13276: If I Ever Catch You Saying This, We Will Have Words

Hey there, hero!

I was at a party a couple of years ago, and someone in our group was asked, “What do you do?”

In Los Angeles, it’s rare that the answer to that question isn’t “I’m an actor.”

In this case, the woman answered with a bit of a twist:

“I'm a bit of an actor."

Please don’t let me catch you saying this. That would be an issue.

And I’ve heard versions of that: "I dabble in audiobooks." "Occasionally, I write some stuff."

In this episode, I want to impress upon you that words do matter. You have every right to be proud. Try not to minimize yourself - be clear and precise. And own your life’s work and career choice.

How do you describe what you do? Do you find yourself less-than-ing yourself? Let me know in the comments below.
