About this listen

In Leave the Gun. Take the Callback., a mob boss trades his life of crime to educate an associate about auditioning and booking the role. With a sharp tongue and a heart of gold, he dishes out advice that’s equal parts hilarious and heartfelt. Actors will find wisdom in his unconventional methods, learning that every rejection is just a step toward success.

Join him as he navigates the cutthroat industry, revealing that the real crime is giving up on your dreams. This story is a rollercoaster of laughs, tears, and inspiration that will keep you listening. This ain't your mama's acting manual filled with breathing exercises and emotional memory nonsense. This is the real deal—street-smart advice from someone who's been around the block, taken his lumps, and lived to tell about it.

Look, in this business, you got two choices: you can keep dreaming about making it big while waiting tables for the rest of your life, or you can wise up and learn the rules nobody's gonna teach you in acting class. Sometimes you gotta leave the gun, take the cannoli—but you ALWAYS take the callback.
