In this episode actor and writer Jen Bartels and I discuss authenticity, tenacity, being your own "storefront," mental health, insulin, television shows getting canceled, defining "success," Louboutins, sports, and being kind to yourself. Jen and I went to high school together, and that (probably) had no (or very little) impact on her current success. (Check out her Geico commercial with Ratt here)

Jen trained with Upright Citizens Brigade in New York. She was on American Woman on Paramount with Alicia Silverstone and Mena Suvari, Friends of the People, Broken, amongst many other credits.

Thanks and enjoy!
