It's going to be awesome. So it seems to be that this podcast is becoming biweekly and let me give you a few quick updates, and then I have exciting news. I have a ton of stuff to share with you today. I cannot wait. Without further ado, let's get started.
Speaker 1:In the last episode, we talked about submitting to three agencies. I heard back from two. I am officially signed with Agency A, the first agency that I went and had a meeting with, and let me just give you an update real quick on what's going on with my agency meetings. So Agency A already had my meeting with. It went fantastic and I'm officially signed Yahoo. So next steps moving forward with them is to get my page up and running, which is all stuff that they take care of, and I just had my final meeting with agency guidelines and what to expect, which was really awesome, very fun, pretty typical information. I guess the most important things to note were, like preferred contact methods. This agent preferred that I contact them via email and then save calls and texts for anything that's urgent or on the day important of a booking. We talked about, you know, not talking about your pay rate on the job, which is so super important and seems very obvious, but I think you know. If you're new, how would you know that? Why would you know that? We talked about professionalism and making sure we're responding to emails and castings quickly, in a good time manner, so they can submit the package that they want to submit as soon as possible to the client. And now I'm at the point where I'm just really gathering all my materials so I can submit them over to the agent, so they have everything they can pick and choose what they want to use for my headshot, what they want to use for my comp card just gathering all that information and submitting it over and seeing what they say and seeing what comes of it. So that's what's been happening with agency A.
Speaker 1:Agency B originally was my meeting that I had to book out about a month and I had it y'all. I had it y'all, and we'll talk about it in a minute because I have interesting information for you. I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments, Let me know what you think of this agent meeting. And then agency C was four to six months out for actually signing talent. That's just how their process works. So we're still waiting to hear back from them, which is absolutely fantastic. So that's where I am with my three agency meetings and, without further ado, let's talk about agency B meeting.
Speaker 1:Okay, this agency meeting was completely different than agency A meeting, like so different. And I think over the last couple weeks, as I've had these new agency meetings you know, with my first agent. That was a couple years ago and it was my first time going in and experiencing these meetings. As I was moving forward here, I wanted to be really strategic and really smart with how I went to these meetings. So it's really feels like these meetings are the first time that I'm going in prepared and knowing what to expect, and that went all out the window. Let me tell you, like I'm just like out of loss for words for how different these meetings have gone.
Speaker 1:I drove down to the agency's brick and mortar and I was there about a half hour early, which is what I like. I drove down to the agency's brick and mortar and I was there about a half hour early, which is what I like. I had time to do my makeup, had time to do a few little social media posts, which we will touch on in a little bit, but I was instructed to let them know when I got there, wait downstairs in the lobby and then, when they were ready, they would call me up. And this lobby I don't know. This is not really important information, but I'm going to tell you so that you can paint a picture in your brain of what I was experiencing. So this lobby had one of those old fashioned elevators where you like pull the cage to the side and I'm laughing because I did not really know how to use this elevator and each each like okay, so let me explain a little better.
Speaker 1:So on the lobby floor you had to pull the elevator door, like the part that usually opens and closes like on its own. You had to pull that door and then pull the cage. So the elevator came all the way down to the first floor and I saw the elevator through the window, because there's a window with the cage ones. I saw the elevator through the window hit the ground floor and then I just stood there because I was expecting, like, the door to open or something to happen or a ding or I don't. I don't know, I don't know, I, I don't know. So I just stood there for 30 seconds and I was like I'm supposed to do something right now and I don't know what that something is. So I, you know, I pushed the door was like a pocket door and so I pushed it into the side like a typical elevator pocket door. So I pushed it to the side and I pushed the cage to the side. But these, these doors were like spring-loaded right so they're not easy to like push open. So I wasn't sure if I was breaking the elevator while I was getting on the elevator, which was hilarious in its own right.
Speaker 1:So I get in the elevator, finally I push the button and the thing doesn't move and I was like, oh shit, what am I doing wrong? And there was also, like randomly, another like floor number was lit up. I was like, oh my God, I don't know, what am I actually? Am I just going to get locked in this elevator and not even make it to my agent meeting and like what the fuck is happening? I was all worked up just with this whole elevator experience, not to mention oh, not to mention important detail I had to pee so bad. I had been holding my pee for like an hour already. I had to be so bad.
