October 23, 2020 From Homeless to Hollywood Trainer, Stunt Performer and Actor: Aaron Williamson
You may be familiar with Hollywood stars such as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, J.K. Simmons, James Marsden, Sylvester Stallone and Zac Efron, but you may not know the trainer that helped them build their incredible physiques, Aaron Williamson. Aaron went from Marine Corps, to being a celebrity trainer, to stunt man and now actor. But his path was far from smooth, he spent time living out of his car and overdosed at only 12 years old. He then transitioned to a personal trainer and after a chance encounter ended up working with Zac Efron for his role in "The Lucky One". Now he's moved on to being a stunt performer working on films such as The Purge, Birds of Prey, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, to name a few...and now he’s beginning a new journey into the craft of acting.

October 19, 2020 Is Time on Your Side?
If you had all the time in the world, how would you spend it? If you, like most people, feel like you don't have enough time to do the things you want to do is it because you're not guarding yourself enough from the inevitable distractions of life? Clarity of purpose and knowing that we are doing what needs to be done can alleviate a lot of guilt and anxiety about time. But it's easier said than done.

October 16, 2020 Song Exploder Mastermind Hrishikesh Hirway, on Being Disciplined, All The Way to the Top (Part II)
Hrishikesh Hirway is a humble high achiever. He has just released his first Netflix Mini-series, Song Exploder, based on his wildly popular podcast of the same name. On it, he talks to musicians like Alicia Keys, R.E.M., Hamilton creator and star Lin-Manuel Miranda and Ty Dollar Sign. To say that it is huge, is an understatement. I met Hrishikesh when I was a guest on his other GIANT podcast that he co-created and co-hosted with my former cast mate from The West Wing and Scandal, Josh Malina – that podcast is The West Wing Weekly, yet another zeitgeist podcast. Originally, though, Hrishikesh moved to L.A. to record music and score films, so... as wildly successful as he is now, for a long time he still identified himself as a struggling, or failed, musician. His humility, combined with laser focus and attention to detail is perhaps what inspired me the most.

October 12, 2020 Success, It's Got to Cost You Something
Everyone wishes they could just “get there” right now. But whether it’s finding the nuances of a character you’re playing, being a better parent or being at the top of your field, if it doesn’t cost you anything (time, effort, sacrifice, etc.) the chances are that it won’t be worth much.

October 05, 2020 The Power of Encouragement
Do you look at life as a zero sum game where your victories are dependent on other people failing? In this excerpt from Matt's contribution to Christopher J. Wirth's COVID-era online forum, We Rise By Lifting Others Up, Matt talks about the power of encouragement and how helping others ends up helping you just as much if your heart is in the right place.

September 28, 2020 There Will Always Be Dog Hair to Dust and Dishes to Clean
Are there aspects of your profession, or your life, that you find yourself having to deal with every day? Of course there are, but that doesn't mean you have to complain about them. They are the proverbial dog hair dusting that's necessary if you want to enjoy your dog (that's not hypoallergenic) and they will bug you a lot less if you accept them as "part of the gig". People think acting is glamorous, and it can be, but being told "No" is part of the gig, and unless you can accept that as a very real portion of "following your dream", you're going to be miserable every day. It's not the obstacle... it's how we view the obstacle that determines if it is, in fact, an obstacle after all. And, PS. If you want to eat... you're going to have to clean the dishes (or do well enough that you have staff that takes care of them for you).

September 25, 2020 Emmy Award Winner Tom Skerritt, You Can Do It, Ya Just Gotta Keep Moving
I'm super psyched about this week's guest, none other than Emmy Award Winner Tom Skerritt. You might know him from his iconic roles in Top Gun, The River Runs Through It, Alien, M*A*S*H*, and Picket Fences. We chat about his humble beginnings in Detroit, to his first films with none other than Robert Redford, Sydney Pollack and Robert Altman.

Tom's love for art and creativity have lead him to start the company Triple Squirrels and the EVRGRN channel, focusing on sharing stories that bring us inspiration, light and hope. This conversation is one that all young actors can learn from, about how to approach their art and how to keep a positive attitude in such an up and down career, as Tom says "just keep movin' kid, just keep movin'...."
