Dreams have a peculiar way of shaping our paths, sometimes leading us across oceans and borders. For Costa Rican-born actress Elisa Lucia, a childhood fascination with Hollywood transformed into a life-changing journey that brought her to the very streets she once only visited as a tourist.

Elisa's story begins with movie nights led by her mother, who instilled in her a deep appreciation for cinema and performance. When given the chance to choose a destination for her quinceañera celebration, she immediately selected Los Angeles – a city she'd never visited but somehow knew was where she belonged. That first trip confirmed her intuition, leaving her in tears when it was time to return home. "I felt such a belonging in a way," she shares, describing the powerful connection that would eventually pull her back to pursue acting professionally.

The path hasn't been smooth. Elisa candidly discusses the challenges of building a career as an international artist in Hollywood – from the comfort of having her sister blaze the trail before her to the complex, expensive process of securing an artist visa. "It's a really tough process," she explains, detailing the requirements for press coverage, recommendation letters, and proof of future work – all while paying substantial legal fees. These hurdles came alongside the typical struggles of the entertainment industry, further complicated by recent writers' and actors' strikes.

Yet through persistence and passion, Elisa has carved out her place. She's produced theater shows at the Hollywood Fringe Festival, created a solo performance about pioneering journalist Nellie Bly, and now celebrates having her work featured at the iconic Chinese Theatre – a full-circle moment for someone who once visited as a starstruck teenager. When asked how she maintains her mental health through it all, her answer is beautifully simple: connect with loved ones, surround yourself with supportive peers, and remember that "the only voice that matters is the one inside your head." Ready to be inspired? Listen now to hear how one woman's determination turned a childhood dream into Hollywood reality.

What would you sacrifice for the animals you love? Drew Glick's journey from self-described "asshole" to compassionate human forms the emotional core of his tearjerker memoir, "The Wheelhouse." This raw conversation delves into the profound bond Drew formed with his two dogs—Sasha, a petite American boxer with a devilish spirit, and Gabbie, a gentle golden retriever who faced a devastating cancer diagnosis.

Drew never intended to become an author. The book began as therapy, a way to process the intense experiences of caring for his beloved companions through incredible challenges. When Gabbie was diagnosed with osteosarcoma (bone cancer) just six months after joining his family, Drew made decisions that many wouldn't understand—sacrificing his career, savings, and relationships to save her life. Through this struggle, he discovered something transformative: "It wasn't so much me doing anything for them, it was them doing it for me."

The conversation explores profound questions about the nature of compassion, love, and purpose. Drew reflects on how his dogs taught him to love authentically; beyond the superficial ways humans often express it. His story challenges us to consider our connections to all living beings and reminds us that sometimes our greatest struggles become our greatest teachers. As Drew beautifully puts it, "Not all good things are good, and not all bad things are bad." This perspective allowed him to see Gabbie's cancer not as a tragedy but as something that ultimately made her embrace life more fully—a lesson he carries with him today.

Drew's story continues in his upcoming book, "The Wheelhouse: The Last Day." His ultimate hope is that readers will connect with Sasha and Gabbie's journey and perhaps reflect on their own lives and relationships. Through their story, we're reminded that sometimes the most profound life lessons come from unexpected sources, teaching us to be better humans in the process.

Every filmmaker's journey begins somewhere unexpected. For Kevin McGill, it started with an 8mm reel, a quarter entry fee, and neighborhood kids gathering to watch homemade movies. This episode uncovers the fascinating evolution of a true media maverick whose path wound through New York Film Academy, Tisch School of the Arts, and ultimately the gritty world of guerrilla filmmaking.

Kevin's storytelling takes us from childhood entrepreneurship—where he and his brother transformed their home into a neighborhood cinema complete with popcorn and red Kool-Aid—to professional film sets where authenticity reigned supreme. With raw honesty and plenty of humor, he recounts lying in freezing garbage for hours during winter shoots, pulling guns for scripted scenes that felt all too real, and creating films so compelling that locals still ask about them years later.

The conversation reveals the unique filmmaking philosophy that Kevin and host Drew developed: having actors essentially play heightened versions of themselves, bringing their real-life experiences to fictionalized scenarios. "Everybody brought their A-game of our own lives and putting it into film," Kevin explains, highlighting how this approach created an authenticity that conventional productions often lack. We also get glimpses into Kevin's connections to hip-hop history through his work with DMX's original DJ and the challenges of releasing archival footage.

Beyond the entertaining anecdotes lies a powerful message about pursuing passion over paychecks. Kevin's current ventures—from his "Off the Deep End" podcast to his thriving videography business capturing everything from parades to Sweet 16s—demonstrate his commitment to creating a career rather than holding a job. As he puts it: "Journey of the broke" versus waking up loving what you do. Visit kevstervision.com to explore Kevin's diverse portfolio and connect with this multifaceted creative whose stories behind the camera prove just as compelling as those he captures through his lens.

What happens when you strip away society's rulebook and start living authentically? Sara Quiriconi joins Outlaw Wisdom to reveal her fascinating journey from corporate checkbox-checker to actor, writer, and entrepreneur.

"I started to check those boxes off and realized how lost I was from who I really am," Sara shares, describing the moment she recognized she was living someone else's definition of success. This awakening led her to unravel the carefully constructed façade and embark on a path of self-discovery that transformed her career and personal life.

Sara's insights on acting are particularly valuable for anyone considering the profession. She emphasizes self-knowledge as the foundation for success: "Know who you are the best you can. The better you know yourself, the better you can make wiser decisions and choices." This wisdom extends beyond acting to universal truths about authentic living and personal growth.

The conversation takes a powerful turn when Sara discusses her book "Living Cancer Free," which explores the various "cancers" that can affect our lives—toxic thoughts, destructive relationships, soul-crushing jobs, and harmful lifestyles. "These things can have death knocking at our door long before we actually ever take our last breath," she explains. Her message emphasizes not just awareness of these negative influences, but the courage required to make meaningful changes.

Throughout the episode, Sara shares practical advice on navigating the entertainment industry, including why newcomers shouldn't rush to join the Screen Actors Guild, how to handle rejection, and the importance of viewing yourself as both the product and CEO of your personal brand. Her current work on multiple film projects demonstrates her commitment to storytelling and inspiring others.

Sara leaves listeners with a powerful call to action: "If there's something calling you, something from your intuition, do not ever silence that. Listen greater and follow it, because it's not going to go away." Listen now and discover how breaking free from society's expectations might be your first step toward living authentically.