Speaker 1:So not only am I like dancing in this elevator with like my knees crossed, like trying not to fucking pee, but I also can't figure out how to work the fucking elevator. Oh God, okay. So I pushed the button again and finally it brings me up to the my desired floor. And when I get to the desired floor I'm like, okay, I got on, now I know how to get off, not going to be a big deal, exact same way you get on Nope, nope, nope. So when I get off this elevator, this door, the cage door is the same right. The cage door traveled with me, but the door to get off the elevator was not a pocket door, it's a push door, like a door, like, like like a door to go in, like a normal fucking door without a knob, just like a push door. So I'm like looking at this, seeing the receptionist through the window, like trying to figure out how to slide this door, and then finally I just pushed it like a tiny bit and it moved and I was like, oh shit, that's how I do it. So I pushed it all the way and when I get out of it, when I get out of the elevator, there's like three people staring at me and I was like, oh god, they know, they know I don't know how to use this elevator.
Speaker 1:Do you think, actually, side note? Do you think they find that comical, like when new people come into the office who have never been in there before? Do you think, actually, side note, do you think they find that comical, like when new people come into the office who have never been in there before. Do you think like they wait and comically see, like that's actually really funny? I hope that they do that. That would be so funny. Anyways, okay, wow, we haven't even gotten to the story yet, like we've only talked about the elevator. So I get off the elevator and still got to pee.
Speaker 1:The agent invites me into their office and I'm like can I just use your bathroom real quick? And he's like, absolutely. So I go into the office, I set my stuff down, I run to the, the go to the bathroom. But I had this like underlying feeling that I was annoying him by asking to go to the bathroom and I was like, oh shit, okay, this is not the way we want to start our day out. So we go to the bathroom. You know, the bathroom is normal. Okay, the bathroom was normal, everything was normal in the bathroom. Can I just get that out of the way? So I finished in the bathroom. I'm quick. I try to like take a second because I feel so flustered while I'm in the bathroom, to like take a deep breath and like center myself and ground myself.
Speaker 1:But honestly, I was just kind of like a little jumpy and excited to be there, because this agency is an agency that I have submitted to no joke four times. Let me be clear with this. I'm not like submitting every day, four days in a row. I'm submitting like every six to 10 months to this agency, hoping that they would take a bite. And the reason why I have submitted to this agency so many times is because so, because I work behind the scenes and I work crew jobs. I've worked like four or five crew jobs where the talent has been booked by this agency in my area and I was like, oh shit, so this agent has like the market in my area, so this would be a great opportunity for me to be signed with somebody who not only has work in my area, but every model and every actor that I had talked to that had been booked on jobs were like really happy and proud to say who their agent was, and so they had like a really good track record in my mind before I even had gotten there to like have a meeting.
Speaker 1:So I go into into the office. I'm feeling like this guy's a little annoyed and I sit down in the chair and the chair is really awkwardly far away from the desk. I felt so far away from like the agent. It was a. I got the feeling that it was less of having a conversation and more like I was being interrogated a little bit, and not in like a torturous way, but in like like, in a way that maybe that agent was having a bad day. He asked me you know, give me a little bit of background on yourself. And so what I said was you know, I went to school for musical theater and for acting.
Speaker 1:I did a couple years in New York, a couple years in LA, really kind of truncating my story, and I lived in LA for a couple years, really started taking my career seriously about two years ago, and the question that threw me off a little bit was well, why didn't you take your career seriously before? In that moment that I got that question, I instantly got that little ting of like disapproval. So what I decided to do was just to stay calm and remain honest, and my honest answer to that was I grew up in a household where feeling safe, being seen, was not a priority and really not conducive to this career, and so I needed to take a little bit of time to heal my brain and grow my mental health so that I could take this career seriously and really enjoy it in the process. And I felt really authentic saying that, because that's my story, that's the truth is. I just needed time to heal. And I felt really authentic saying that because that's my story, that's the truth is. I just needed time to heal.
