This week I’m joined by Deborah Puette, a longtime working actor in Los Angeles who has recently added writer and director to her already stacked resume.

We talk about the hunger that keeps artists evolving, the difference between rejection as an actor and as a writer, and what it really means to collaborate when the work is personal. Deborah shares how writing her first short film, Cash for Gold, opened a new creative path and why she’s now focused on directing. Her latest short, Such a Pretty Girl, is currently making the festival rounds.

This is a wide-ranging and honest conversation about staying creatively alive while juggling ambition, discipline, and a mind full of ideas.

🎧 Highlights include:

Going from stage to screen to behind the camera
Why she finally stopped “playing small”
The difference between theater in LA vs. Chicago
Directing your own story and letting others bring it to life
Using body-doubling and discipline to get writing done
Living a creative life like a lottery ticket — not a sure thing

It’s a good one. Let’s go.
