Some actors dabble. Aimee Miles dove in — and never looked back.
From her childhood in Northern California to graduating from the elite Wesleyan University, Aimee has pursued her acting dreams with relentless passion. A bilingual Spanish speaker with a thesis on Latin American theatre under military dictatorships, her journey is anything but ordinary.
Now raising a family in California's Gold Country and still working out of San Francisco (with a killer home studio to boot), Aimee continues to hustle, grow, and inspire.
In this episode, Todd Kramer and Jay Reum sit down with Aimee for a funny, honest, and deeply motivating chat about staying in the game, building a career around your life (not the other way around), and finding joy through the grind. Jay nearly cries. Todd keeps it together.
🎭 This one's got love, laughter, and a ton of actor wisdom. Don't miss it.
