Ep238: Setting Boundaries Between Work & Life (Even When You Work For Steven Spielberg) | with Sarah Broshar
optimizeyourself.me/setting-b...
Today's guest is award-winning film editor, Sarah Broshar who’s short list of credits includes The Fabelmans, West Side Story, Ready Player One, and The Post. All of which were projects that had her working with Hollywood legends Steven Spielberg and editor, Michael Kahn. Looking at her credits in her IMDb profile, you might think, "She must have gotten really lucky," but as Sarah shares in our conversation, her 'luck' mostly comes from consistently solving problems and providing value over and over.
As we go deeper into her story, Sarah shares that not only is she 'lucky' to be working with legends, she's also working with people who value family and boundaries which is not very common to high demand projects (or the industry, in general). Getting your foot in high-profile projects and working with people who will respect your boundaries is already challenging enough but as we find out in Sarah's story, she paved her own way to get to where she is now. Sarah's inspiring story reveals that creating your own 'luck' is the key to working with the best and setting boundaries is the key to having a life outside of work.
