## Resource

Today, we are joined by the incredibly versatile Conor Leslie, an actress with two decades of experience who is pulling back the curtain on the high-stakes reality of the film industry. In this episode, we dive deep into the ultimate "actor's nightmare"—stepping into the lead role of a high-concept, found-footage film with virtually zero prep time and finding a way to thrive under immense pressure. Connor shares her fascinating journey from "throwing spaghetti" at auditions as a teenager to starring in massive hits like The Man in the High Castle and Titans , illustrating how a single "spiderweb" of creative connections can lead to life-changing breakthroughs. From the candid details of negotiating your worth to the liberating power of letting go of the "security blanket" of over-preparation, this conversation is a masterclass on trusting your instinct and remaining adaptable in an ever-changing world. These are the unforgettable stories that landed Conor Leslie right here.
