## **SCRIPT: Episode 02: Facing Ageism**

(*Sound: The hum of a laptop. The slow, rhythmic clicking of a mouse. An email notification dings—then another. Then another. Each one identical.*)

**HOST:**

The thing is, I didn’t notice it at first.

I thought maybe it was the economy.
Maybe it was bad luck.
Maybe I was applying to the wrong places.

But after **six, eight weeks of silence**, I started to see it.

(*Pause. The sound of a slow inhale.*)

I’ve never had trouble finding work since I was 16, working the grill at a local McDonalds.

The longest I’d ever been unemployed in my entire life was **three months**

—and that felt long.

Before that? Maybe **a month, tops — not really sure because its never been an issue my whole life.**

But after losing my job in May of 2023, something was different.

The rejections came faster.

**Or not at all.**

The few interviews I got—**polite, cold, over before they even began.**

And I started wondering… **was it me?**

(*Beat. The slow ticking of a clock in an empty room.*)

## **The Unspoken Rules**

(*Sound: A robotic voice reading a rejection email—flat, emotionless.*)

*“Thank you for your application. We have chosen to move forward with other candidates.”*
(*The voice glitches, repeats itself, overlapping, like a broken machine.*)

**HOST:**

Nobody will say it out loud.

Mostly because its hidden in their subconscious.

And for those that ARE aware of their bias,

they embrace it, are indifferent, or feel shame.

No recruiter tells you,

*“We’re looking for someone younger.”*

No hiring manager says,

*“You’ve been doing this too long.”*

Instead, they **bury it in double**—speak, and corporate masking

•	**“We’re looking for a culture fit”**

•	**“We need fresh ideas.”**

•	**“Fast-paced environment.”**

(*Pause. The sound of a pen scratching on paper—crossing something out. Editing. Hiding.*)

So I started **hiding myself.**

On my resume—no more dates.

No more “20+ years of experience.”

Just **skills, stripped of time.**

Because that’s the game.
And this should not be a game.

FInding a livlihood should not be this mentally taxing.

Yes, it requires effort and focus

But even with those sustained over a period of a year

its produced not much other than 2 piles

The rejections and the ghosts

(*Sound: The distant murmur of an office, a world you’re no longer part of.*)

## **The Patterns of Rejection**

(*Sound: A keyboard clicking. A resume being adjusted, again, and again, and again.*)

**HOST:**

I don’t know what younger job seekers are getting for responses.

But I know what **I’m** getting.

The rejections are **so templated,
so mechanical,**
lack of acknowledgement,
void of any humanity

I’m surprised not seeing actual variable names inside the emails—

**FRED: Dear { Applicant_Name } , Thank you for your interest in { Company _ Name } .**

(*Pause. A slow exhale. The mechanical hum of a server room—cold, impersonal.*)

I spend **hours** on the application process.

Research to find things I feel are a fit
I tailor my resume, write a tailored cover letter,

fill out the myriad of **pointless** forms.

And then—

*Rejection.*

perhaps in a week.
Maybe even in **a day.**

The quickest rejection came to me **within two hours when applying at 11pm at night.**

(*Sound: An email ding. A mouse clicking on “Read.” Silence.*)

They never even looked at it.

(*Beat. Let that settle.*)

## **The Realization**

(*Sound: Wind rustling leaves, distant traffic, the sound of walking—thinking.*)

**HOST:**

At some point, if one is not aware or careful,

you may stop looking at the job market

as the problem

and start looking at **yourself**

**Discovering the finger is pointing at you**

Am I **not good enough anymore?**

Have I reached the corporate expiration date**?**

(*Pause. The sound of a slow inhale, steadying.*)

But then, something happened.

I **woke up.**

**—
The Truth About Experience**

(*Sound: A quiet room. The hum of a desk lamp. A fresh sheet of paper sliding onto a desk.*)

**HOST:**

It took me a half century to learn that **I have value.**

**I have worth.**

And if others choose not to see it?

That’s their loss.

(*Pause. A slow, deliberate exhale—like letting something go.*)

Experience isn’t a **liability.**

It’s **everything.**

They’re hiring **kids**

**with three to five years** of experience

for “senior” roles.

When is the last time you’ve seen a senior/lead surgeon with 3 years experience?

Exactly, its absurd, and that’s an industry topic for another time.

