Phill And Ryan " Attempt A Podcast‪"‬ Phill and Ryan

We’re two friends chasing the dream of becoming actors and performers, while talking with others who are living the dream… Our guests this episode are Ian Azzaretti and Phil Blevins, the hosts of the “Get Rolling Show”. We had a great conversation about what inspired them to become actors; the value of preparation and discipline; Phil’s early days in NYC as an actor, having early success earning a leading role in a movie; and Ian’s goal of acting in order to inspire and have a profound impact on people. They give us great advice on the power of consistency, and fully committing to something you believe in! So let’s get into it, we really hope you enjoy! For all thing’s entertainment - check out the @getrollingshow on all social media platforms.

We’re back and we’ve decided to take this in a new direction. Our passion for acting and performing sparked this new adventure for us. Now we want to keep learning and talking with people who have done it or are currently in the field of acting, performing, and film.  So moving forward each guest will be centered around this concept.

Our guest in this episode is Melissa Bowler.  She is the co-founder of Providence Improv Guild (PIG for short), a training center and comedy venue that focuses on giving performers an open stage, teaching improv and sketch comedy classes and workshops. She also travels across the country with her workshop “Connecting Through Comedy”, which trains professionals in teamwork, open communication, and creative problem-solving.

In our episode, we talk about how she got her start in improv, how it helped her in other areas of comedy (standup, sketch writing). How faking confidence is key, and how bad shows and performances are part of the growth. Simulation acting, medical simulations, and how that has broadened her spectrum of acting. And the advice she offered us to continue our passion.

So we hope you enjoy this episode, and without further a due her she is Melissa Bowler…

Our guest this episode is Julia Waicberg.  She lives in New York City working as a Junior Copywriter at an advertising agency called Johannes Leonardo. 

We talk about how she got started in advertising. The positive affect her mentors have had on her career. Her relentless pursuit to work in advertising in New York City. The joy that comes from sharing personal stories. And how she used her perceived weakness into her superpower.  

We hope you enjoy this conversation with the very talented, Julia Waicberg….

"In Part 2 of our conversation with Michael Dubuc, we talk about how he uses Instagram to inspire. His views on nutrition, and what a typical day of eating looks like for him. Also, how living in gratitude has changed his outlook on everything, and what his plans are for future content. We do our first segment on the podcast and also have our first fan question!"

Our guest this episode is Michael Dubuc.  Now when I asked him to provide a quick intro describing himself and his experiences, he sent this back to me. “Michael Dubuc. Father, Husband, Entertainer, Nutritional Mixologist and most importantly energetic electrician. Always trying to put the lights on for the world each day” Just a small taste of what you can expect for this episode, and you’ll quickly hear how amazing of a storyteller he is.

We talk about what made him want to become an actor, his experiences on major Hollywood movie sets. His decision to move to LA, and why the deletion of the thought, “there’s no way, not me” allowed him so many incredible opportunities and experiences.  The man is truly trying to change the game.

There’s so much good stuff here that we decided to break it up into part 1 and part 2.

So, we hope you enjoy part 1 of our entertaining conversation with Michael Dubuc…

Our guest this episode is Matt Streich. Matt is currently an Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach at
Ponoma-Pitzer Colleges in Claremont California. Prior to that he spent two seasons as an
Assistant Coach and Recruiting Coordinator at Nichols College. He also spent 3 seasons as an
Assistant Coach at Emmanuel College.
He graduated from Ithaca College in 2011 where he played Baseball for three seasons and was
a three-time All-Conference selection. After graduating he played four seasons of minor league
baseball both domestically and overseas in Sweden and Australia from 2011-2014.
And finally, he is the host of his own podcast called The Coaches Classroom.
Obviously, an impressive resume, but all that aside we are very lucky to call Matt a friend. I
think those you who know Matt will get to know him even better. I know Phil and I did. We talk
about lot of topics from how he decided to start his podcast, his experiences playing baseball
overseas, his interest and daily practices with mindfulness, how he balances the responsibility
of being a coach, and why he vowed to himself to always do what he loves and what makes him
happy.
We hope you enjoy this inspiring and insightful conversation, so without further a due, here he
is, Matt Streich….
