acting like an actor

this week we have actor, writer and business owner Kasey Esser. he is known for his work on series such as “Fated to my Forbidden Alpha,” “Goodbye My CEO,” “Flash Vows” and many more. Kasey was labeled as the genres “breakout star” by the Rolling Stone.

our first guest @ashleymichellegrant is an actress from arizona who has been taking the industry by storm with her work on the vertical web series. these shows have done everything from had her do an Australian accent, to taking her to China, and to making her imdb star meter so low she’s in the ranks with some of your favorite netflix and HBO stars. Ashley is known for her grounded performances and even more grounded personality ;)
we chat about how everyone’s path in the industry is different and how you can make your own, how Ashley booked her first vertical and how you can too, and how at the end of the day nothing really matters except your soul (oh yes, we went there.)
