Hey, this is Brian. This is the best of Beth Shactor. I was in my guest few years ago before we

ever worked together, but I have had the privilege of last year and a half to work incredibly closely

with Beth. She has, is an executive producer on billions now. She helps run the writers room.

I know you've already been doing the job regardless. I know. Everyone in the room talks about how

you're the rock star and you're basically help run set and everything, but I'm just saying.

No, I know. I'm just going to catch up. Sorry. No, that's fine. No, advocate for yourself. Start right

away. Just immediately. Just go for it. Let's just fight. How else can it happen? I mean,

you have to, if you don't want to add, this is not what a lot of what I want to talk about.

A woman in the business. How do you advocate? Yes. That's it. Don't let someone

understate your title. Exactly. Say what it is. Is that queen of the universe? You just say,
