    Interview with Jackie Thornhill and Bridget Sampson

    Bridget is the Founder and CEO of Sampson Coaching & Consulting where she offers leadership training and coaching programs for Fortune 500 companies. As a TEDx Speaker and an Emeritus Professor of Communication Studies at California State University, Northridge, Bridget has shared her expertise on public speaking, interpersonal communication, organizational communication, and intercultural communication for over 25 years.  Bridget is a professional coach certified by the International Coaching Federation and The Life Coach School, as well as a recipient of the Don Dorsey Excellence in Mentoring Award. And if that wasn’t enough, she also just launched her own podcast (which I really enjoy) called The Right Questions. Jackie currently serves as an Administrative Aide for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. She formerly worked as a Campaign Manager, Communications Director, and Congressional Campaign Field Organizer. A proud LBGTQIA+ advocate, Jackie serves as Vice President of Events and Fundraising for The Harvey Milk LGBTQ Democratic Club in San Francisco. Jackie is also the recipient of the Certificate of Honor for Transgender Leadership, presented by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.  Jackie received her Bachelor of Arts in Politics and Philosophy from The University of San Francisco where she graduated Magna Cum Laude. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that in her spare time, Jackie is an amazing writer and you can follow her writing at https://jackiethornhill.medium.com/. Impressive bio’s aside, this conversation was really inspiring. More than anything it is about family. It’s about being your authentic self, even when that might be as contrarian as humanly possible. It’s about mistakes, forgiveness, understanding, compassion, empathy, and love. Bridget’s and Jackie’s journey together during Jackie’s transition has had its ups and downs, but the love for each other, the understanding, and acceptance is a beautiful example of how we can and should show up for each other. It’s an example of what real acceptance looks like and it is also a shining example of what true transition means. And I mean transition for both of them. Jackie’s transition may be the more prominent one here, but make no mistake about it, Bridget’s transformation during this journey has been profound. Their shared experience was so powerful and transforming that they decided to launch a new school to help families and the community. You can visit transgenderschool.org for more information. The website is full of resources, courses, and community, and it’s just getting started.

    Episode 20: Interview With Mark Gantt

    Mark is best known for co-creating, writing, producing, and starring in Crackle’s groundbreaking, Streamy award-winning series, The Bannen Way. Mark, a twenty-five-year film and TV veteran, is a multi-hyphenate who learned the business from the ground up and has had the good fortune of collaborating with many top directors, including Steven Soderbergh, David O. Russell, Sam Raimi, and Robert Rodriguez. Mark’s onscreen credits include Criminal Minds, American Horror Story: Hotel, Ocean’s Eleven, Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, and Dexter, and the list goes on. Mark is not only an award-winning actor, but he’s a writer, director, producer, editor, photographer, and consultant. About Thirteen years ago, Mark was frustrated with his career. He was working hard in acting class weekly, had the right headshot, a decent reel, a reliable agent, and yet couldn’t get an audition to save his life. He hadn’t quite figured out how the business worked. Mark had a transformative moment when he decided to stop waiting for someone to discover him and he became the CEO of his own life and began to create his own destiny. It was a two-year process that culminated in the creation of The Bannen Way, which was the first million-dollar web series that became an industry standard for web series/feature films. Mark is a husband, father, and a creative force. He lives life by his own rules, but he is thoughtful, curious and one of the most profoundly productive people I have ever met. He isn’t just productive for productive sake - he has literally designed his life, thought deeply about what he wants, how he wants to create, and show up. He is the absolute definition of definitive action. Mark is someone that works hard but takes the time to appreciate what he has. His life mantra is about taking risks, practicing patience and gratitude, and being what he calls “Perfectly Imperfect.” This was another fun podcast and we discuss a wide range of topics from Mark’s sobriety at a very young age, to his breaking into the business as a grip, and his willingness to take risks and work outside of his comfort zone to help create the life he dreamed of. We had a lot of technical glitches in this episode as the internet literally dropped the call about every 10-15 minutes and I am embarrassed to say that I did not have a backup plan for that. You can bet that I will in the future. Mark is such a professional that we were mostly able to continue on without losing a beat and that says so much about Mark that despite the glitches, really didn’t lose any momentum during this conversation. We mention a couple of times my being a guest on his wife’s podcast, but that didn’t end up happening. The podcast is called “Secret Life Podcast,” by Brianne Davis-Gantt, who is also a creative powerhouse herself and I highly recommend checking it out. Brianne had so much success with the launch of her podcast that they have literally been overwhelmed with guests and have hundreds of recordings in the first few months of launching. You can listen to Brianne’s podcast wherever you listen to podcasts and I do hope you enjoy - Mark is of course helping in the creative process of that podcast as well. You can find out more about Mark on his website markgantt.com and check out the Bannen Way on Crackle.com Without further delay, please enjoy this wide-ranging conversation with Mark Gantt.