Speaker 1:And then the next question I got was well, what did you do when you were in New York and LA? That's when I said well, those were times where I didn't feel safe being seen for the most part, but when I was in LA, pre-pandemic, I was making all my money doing background work and then when pandemic hit, it didn't really fit anymore. And then I moved back to Maine, to the area where I grew up, so that I could recoup and really get everything straight in my mind and my body and my health. You know I had. I had been so excited because oh, I guess this is new for you guys too I built my physical portfolio after going to that first agent meeting and not having a resource that I felt like was really important to have with me, I took it seriously and I built my portfolio and I brought it with me, obviously because I want to showcase what I have, and I had only submitted you know three pictures to this agency. So I didn't feel like they understood my range that I have within my portfolio and primarily, I'm signing with this agency for modeling work. That's more of what they do.
Speaker 1:So I casually brought up in conversation that I had my portfolio with me if the agent wanted to look at it, and the response was no, everything's digital now, so we don't really need to look at it, and I felt like that was a lost opportunity for them. Honestly, it just felt like it's something that takes a little, very little time and very little effort, and I had already worked so hard on it. So maybe it was me getting in my feels about the amount of effort I had put into building that portfolio. But whatever, you know, I left the meeting feeling like I represented myself and I was authentic in who I was, which has not always been easy for me. And secondly, I left the meeting feeling like the energy on their end was a little off, and so I wasn't really sure what to do with those two things, because they're kind of competing. I felt good about how I represented myself, but didn't feel great about the actual physical energy in the room and I'm so super sensitive to that stuff, like it's so easy for me to tell if somebody's having a bad day and in my day to day life when that's happening, it's easy for me to just bring it up casually in conversation so I can have a conversation with that person about it and maybe help and relief. But that's not an appropriate and in this sort of situation. So it it just it kind of felt a little strange to me, which is fine, and did I mention that this meeting was on my birthday? It was my birthday meeting, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:So then I got home and I talked to my husband about it and I was saying, you know, like this felt a little bit off. That felt a little bit off. And I was telling him about the specific conversation where he said you know, why weren't you taking this seriously before? And my husband blurted out so quickly your dad died. And I was like, oh my God, that would have been the perfect thing to say. That would have been the perfect thing to say my dad died. He did. That's the truth. That's, wow, I can't believe. Strange. Um, it's. How do I put this in words?
Speaker 1:It's not that I forgot that my dad died. It's that I am such a different person than I was a couple years ago that I almost forgot about this part of my life. I used to really be focused on the past. What's happening in the past, what was going on in the past, what was holding me back, holding me back, holding me back. And now I'm so future focused and so excited to live in the present moment that I sometimes forget about the things that happened in the past, because there's a lot. There's a lot that I've worked through to get to this amazing point that I'm at now, and my husband reminding me of that was such a great reminder of how far I've come, how great my life is now compared to then, and that's something I've created and I've built and I've taken the time to like, foster and nurture, and I've built and I've taken the time to like, foster and nurture, and I'm just so proud of myself.
Speaker 1:And two days later, this is the email that I received Hi, megan, it was a sincere pleasure meeting you and we'd be thrilled to represent you. Y'all that's two out of three agents that I just signed with. I did it, I did it, I fucking did it. I have worked so hard to get here and I am so deeply, deeply, deeply proud and thankful and grateful to not just myself for putting in this like hard work that I put in before the support system that is around me my husband, my mother in law and my best friend, and just all these amazing people have supported me and making me feel like my dreams could and will be my reality. I'm just so thankful and I haven't even met with a third agent yet. This might be a three out of three agency hall.
Speaker 1:And all of this, all of this started with me booking that model workshop photo shoot in January, the one where I was biting my nails and couldn't really afford and wasn't sure if I wanted to do it All. That one thing that I did, that I had intuition to say this feels like it's the right thing to do, that one thing has changed the direction of my career entirely. That's the power of inspired action and of manifesting what you truly want and putting the action into the manifestation. Oh, I'm just beyond thrilled, I'm just beyond excited. I'm so excited. So, for agency B, now the next steps are gathering all the materials, filling out the paperwork and sending everything over, and then I'm sure we'll have some sort of agency guidelines set up meeting as well. Wow, y'all, it has been such a wild ride 2025. So far it really has been such an amazing glow up year at this point and the best is still yet to come. I really believe that and I have a few more things I want to touch on really quickly and then we will move on to the most amazing, exciting piece of news I have coming. I am yeah, OK, let's get to the other stuff. First, the test shoot that I did not received photos back yet, so there's my update on that. As soon as they come in, you know what I'll do I'll share them with you. I'm excited. So that's my update on that.
