Kyle
So you're a jewelry maker?
Becca
No, I am an insurance agent who makes jewelry. Or, as my mother likes to say, I have a little hobby.
Kyle
Hobbies are usually things people are bad at. If they were good, they'd make it a career.
Becca
Maybe it's not about money. Maybe it's for the love of it.
Kyle
For some. For others, it's about fear.
Becca
Excuse me. I am not afraid.
Kyle
I didn't say 'you.' I said 'others.' But now that you mention it, you were offered what seemed like a pretty good opportunity in there. It feels like kind of a no-brainer.
Becca
I have a lot going on right now.
Kyle
You want to know what I think?
Becca
I get the feeling you're going to tell me anyway.
Kyle
I think you're an artist, hiding in the body of an insurance agent.
Becca
And I think you like to analyze people.
Kyle
I get it. Insurance is all about managing risk. Making sure that you're protected in the event of a disaster. It's safe.
Becca
Being responsible is an asset to most people.
Kyle
I didn't say that it wasn't. Art is unsafe, it's unpredictable, it's unconventional.
Becca
Exactly, which is why I'm taking over a successful business and I make jewelry on the side.
Kyle
Why?
Becca
Why what?
Kyle
Why do you make jewelry?
Becca
Because I love it. It's challenging, yet meditative, and you get to create something that just exists in your imagination. Plus, the perfect piece makes a person feel like a million bucks.
Kyle
You want to know what I think?
Becca
Why do you keep asking me that? You're just going to tell me anyway.
Kyle
Seeing your face when you talk about it, insurance should be your little hobby, not the other way around.
