Today we have a very special guest who has become wildly popular in the acting community. 

Sam Valentine is the host of the One Broke Actress podcast: An honest account of actor life, plus a few lessons she's learned in the process. 

In this episode, you'll hear...

  • The story of her former (shitty) agent that led her to start One Broke Actress
  • Why some of the best things come from moments of desperation
  • How she nearly quit the business just a couple of years ago
  • How her acting career has improved since starting side businesses
  • What she’s learned about being vulnerable in an online space (that she wasn’t expecting…)
  • What she currently is doing for her mental health 
  • The important thing to remember during slow seasons

 

From Sam...

I am Sam Valentine, a 12 year veteran of the Actor-Life in LA (with credits from Amazon's Bosch: Legacy to some pilots you never saw). I moved to LA with a Theatre degree and more conviction than I had dollars and proceeded to spend the better part of a decade trying to be literally anything a breakdown wanted me to be.

I created One Broke Actress because I saw a need for stories and advice of real working actors. Am I the all-knowing being in Hollywood who has booked a billion jobs and made big bucks with acting so therefore I know how to advise people and lead like the Gandhi of Southern California? Negative. But I feel there is a lack of honest sharing from actors who are in the thick of it. This career path is crazy AF but that doesn't mean you have to be. So let's get real and maybe learn a life lesson or two in the process.

 

Follow Sam and her work!
