most recent one I can think of is a silly little thing, but it really touched me. I was at a salon getting my hair done. It's something that happens very frequently because I have purple hair for those of you who can't see me.

So I was at the salon, my phone was dead and I had to take a very important call. So I I, of course, didn't have my charger and I'm just looking around like a headless chicken trying to find my charger and there's nothing there. It wasn't there. So this other client at the same place lent me his power bank and he was basically done. And I said, oh, I had put it in and it wasn't charging.

So he said, I'm just going to go for a coffee. You can keep this power bank and I'm going to come back in a little bit and then I can take it back from you. And he had no reason to do that. He didn't know me. But just that little act of kindness, someone willing to give me something of theirs and go out of their way to help a stranger was very touching. I didn't know what to say.

I just kept saying thank you over and he saved my day.

Always. I was always the person who looked at... things as experiments. I've always been an experimenter all my life. So I always would ask myself, how deep does this rabbit hole go? So that's why you see all these different trajectories. And I think of it as meandering. I wandered around a lot. I explored a lot before I

I sat down when I was approaching my 40s and asked myself, well, what is it that you really want to do? And believe it or not, I actually went through an Ikigai exercise at the time because I was very lost. I was 38 and had a career pivot already, and still didn't feel like that was my calling in life.

And that's when I decided to combine all these various experiences that I'd had from the improv world, from the film world, but also from the public speaking world, because I had been speaking on stages and on camera for 15 years for fun, not really as a source of living. So

I combined all of those things and then realized that public speaking was the one thing that was tying all these diverse experiences together.