Companies ARE **paying less,**

**expecting more time and effort outside working hours,**

**and churning through people.**

I have to think its unknown blindness.

“Things you dont know that you dont know”

WHat I do know is
They’re **missing out on so much experience talent.**

I could **do this work in my sleep.**

I could **walk out of a meeting and immediately map out an entire system.**

I know **how to move through a project with clients like water.**

And that’s not something you learn to master in **three to five years.**

Word.

(*Sound: A chair scrapes back. A computer boots up. One more try.*)

This is *In the Margins.*

keep going.

(*Sound fades. Episode ends.*)

**Notes on Performance & Production**

•	**Pacing** → **Let the silence land**. Give space after key lines to let them breathe.

•	**Background Sound & Effects** →

•	**Emails, keyboard clicks, ambient hum** for the “machine-like” rejection process.

•	**Wind, footsteps, breath** for the reflective moments.

•	**Emotional Flow** →

•	**Confusion → Frustration → Doubt → Clarity.**

•	The shift from **self-doubt** to **realization of worth** is the emotional climax.

This keeps the **mental health arc alive**—showing how job hunting at this stage isn’t just about work. **It’s about identity.**

Let me know if this feels right or if we need tweaks! 🎙🚀

# **Series Title: “In the Margins: Stories of Survival and Change”**

Creating a podcast series that delves into these deeply personal and transformative experiences could be a compelling way to explore and share your journey. The structure of the series could follow a chronological narrative or focus on thematic episodes that interweave your experiences with broader societal issues like unemployment, homelessness, and the complexities of long-term relationships. Here are some ideas for episode topics within each of the three primary themes you’ve identified:

## **Theme 1: Unemployment and Ageism**

1.	**The Shock of Loss** - Explore the initial impact of losing your job, the emotional toll, and the stark reality of job hunting over 50.

2.	**Facing Ageism** - Discuss the challenges and setbacks faced due to ageism in the job market, perhaps bringing in experts or other personal stories.

3.	**The Job Hunt** - Detail the day-to-day efforts of seeking employment, from crafting resumes to the emotional rollercoaster of interviews and rejections.

4.	**Redefining Worth** - Talk about the psychological impact of unemployment and finding new ways to define self-worth beyond career success.

5.	**New Beginnings** - Share any positive turns or new career paths explored, including unexpected opportunities or ventures.

## **Theme 2: Homelessness and Living in a Car**

1.	**The First Night** - Describe the first night in your car, setting the scene, the thoughts, the fears, and the practical arrangements.

2.	**Daily Life on the Move** - Give listeners a window into what a typical day looks like when you’re living out of a car—where you park, how you eat, and where you find services.

3.	**Community and Isolation** - Discuss the sense of community or isolation felt while being homeless, including interactions with others in similar situations.

4.	**Health and Safety** - Talk about the physical and mental health challenges of being homeless, as well as strategies for staying safe.

5.	**Reflections on Society** - Offer reflections on how this experience has changed your view of society and what homelessness means in today’s world.

## **Theme 3: Dealing with Divorce**

1.	**The End of an Era** - Share the story of your marriage, the good times, and what led to its unraveling.

2.	**The Legal Labyrinth** - Walk through the divorce process, the legal battles, and the complexities involved when splitting a long-term partnership.

3.	**Emotional Rollercoaster** - Discuss the emotional journey of going through a divorce, including dealing with anger, betrayal, and the process of healing.

4.	**Family Dynamics** - Explore how the divorce affected family relationships, dealing with shared custody, or managing co-parenting.

5.	**Moving Forward** - Look at the steps towards rebuilding and the lessons learned from enduring such a profound personal change.

Each episode can be enriched with your personal anecdotes, expert opinions, and perhaps interviews with others who have gone through similar experiences. This not only diversifies the content but also provides multiple perspectives on the issues discussed. This series could serve as a platform for open dialogue about often stigmatized topics, providing support and solidarity to listeners facing similar challenges.

Absolutely—here’s the **draft script for Episode 2: Facing Ageism**. It keeps the **mental health thread strong** while building from frustration to realization. The pacing should be **slow, deliberate, with space for silences**—let the weight of the words settle.