Speaker 1:I have been playing around with social media. I've been having so much fun. I've been having so much fun, like I've really found the joy and I've unblocked, like the block that I had inside my self. I'm becoming this new personality and this new persona and that is so exciting. So, after playing around with it for a couple weeks, I started a journey to 10k and I'm on day four and I've already tripled my following and it has been such a fantastic way to get my stuff out there and get recognized and market myself, and so if you haven't followed or joined in, I'm starting all of this stuff out on TikTok. I'm trying to figure out what is a strategy for this and then I'll move it over to Instagram. So if you're not following on TikTok, please check it out. I'm at Meg Salisbury Official.
Speaker 1:So, as far as my website goes, let me tell you a little bit about the process, and then I'm going to read you some copy. I'm so excited. So the process of this started with Ruthann sending me a sheet that explains to me all the copy that I need to provide, and it's really detailed and she makes it so easy to fill this out. And, honestly, the hardest part about this has been like writing about myself, which it doesn't really come super comfortable to me, but I think this is something that I can work on, is like self-promoting, self-promoting, self-promoting. I think it's a great exercise for me. So we've started this whole process with copy, and next week I meet with a copywriter to go over all of the copy that I provided and see if there's any way that we can improve it and make it better.
Speaker 1:And so let me talk about how my website's going to be laid out in a general way. So there's going to be a homepage, like normal, there's going to be an about page, like normal, and then I'm going to have four service pages. My services that I can provide is acting, modeling, voice acting and then there's going to be a page for this podcast yeah, and a blog for this podcast, which I'm so excited for. I've written like four blog posts and I can't wait to have them out somewhere where people can see them. Today, what I wanted to read you was my mission statement for my website and this is stuff I've all been working on and my about page for my website, and I'd love to hear your feedback, tell me what you think in the comments about this, if there's some way that you think I can improve it.
Speaker 1:But I just want to share with you what I'm, what I'm thinking and what I'm feeling in my heart, and this was not easy for me to write and I might get a little emotional. I'm not gonna lie, because as I read this stuff, it really, it really reminds me of how far I've come, and all of this is subject to change, but this is where I'm at right now. So my introduction to who I am is hey, there I'm Meg. Natural talent meets hardworking homie, glowing up one day at a time on my podcast. I think that's great. Oh, that's so me, so me.
Speaker 1:And then my mission statement is I've always believed that stories have the power to change us, the ones that make us feel seen, crack us open or remind us that we're not alone. Through the characters I play, I hope to spark something in others courage, reflection, maybe even a little healing. I want people to walk away from my work feeling more connected to themselves, to others or to the bigger picture. Acting and modeling isn't just a performance. To me, it's about a creative space for real emotions, important conversations and the kind of growth that starts from the inside out. And the kind of growth that starts from the inside out.
Speaker 1:My goal is to inspire people to reclaim their own narrative, because when we see ourselves in a story, we start to believe in new possibilities for ourselves. I truly believe that, y'all. I truly believe that when we see ourselves in stories, it gives us the ability to change, because when we are watching a character that's similar to us and we're watching them go through the hard struggles and they're coming out at the end and you're getting like a little teary-eyed by watching their hero's arc. It makes you believe that you can do it too. So good, so good, so good. Here's my about page, and this is where I might get a little emotional. And if I don't, no shade on that too, I'm a strong woman. Yeah, this was really hard for me to write and it really encapsulates a lot of my full story, without going too deep and leaving it vague enough for an audience to connect to, and I really wanted my about page to feel like a story. Here's my story Becoming the woman I used to dream about.
Speaker 1:When I was little, I used to wander around. Oh, I really did do this. Seriously, like none of this is lies, I really did do this. Here we go. When I was little, I used to wander through the woods singing to the trees no joke, total real life, princess vibes. At eight, I'd get completely lost in my own world, dreaming of what it would be like to be in a movie or to perform on Broadway. Sometimes I still get so caught up in it I cry Happy tears, but still Fast forward to college.
