  • 13249: How Hard Can This Be?
    Sep 16 2025

    Hey there, hero!

    Ever notice how some people look at acting, voice over or writing and think it’s a snap…

    …and not that hard to do?

    I had an aunt that would make snide comments like “Oh, I could do that. Who would think that’s so difficult?”

    She would say that phrase to make others feel small. And, likely, to try and make herself feel better about herself…and her life choices.

    In this episode, we’re going to look at just how hard being an artist can be…

    …and how the best at their craft make it LOOK easy.

    You deserve credit for how hard it really is, and how easy you make it look.

    So how do you react when you hear someone, who has no idea what they are talking about. say how easy what you do is? Let me know in the comments below.

  • 13248: The One Car You Cannot Learn To Drive In
    Sep 9 2025

    Hey there, hero!

    To get from here to there, to move forward (or even, sometimes, backwards), we need to be in a state of motion.

    Not standing still, but rather moving toward our goal.

    That sometimes takes bravery.

    Like when you were first behind the wheel in driver’s ed class (for those of you who grew up in NYC, you’re excused - we’ll see you next time). Pure terror.

    But you got moving. And that’s what you need to do to “figure it out as you go,” as opposed to the perceived safety of not moving at all.

    Are you willing to let go of the “safety” of staying perfectly still? Do you just start moving when you need to get something done? Let me know in the comments below.

    Sep 2 2025

    Hey there, hero!

    The Broadway actor André De Shields has quietly made a stunning career out of performing on one of the most exclusive sets of stages in the world, and although he’s a Emmy-, Grammy- and Tony-award winning actor, he’s not a household name…

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/André_De_Shields

    …but De Shields’ recently-publicized three rules of life ought be memorized and put to use by everyone.

    Who knows? They might make the world a whole lot better of a place to be.

    After you hear them, take a moment and let me know what you think about them in the comments below.