You gave me the night. So here it is—**Redefining Worth.**

This one isn’t just about **losing identity**—it’s about **standing in the wreckage, trying to figure out what’s left.** It’s **Ventura at night**. It’s **the ocean pulling away, then coming back**. It’s **a man, parked against the back, staring at the sunset, realizing there’s no going back.**

# **Episode 4: Redefining Worth**

(*Sound: The low hum of an idling car. The distant crash of waves. A seagull crying out—cutting through the silence. The ocean exhales, then pulls away.*)

**HOST:**

I parked here for a reason.

(*Pause. The slow creak of a car seat. A quiet breath.*)

10 feet from the edge of the Pacific Ocean,

up against the walking path.

As I stare at the waves people pass through my gaze slightly blurred

As my mind drifts to heavy issues

that have been weighing me down lately

Issues like loss and identity.

(*Sound: The waves roll in, then disappear again. The air is thick with salt.*)

As I’m sitting here, watching the time pass

and reflecting,

I find myself asking—

*“If I’m not who I was… then who am I?”*

(*Silence. The kind that lingers.*)

### **The Slow Unraveling of Identity**

(*Sound: A zipper slides open. A duffel bag shifts. Papers rustle—old documents, reminders of a life that no longer fits.*)

**HOST:**

For most of my life, I knew exactly who I was.

A son, brother, cousin, student, boyfriend, husband,

uncle, father, coach, and mentor and that meant something.

Professionally I’ve been a visual problem solver.
I was lucky to do something I loved.
I had a job, and by extension, my identity.

(*Beat.*)

Until one day, I didn’t.

(*Sound: The distant roar of the 101. A car passes, its headlights sweeping across the pavement.*)

I was somebody—that’s what I thought back then.

I had wrapped my identity, in labels put on me by myself and others

And then one day, I wasn’t somebody.

Take away their work,

take away their purpose,

take away the meaning and desire

And left looking at a hole.

(*Pause.*)

The thing about **self-worth** is that you don’t realize how much of it is borrowed.

**From paychecks and job titles.**

From people and places.

From routine and keeping busy.

Take all that away, and what are you left. with?

### **Measuring Yourself by the Wrong Things**

(*Sound: The rhythmic clicking of a turn signal. The car idling, waiting for direction.*)

**HOST:**

I used to measure my worth by **output, and people pleasing.**

By the work I produced.

By the money I brought in.

By how **useful** and helpful I was.

And the world

reinforced that that worth,

that identity outside of me.

(*Sound: A cash register chimes. A card transaction processes. The sterile beep of an approved purchase.*)

**You are what you produce.**

**You are what you earn.**

Lose those things,

and in this culture and economy,

you become **a problem to be solved.**

(*Pause. The emptiness of a night without answers.*)

### **The Moment It Hits**

(*Sound: A car door opens. Footsteps on concrete. The low murmur of waves crashing against the pier.*)

**HOST:**

The first time it hit me—really hit me—I was walking on the **Ventura Pier.**

(*Sound: Wood creaks underfoot. The wind picks up, rolling off the water, carrying whispers of distant conversations.*)

I looked out at the ocean, and I thought—

*“If I disappeared right now… would anything change?”*

(*Beat. Let it settle.*)

Because the world **keeps moving.**

The waves **don’t stop.**

The sun **sets and rises without permission.**

And in that moment, I realized:

I was waiting for something that wasn’t coming.

I was waiting for permission

### **The Work of Rebuilding**

(*Sound: The ocean exhales. A deep breath in response.*)

**HOST:**

So if **worth** isn’t something handed to you…

If it’s not a **job title** or a **salary** or
a **label put on you by yourself
or the world**…

Then what is it?

(*Pause. A flicker of realization.*)

- Maybe worth is in **the trying?**
- Maybe it’s in **waking up when you don’t want to?**
- Maybe it’s in **putting one foot in front of the other, putting in the work,**
- **even when no one is watching?**

(*Sound: Footsteps on pavement. A steady rhythm—forward movement.*)

Maybe it’s in **seeing yourself—really seeing yourself—**

**without attachment, and all the masks you hid behind.**

Maybe **that’s the work.**

(*Pause. The waves crash again, steady, unrelenting.*)

**Leaving the Past Where It Belongs**

(*Sound: A car door shuts. The engine rumbles to life. The headlights carve a path forward.*)

**HOST:**

I don’t have all the answers.

No living human has all the answers.
We’re all figuring this out as we go along.

But I know this—

I can’t keep looking back.

