Ep206: Career & Life Advice from The Office Director & Producer | with Jen Celotta

<p><a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0148180/" rel="nofollow"><strong>Jen Celotta</strong></a> is a writer, director, and producer for both television and most recently an animated feature. Her three most notable credits include <em>The Office</em>, <em>Cobra Kai</em>, and <em>Abbot Elementary</em>, but ask Jen and she will tell you the highlight of her career was when she got to fulfill her lifetime dream of playing a Schrute in <em>The Office</em>.</p><p>While Jen’s highly successful career is clearly impressive, what I find even more admirable is the fact that she has achieved it all while remaining kind, open-minded, team-oriented, and passionate. Being that both Jen and myself are creatives with ADD, it&#39;s fair to say this conversation will cover a massive range of topics including: following your passion (or not), how to fail forwards, why you should never “fake it til you make it”, and what specific quality will set you (and your career) up for success.</p><p>Jen is one of those people that has seemingly endless entertaining stories, and today you will hear several. But as a brilliant writer - and therefore storyteller - each story has a deeper lesson, meaning, and message that will add knowledge and inspiration to your life as you aspire to reach your own creative success. I absolutely loved the overall enthusiasm and inspiration of this interview, and know you will too.</p><h3>Want to Hear More Episodes Like This One?</h3><p><a href="https://optimizeyourself.me/subscribe/" rel="nofollow"><strong>» Click here to subscribe and never miss another episode</strong></a></p><p> </p><h3><strong>Here&#39;s What You&#39;ll Learn:</strong></h3><ul><li>Should you really follow your passion in life?
