Hello, wonderful listeners!

Welcome back to another episode of "Confessions of an Aging Ingénue." I'm your Aging Ingénue, Jenni Tooley, thrilled to have you here today.

But before we dive into today's episode, I have a special invitation for you. How about joining me in the confessional on Wednesday nights, every first Wednesday of the month? Check it out at jennitooley.com. Who knows, you might even find yourself in the confessor seat!

Now, let's jump into it. For those joining us for the first time, welcome to "Have I Told You About the Time?" This is my unedited, unscripted, and uncensored podcast where I spill the tea on various experiences in my life. Today, I've got a juicy tale for you.

Ever heard of the movie "Boyhood" by Richard Linklater? It's a masterpiece made over twelve years, following the life of a boy as he grows up. In Part Two of my Boyhood adventure, we pick up where we left off in Year Eight.

So fasten your seatbelts.

From the suspense as I wait for updates on my schedule, leading to an unexpected twist. Then comes the release of the movie, the premiere in Austin, and the realization that fame doesn't always align with financial success.

Cue the texts from people recognizing me, the awkward encounters at my restaurant hostess job, and the humbling reality of the industry.

But here's the plot twist – leveraging Boyhood! Discover how this experience became a powerful tool for fundraising and a reminder about the unpredictability of success in the entertainment world.

So, buckle up for a rollercoaster ride through the highs and lows of my Boyhood journey. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on today's episode, so please comment, review, follow, and subscribe. Your engagement keeps our podcast thriving!