(*Sound: The turn signal clicks. The car pulls away from the curb.*)

The ocean doesn’t ask for permission to keep moving.

I don’t ask for permission, that’s why you’re hearing my voice right now.

Take a moment and ask yourself, are you waiting for someone’s permission?

This is *In the Margins.*

We keep going.

(*Sound fades. Episode ends.*)

**Notes on Performance & Production**

•	**Tone:** **Reflective. Low. Measured. The weight of realization, but also the pull forward.**

•	**Sound Design:**

•	**Ventura atmosphere** → **Waves, seagulls, the distant hum of the 101.**

•	**Moments of silence** → **Letting thoughts land. Letting the weight sit.**

•	**Car sounds** → **A metaphor for movement. Leaving, arriving, pausing.**

•	**Emotional Flow:**

•	**Loss of identity → Questioning worth → Realizing self-worth is built, not given.**

This one **isn’t about answers—it’s about the work of asking the right questions.** It’s about **watching the tide pull away… then realizing it always comes back.**

Let me know if it **feels right**—or if you want me to tweak anything before we move to **New Beginnings.** 🎙🌊🚀

**PROMPTS—Episode 4: Redefining Worth**

(*At some point, you stop seeing yourself the way employers do. You start redefining success, identity, and value on your own terms.*)

**1. The Identity Shift**

•	Who were you **before this all happened**? How did you define yourself?

•	What part of your **old identity** was the hardest to let go of?

•	Have you ever felt like **you disappeared**?

**2. The Problem with Tying Worth to Work**

•	Why do we connect **self-worth to a paycheck**?

•	What’s the biggest **lie you used to believe** about success?

•	If someone **told you today** that you were **worthless** because you don’t have a job, what would you say?

**3. Finding a New Definition**

•	What have you learned about **your own value** through this process?

•	Where do you find **purpose** now?

•	How does someone start seeing themselves **as more than their work**?

## **Episode 3: The Job Hunt script**

Got it! Here’s **Episode 3: The Job Hunt**, shaped from your transcripts into a **cinematic, immersive script** that keeps the momentum from *Facing Ageism*. This one leans into **the grind, the frustration, the psychological toll**—but also the sheer **absurdity** of the numbers game.

## **Episode 3: The Job Hunt**

(*Sound: The rhythmic tap of a keyboard. Click. Click. Click. A deep inhale. An email notification dings. Then another. Then another. Silence.*)

**HOST:**

I wake up.
I find caffeine, most likely at a coffee shop,

and then I go online and start the process of applying for jobs.

That’s the routine.

And honestly its a grind

especially when rejection

is the likely result

Easy for one to find themselves

in a “why bother” mindset.

After months of it, you truly feel you are living groundhog day, over and over and over.

(*Pause. A slow, tired exhale.*)

I tweak my resume.

Rewrite my cover letter.

Tailor it to fit their **exact** job description—because that’s what they say to do.

I fill out their forms, even though I already uploaded my resume.

Some companies use the same recruiting platform,
and no matter how many times one applies on that site,

it NEVER remembers you or your information — complete madness.

(*Sound: A mouse clicking “Next.” A slow, monotonous scroll through endless required fields.*)

•	**What year did you graduate?**

•	**What was your last salary?**

•	**Are you willing to relocate for this $17-an-hour role?**

I hit submit.

(*Sound: A final click. Silence.*)

And then… nothing.

(*Pause. Let the void settle.*)

## **The Brutality of Numbers**

(*Sound: A slow, rhythmic heartbeat. A calculator clicking. Numbers ticking up on a screen.*)

**HOST:**

I’ve applied for **1,500 jobs**. Maybe more. I stopped counting.

I’ve gotten **three interviews.**

Three.

That’s **0.2%.**

(*Beat. Let that statistic hit.*)

That means **99.8% of the time, I am invisible.**

(*Sound: The heartbeat slows. A mechanical voice reading an automated rejection email.*)

*“Thank you for your interest, but we’ve decided to move forward with other candidates.”*

(*The voice glitches, repeats itself, layering over and over.*)

*“We’ve decided to move forward with—”*

*“We’ve decided to move—”*

*“We’ve decided—”*

(*Click. Silence.*)

### **The False Hope of Interviews**

(*Sound: A Zoom call connecting. The distorted chime of a corporate meeting room. A polite, disinterested voice.*)

**INTERVIEWER:**

*“Tell me about yourself.”*

**HOST:**

I’ve rehearsed this.

