Skye P. Marshall is an Air Force veteran, Hollywood actress, caregiver, and relentless dreamer. With no agent, no connections, and no backup plan, Skye left the military and a corporate cubicle behind to pursue acting + built a thriving career from scratch. This episode is about the radical belief that you don't need permission to begin– just vision, discipline, and the courage to build it brick by brick. Skye shares:


Why fear is a biological superpower + how to channel it


How the Air Force trained her for acting more than any drama school


What she learned doing 7 years of background work


How she booked Matlock with no agent


The reason she refuses to set a timeline for success


The "red towel red carpets" that sparked her childhood dreams


How she bought her mom a house while caregiving through dementia


Why imagination is the key to reinvention


The mindset shift that changed everything: from "acting" to being


Why every job—even catering—can be a strategic career move


And the mantra that carries her through it all: "Survive until you thrive."
