This podcast dives into the unfiltered grind of chasing a dream in acting and the creative world. Instead of polished stories from those who’ve already ‘made it,’ you’ll hear the raw, funny, and heartfelt perspective of guests and myself still in the hustle — pushing, learning, and carving out a place in the film industry. It’s about navigating the struggle in real time. If you’re a creative chasing your dreams, this is your space to feel seen.
