What’s This Episode About?

How do you grow past the regret of missed opportunities and instead, position yourself to seize every moment and take your place at the table? We’ve all had times we felt too new, too alone, or too different, to think that our voices and opinions mattered, and so instead of offering the solutions we knew we had, we allowed fears and insecurities to hold us back.

It’s time to make the mental shift that allows you to confidently step out, knowing you’ve earned the right to be in the room and contribute to the conversation, regardless of who is (or isn’t!) in the room.

Brittany Grooms, Director of Film Casting at Netflix, has devoted her career to making a positive impact to consumers, actors, and the entertainment industry. She has built a strong reputation for bringing a sense of authenticity to casting that has allowed audiences to see themselves reflected on a screen, form deeper connections with the actors and the movie, and influence their decisions in life that ultimately benefit the evolution and growth of the entertainment industry.

Brittany brings more than 9 years of achievement identifying and casting talent that correctly fit into the overall vision and tone of the story, mirror the world we live in, and bring to life what’s written on the page. Based on her success, she was named one of Variety Magazine’s New Leaders in Film in 2019.