I’ve done my homework,

know my answers to the standard questions.

I know what they want to hear,

and have a warehouse full of war stories to tap into if needed.

I tell them about my experience.

My skills. How I fit perfectly into what they need.

I’m a good interviewer and have a good feel for how things are going.

This is due to my expertise working with clients.

I can fly the plane, as I build it.

And they politely smile. They nod.

(*Sound: The distant clicking of a pen. A fake chuckle. The unmistakable sound of someone **pretending to be engaged.***)

Then they say—

**INTERVIEWER:**

*“We’ll be in touch.”*

(*Pause. Let that line hang.*)

And **I know.**

(*Sound: A chair creaks. A deep sigh. A cursor hovering over the “End Meeting” button.*)

I know I’ll never hear from them again.

## **The Psychological Toll**

(*Sound: A slow, rhythmic tapping—a restless hand drumming on a desk. The hum of a computer monitor.*)

**HOST:**

No matter your mental fortitude,

Getting rejected **over and over**

does something to you

It changes how you see yourself

and how you fit in the world.

(*Pause. Let that settle.*)

You start questioning everything.

- **Maybe I’m not as good as I thought I was.**
- **Maybe I don’t deserve another shot.**
- **Maybe… I should just stop trying.**

(*Sound: The tapping stops. A heavy silence.*)

This is where the real damage happens.

Because **once you stop believing you have a place in the world,**

**it gets easier to disappear.**

(*Beat. Then, a deep breath. A shift.*)

**One More Try**

(*Sound: A chair slides back. A keyboard clicking—this time, slower. More deliberate.*)

**HOST:**

But here’s the thing.

**I can’t stop trying.**

Not because I believe in the system.

Not because I think my next job, is right around the corner.

But because I have to.

(*Sound: A mouse clicking “Submit.” The quiet hum of a machine still running.*)

I wake up.

I find caffeine

I apply for jobs.

That’s the routine.
See you tomorrow.

(*Sound fades. Episode ends.*)

---

**Notes on Performance & Production**

•	**Pacing** → **Deliberate. Tired, but not lifeless. Let the weight of rejection build.**

•	**Background Sound & Effects** →

•	**Keyboard clicks, email dings, corporate meeting sounds** for realism.

•	**Heartbeats, mechanical rejection voices** for the emotional impact.

•	**Emotional Flow** →

•	**Frustration → Exhaustion → Self-doubt → A flicker of resilience.**

This episode leans into **the psychological toll**—how **the process itself is broken, impersonal, and damaging.**

Let me know if you want any tweaks before moving on to **Redefining Worth**! 🎙🚀

### Episode 3: The Job Hunt

(Applying. Waiting. Hoping. Repeating. What’s it like to be stuck in the cycle of endless job applications?)

1. The Daily Routine

- Walk me through a typical day in your job search—how do you find postings, apply, and track your applications?
- How much time do you spend each day applying? Does it feel productive, or like shouting into the void?

2. The Numbers Game

- Roughly how many jobs have you applied for? What has been your interview-to-application ratio?
- What kinds of automated rejections have you received? Do you ever get any feedback from companies?
- Have you had interviews that seemed promising, only to get ghosted?

3. The Emotional Rollercoaster

- How does it feel to get rejected over and over—especially for jobs you’re overqualified for?
- Are there any moments of hope that have kept you going? A promising interview, a kind recruiter, a near miss?
- Have you had moments where you just wanted to give up? How do you push through?

4. Strategies & Lessons Learned

- What have you changed about your approach as the months go by? Any lessons or tactics you’ve picked up?
- What do you wish you had known at the start of this process?
- If someone else in their 50s just lost their job today, what advice would you give them?

Recording Tips

- Tell stories → If a memory or moment stands out, dive into it. What happened? How did it feel?
- Use details → Describe where you were, what you saw, what you heard when these moments happened.
- Be honest → If you’re frustrated, say it. If you’re exhausted, say it. The more real, the better the final script.

Whenever you’re ready, send the recordings over, and I’ll craft them into episodes that pull the listener in. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

## Post Production

The quality of a podcast relies heavily on the postproduction process, where raw recordings are transformed into polished, professional episodes that captivate listeners.