Speaker 1:I enrolled at AMDA for musical theater and honestly thought this is it. I mean getting to sing, dance and act every single day. Come on, dreams come true, right. But halfway through something started to feel off and I stumbled into film acting and something just clicked. From that moment I realized this this is what I want Now. I've never been the most naturally confident person, but I took the leap anyways. And wow, it was way harder than I expected. So I tried a different approach and I figured that if I had worked behind the scenes for a while, maybe I'd get comfortable being on set. So I got a PA job and five films later I'd learned so much. But I'd also boxed myself in. People started seeing me as crew, not talent. My knowledge grew, but my confidence took a nosedive. I kept thinking who do I think I am? I'm just a girl from small town, maine. Being a big time actor probably unrealistic. And that became the loop in my head Not soon after my dad passed away at 67 and everything changed.
Speaker 1:It hit me If life is that short, then what the hell am I waiting for? I started asking different questions, not the fear-based what ifs, but the hopeful kind. What if I could leave a legacy? What if I could inspire other dreamers to go for it? What if I documented the journey and that's how my podcast, the Glow Up Year, came to life. It held me accountable, it pushed me creatively and it gave me the space to grow into that next version of myself, the one who's ready to be seen to show up fully, to chase the joy that comes with the dream. And then my reality started to shift. I actually started booking paid acting work. I got signed by one agent, then two and then three. When I changed my mindset, my whole life began to shift.
Speaker 1:Listen, at my core, I'm just a creative person with a big heart, a lot of grit and stories that I can't wait to tell. I'm not just here to say the lines. I want to co-create something real. I love working with directors to build performances that feel grounded and powerful and unforgettable. And if there's one thing that I hope to be known for, it's for showing up honestly, telling the truth through my work and living inside the story, not just performing it, because I really do believe stories can change us and me. That's my kind of magic Applause, please, applause, please. That was hard to write for me, but that's how I feel and I'll share with you this one last section on my about page.
Speaker 1:The prompt to this was what makes you different from every other small business out there. And here's the copy I wrote for what makes me different? What makes me different? I'm big on collaboration. I don't just show up with my own ideas. I come ready to build something alongside the director that feels alive and layered. I think my lived experiences give me a different lens. I approach every role with real empathy and a willingness to go deep and, yeah, I bring the rawness. I want people to feel something when they watch. But I'm also reliable. I show up on time, I know my lines and I bring good energy to set. Not to mention, I'm not just in this.
Speaker 1:For me, I share everything through my podcast the good, the messy, the stuff that people don't usually talk about, because I actually wanna help other people grow too. Don't believe in gatekeeping. If I learn something that could help someone else glow up in their own way, I'm sharing it. At the end of the day, I just really care about the work, the people, the story, the characters, because for me, this isn't just about building a career. It's about creating something meaningful, leaving people better than I found them and proving that even big dreams from small towns are worth chasing. I'm here to do the work, tell the truth and light the way for others while I'm doing it. Well, now that I've spilled my guts to you, that's me at the core. That's who I am, and what I wanted for this website was for people to feel like they were just having a conversation with me. I want and I know that this website is going to feel so unique to who I am, at my core, and I'm just so excited to share that with everyone. As I have more updates, as we go through more of the process, I'll let you know how the website's going. I'll let you know how my copy meeting went, but for now, that's where I'm at and let's get on to the big, the exciting, the news of the day.
Speaker 1:The news of the day. It was my birthday this past week and I really thought long and hard about what I wanted for my birthday Sorry, what I wanted to give myself for my birthday, not get from other people. I'd been saving up some money and I decided that I was going to do Coco Rocha's model camp. I'm going to do Coco Rocha's model camp. I'm going to Coco Rocha's model camp. I'm doing it. I'm doing it. I'm doing it. I'm doing it. Oh my God, I'm so fucking excited.
Speaker 1:This was on my list of goals for the year and I was like what better opportunity than to pull the plug on this and pay for it and book a date? So I'm going to Coco Rocha's model camp on June 14th through the 17th. It's going to be so amazing. I'm so excited. I got all the details. I know where I'm going. We're going to work on runway. We're going to work on posing. I'm going to get to leave with two digitals that are one's going to be beauty and one's going to be like a full body fashion shot. There was opportunity to book a second shoot, and so I booked a second shoot. It's just gonna be so great I'm gonna have so like there is possibility that I'm gonna have 20 new high fashion images to add to my book.
