EP14: From Disney Star to Running Her Own Creative Agency with Actor turned Director Michelle Carter

In this conversation with Actor turned Director Michelle Carter, we dive into her incredible plot twists, from her childhood home getting destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, to watching an episode of "Hannah Montana" and realizing she wanted to pursue acting, then landing her first acting job on "Hannah Montana." Michelle also walks us through becoming a "movie surfer" for The Disney Channel, meeting her future husband when they were both teen stars and the pressure they faced to keep that relationship a secret since he was in a boy band, continuing to act as an adult, and landing the role of Madison Kelly in BET's "The Quad" before she pivoted into running her own Creative Agency with her husband -- Shot by the Carters. We also dive into the importance of leading with joy, making lemonade out of lemons, how to peacefully collaborate with your significant other, and the importance of tailoring your communication style to specific individuals.