This includes editing the **audio podcast** for clarity and flow, designing eye-catching **episode cover art**, creating a polished **video podcast**, and crafting an attention-grabbing **YouTube thumbnail**. Together, these elements ensure a cohesive, high-quality experience for your audience across all platforms.

## Episode Reflection

The success of a podcast episode lies in delivering value, entertainment, and connection to the audience.

To continuously improve, it’s essential to reflect on finished episodes to assess what worked well and what could be enhanced. These reflection sessions should provide clear, actionable insights while staying concise and focused on the core aspects of the episode.

# Example - DON'T DELETE BEFORE DOING A CSV MERGE

Gathered: No
In Video: No
Premiere: No

If you don't care about the magical benefits of CSV merges, then just use this area to manually create a list of B-roll shots.

---

If you use [Frame.io](http://frame.io) to create comments on your video's rough A-Roll cut, either for fixes or B-roll ideas, you can export all those comments to a CSV file.

Then you can go into Google Sheets and delete all columns except for the Comment and Timestamp ones.

Leave the top row with the column names - Notion has a bug (not fixed yet) that will randomly delete one of your rows on CSV import. However, I've found that if you leave that top row there, it'll always delete that one.

I have no idea why this happens, but it does.

Download your new, 2-column CSV file and do a CSV merge on this B-roll table (well, not this one - duplicate this entire row in the Master Tracker and then do it on the B-roll table there). Again, make sure you don't delete this item before the merge - it's the only thing that will preserve all the useful columns here. Without it, the CSV will delete all columns here and replace them with the two that it has. But with it, it'll just import perfectly.

From there, you can start adding tags to each B-roll item. Why do this? Well, each tag is a "gather type". By assigning gather types, such as "film" or "online image", you can batch your b-roll gathering tasks. It's the same idea that filmmakers use when shooting scenes: If Scenes A, B, H, and Z are all in the same location, they'll shoot them altogether even if they separated by other scenes in the final movie cut. Batching makes you more productive.

Once you're done tagging, use the various database views for each stage of the project. Switch to Gather first to sort everything by Gather Type. Once you're done collecting, you can go back to Chrono, which makes it easy for you (or your editor) to zoom right to the timestamp in the video and place B-roll.

Use Fix view to show any entry with "#fix" in its content. I use this for A-roll fixes that need to be done.

Finally, you can use the Premiere checkbox and switch between Premiere and After Effects views if you're like me and work with both Premiere and After Effects.

# Example - DON'T DELETE BEFORE DOING A CSV MERGE

Gathered: No
In Video: No
Premiere: No

If you don't care about the magical benefits of CSV merges, then just use this area to manually create a list of B-roll shots.

---

If you use [Frame.io](http://frame.io) to create comments on your video's rough A-Roll cut, either for fixes or B-roll ideas, you can export all those comments to a CSV file.

Then you can go into Google Sheets and delete all columns except for the Comment and Timestamp ones.

Leave the top row with the column names - Notion has a bug (not fixed yet) that will randomly delete one of your rows on CSV import. However, I've found that if you leave that top row there, it'll always delete that one.

I have no idea why this happens, but it does.

Download your new, 2-column CSV file and do a CSV merge on this B-roll table (well, not this one - duplicate this entire row in the Master Tracker and then do it on the B-roll table there). Again, make sure you don't delete this item before the merge - it's the only thing that will preserve all the useful columns here. Without it, the CSV will delete all columns here and replace them with the two that it has. But with it, it'll just import perfectly.

From there, you can start adding tags to each B-roll item. Why do this? Well, each tag is a "gather type". By assigning gather types, such as "film" or "online image", you can batch your b-roll gathering tasks. It's the same idea that filmmakers use when shooting scenes: If Scenes A, B, H, and Z are all in the same location, they'll shoot them altogether even if they separated by other scenes in the final movie cut. Batching makes you more productive.

Once you're done tagging, use the various database views for each stage of the project. Switch to Gather first to sort everything by Gather Type. Once you're done collecting, you can go back to Chrono, which makes it easy for you (or your editor) to zoom right to the timestamp in the video and place B-roll.

Use Fix view to show any entry with "#fix" in its content. I use this for A-roll fixes that need to be done.

Finally, you can use the Premiere checkbox and switch between Premiere and After Effects views if you're like me and work with both Premiere and After Effects.
