"Living the Dream Acting...it doesn't matter how old we are, it doesn't matter what we look like, it doesn't matter if we've been in the game a long time or we're just getting into it. None of that stuff needs to hold us back from pursuing, and going after, and successfully creating those dreams for ourselves."

"This time displacement, this movement of time, and situation, and surrounding, creates the 'what if' and it's the 'what if' is the key to the hearing aspects of storytelling. You know when Einstein asked how to create clever children he told them "They must listen to stories." And then they said yeah but how do you make them really clever like you? And he said "tell them to listen to more stories." Because its the 'what if'. You've got to have the eureka. The 'what if' moment comes from the unknown and the new possibility. So you only get that through being told things that you haven't perceived before, that you've got no awareness of."

"And that's like this time period that we're going through. What we're losing, hopefully the perspective that we're gaining, and the humanity and the empathy that we're gaining for people that are in more dyer straights than we are. That have less than we do. That maybe we come out of this understanding humanity a little bit better because we've been through something collective together."

Living the Dream during COVID - 19: In this episode I talk with professional stage actor Scott Coopwood. Scott makes his living full time as an actor and teaching artist, and is known for his expertise in performing and teaching Shakespeare. We discuss unemployment, what returning might look like, staying positive during these difficult times, what he's been doing since the last interview, and what he's looking forward to in the future.
