I'm back! Thank you so much for your encouragement!
Today I break down the difference between being good at something vs. being meant for something. When people say to you, "but you're so good at that! You should do that for a job!" and your heart is telling you the opposite, what do you do? Are they right?
There is nothing logical about pursuing your dreams, so how do you fight that logic?
P.S. You will also be good at the thing y...

But when you're pursuing something extraordinary, you can't take ordinary steps.
This episode is a deep dive into why that's actually awesome and hwo you can use it to your advantage.

.....And we're back!
Hello, Season 5. This episode is about dreams that aren't logical—so much so, that it can be hard to find people who support them.
What do you do when people don't support your vision? Or when people don't believe you can't do it? What do you do when other people's doubts start to make you doubt? I share how I've navigated those obstacles in the past year and a half as I produced my first TV special.
In this episode, I talk with Amanda Durocher about my new dream that feels totally out of reach, the fears I have about it, and how to achieve it anyway. We also talk about how to know if your dream is fully aligned for you and what to do when things don't work out how you planned.

Most of us have been brainwashed by the scarcity narrative in Hollywood. In this episode, I explain what it looks like, how you can see if it's ruling your career, and how it's happening on a major scale right now. And this all leads to why I'm voting NO on the contract ratification for IATSE.
Today I'm talking with editor extraordinaire Zack Arnold (Cobra Kai, Burn Notice, Empire). Zack shares his insights about the culture in Hollywood and how this YES strike authorization vote will be just the beginning of much needed change (and the consequences of voting NO).
Every 3 years our (the people who work in the crew for television and features) contracts are re-negotiated with the AMPTP (Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers). This year, we've asked the AMPTP to stop the abuse with the 14-16 hour days, the lack of proper rest periods, the "new media" contracts, no meal breaks, and unlivable wages. AMPTP basically told us to go f*ck ourselves. Please listen to this important and p...
