You're Fired
Before You Know My Name
Season 2 Finale! YOU PEOPLE. Thank YOU so much for sticking with me through this journey. I don't have plans to do much on this platform after this episode, but who knows! You never know... This is my real, real real-time story. Coming to you from something that only just recently happened to me. A real dump in the mud story, turned into, "Hey, well, I'm an actor, and the world is only telling me that more and more as my life goes on." This is for your inspo Wednesday, and although I don't have an "end" to this story just yet (as it's only still just happening), it goes to show you proof...

Before You Know My Name
Second to last episode and this one does not disappoint! A GIANT welcome to fellow actor/podcaster Sam Valentine of One Broke Actress. I truly am so grateful to Sam for all she does for her fellow actors and the platform she has created, and for coming on my show!

Influencing the World
Before You Know My Name
We are already coming to a close on this season of the podcast. This season is shorter than the first, I know, but much longer in time altogether. Let me introduce you to Instagram-er, You Tube-er, video and graphic creator, as well as now Podcaster Murs Alison! I love this episode because Murs really breaks down that word we all love, "Influencer," and opens up about the actual human behind the profile. He opens up about how challenging it was being a young person in that very new industry that has now skyrocketed so many people's lives, and how much work and personal growth went into...

Casting Turned Matching
Before You Know My Name
Amy De Souza and I met when she had a clients that she thought would be interested in going on a date with me. And although the date didn't turn into a second or third, Amy and I have been a 'match made in heaven' ever since. She is, like most CD's, obsessed with actors and respect the hell out of the craft and the life we live. Coming from an entertainment family and a background in acting herself, she has had every type of job in this industry. From actor to PA for a costumer to working for breakdowns to casting to nannying... her career has now taken her into matching not actors, but real...
