Origin Story

Living the Dream Acting started as a personal blog and eventually grew from there.

I was struggling on my journey as an actor. "Life" seemed to keep getting in the way. I thought I had to choose between career and family, money and passion, and I believed I was alone. I thought, if I could just share my journey, share my struggle, I might be able to sort through the noise and mental clutter, stay inspired, and inspire others in the process. I wanted to have conversations with people in the industry. People I knew, people I used to know, people I just met, people I wanted to meet. 
The podcast came from this desire.

I wanted to know how they had achieved their successes, what kept them inspired, and what kept them from giving up. Instead of just calling them up and asking if I could pick their brain and sort through their journey, I wanted to give them something in return. This was especially helpful if it was someone I didn't know well...or at all. I wanted to offer a platform where they could share their story and even self-promote, but the story - the heart of it all - is what really matters to me. I knew that if I needed inspiration, so did others. So I wanted these stories to be shared, to be out in the world, so that I and others would KNOW we are not alone. 

In the end, I see the podcast as an act of service. There are other similar podcasts out there and I encourage you to check them out. My favorite, and a great source of personal inspiration is InsideActing Podcast with Trevor Algatt and AJ Meijer. The podcast ran for 8 years and concluded in 2018, but the content is still out there and packed full of inspiration and great information. 

​Living the Dream Acting is my gift to myself and to you. Take what you need and leave the rest. My hope is that you are better for it.