Speaker 1:For those of you who like know me outside of, this, high fashion while I'm only 5'4 is a ridiculous want, but it's what I want to do. I want to play those crazy characters that are like in worlds that don't fucking exist in real life. I want to like create stories with the modeling and I just I am so excited to go, get to be in the presence of somebody who has created such amazing results and learn from her, and there's going to be a ton of social media content. So come see that Also I should mention too Quickly off topic. I asked my audience on social media this week To vote on whether they wanted to see me prep for Coco Roche's model camp, or whether they wanted to see, or whether they wanted to learn how to build a DIY portfolio From scratch, no booking required and by that I mean portfolio Real and a modeling portfolio required, and by that I mean portfolio real and a modeling portfolio. And it was a relatively close vote but the majority ruled that they wanted to see how to build a DIY portfolio from scratch and we're going to start with modeling. So that's happening this week and by the time this comes out we'll already be on social media. So if you want to go over and see that, absolutely please check out my social media. We'll go more in depth on it here as soon as there's like a break in craziness of awesome stuff happening. Never mind, there won't be a break in craziness and awesome stuff happening, but we still go over it at some point in the very near future, because next month.
Speaker 1:One of my goals is to start working on my reel Back to Coco Rocha. I have to bring two curated outfits and then for my shoot they're offering us a rack of clothing, but I get six outfit options because this is such a level up and a quantum leap for me. I'm talking with a stylist. Styling is not included. You know, hair makeup is included, but styling is not, and I want to go to Coco Rocha's model camp and feel like I am the flyest bitch there, because I am. I might not have the best skills going in, but I want to look and feel like I am fly, and so I have a stylist meeting next week to talk about what this would potentially cost and all of those things. So I'll let you know how that goes, but I'm excited to work with somebody else to help me curate some fucking high fashion sexy bitch looks for this.
Speaker 1:You know it's one thing to like invest money to go to like a retreat like this and easy to skimp on the small things. I don't want to skimp on the small things. Skimp on the small things. I don't want to skimp on the small things. I want to go in there and rock it and have these incredible photos. I feel so confident about going in.
Speaker 1:The only thing that I'm going to work on over the next month is my runway walk. Oh girl, I need to work on my runway walk, but if I'm being real, that's not what I want to do. I don't want to go walk on runway. I want to pose in photos and also like I'm five real. That's not what I want to do. I don't want to go walk on runway. I want to pose in photos and also like I'm 5'4, like who's gonna hire me to walk on a runway unless it's like a petite show, I guess, but whatever. So that is the really fucking exciting news that I have today, besides all the other fucking exciting news.
Speaker 1:Also, one last thing I didn't talk about with the agency agency B was that they talked about how they have a lot of fitness clients in their roster, and so this is something that's actually been on my mind for a couple weeks now is wanting to tone up my body so I can do fitness photography if I want, because that sounds and looks like something that would be really exciting, and I want to feel strong and confident, and I already feel confident in my body, but I want to feel strong and fit and active and really great, and so I started going to the gym and, with my amazing husband's work gym, they give you an opportunity to work with a personal trainer to develop a plan. You don't get to work with them like all the time, but you get to develop a plan with them and then they'll check in with you as you're growing and doing the exercises you know throughout, like a six-week program, and so I started doing that as well. I'm really trying to take all aspects of this career seriously and it's working because look at all the amazing success I've had in just the past couple weeks since I talked to you last. So just to recap all the wins from this episode I went and I had my agency B meeting and I got signed. Yeah, I built my physical portfolio and I actually, for the first time, feel like a real model. Yeah, I am still waiting on photos coming back from the test shoot. I started my social media and have found a real rhythm that's fun and enjoyable and brings me a lot of joy. My website is coming together and building the copy for it right now. I'll let you know as I have updates for that and I signed up for Coco Rocha's model camp and I made it. We're really having a quantum leap over the next month. I cannot wait. It's going to be so fucking fantastic.
