Adrianne Haslet wasn't a runner on April 15, 2013 when a terrorist bomb detonated at the Boston Marathon.  Almost dying and losing a leg because she just happened to be near the finish line "wondering what all the cheering was about", the 3rd ranked ballroom dancer in the world was no longer able to dance professionally.  She shocked herself when she told Anderson Cooper on Live TV that she'd not only dance again, but take up running and finish the Boston Marathon.  Now she's changing history.    Show Notes are Available on our Website   GUEST LINKS:    Personal Website: More on Adrianne    Instagram: @AdrianneHaslet    Twitter: @AdrianneHaslet    Boston Globe: Six Podcast Picks for Body, Mind, and Spirit    Video: The Schwartz Center - Adrianne Haslet Davis: From Tragedy Came Compassion      PODCAST EQUIPMENT WE USE: Microphone Manfrotto Tripod Rode Microphone Stand Beats by Dre Headphones Focusrite Charlotte 2i2 USB Audio Interface      SPECIAL OFFER FOR MANDY.COM:    Mandy.com is the #1 Job Site for Actors, Crew & Creative Professionals in the World -- 10,000 "No"s listeners are being offered 2 FREE MONTHS of PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP to Mandy.com    Join now to get an exclusive offer for 10,000 "No"s Listeners: 10,000 "No"s Limited Time Podcast Partnership with Mandy.com    Premium Members have the ability to:    -apply to hundreds of jobs in film, TV and theatre -- Mandy features tons of jobs from Off-Broadway to Netflix to indie film to commercials and more!  -access Mandy's agency database and contact agents who are currently looking to expand their rosters  -utilize Mandy's resource list of headshot photographers, service providers, classes and more - many of which offer Mandy members special discounts  -networking events and more!       If you like what you hear, please Subscribe, leave an iTunes review, and spread the word.  Hosted on Acast.

"I really just decided with this one that it was going to happen... if I had to shoot it on my iPhone that's what we were gonna do.” - Shane Atkinson   TODAY'S EPISODE OF 10,000 NOs Podcast is pulled from one of the 10,000 NOs Insiders Community’s monthly VIP Industry Guest Zooms, where we bring industry winners in to help our members navigate their acting careers. Perhaps the biggest inspiration and takeaway came from Shane's message to our members: don’t wait for someone else to come in and promise you the world in terms of budgets and big names… if you have a story you want to tell, find the producers that are most passionate about making the best version of it and make it now! Shane Atkinson received his M.F.A. in screenwriting and directing from Columbia University.  His short films have received more than 100 awards internationally. His writing credits include Poms starring Diane Keaton and his directorial debut LaRoy, Texas just came out in select theaters and VOD on April 12, 2024 after premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2023, sweeping the top awards (Grand Special Prize, Critics’ Award, Audience Award) at Deauville American Film Festival 2023 and garnering a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes after 33 reviews. 10,000 NOs podcast is now in it’s 2.0 phase: after a long pause from late 2021 to late 2023, it has returned in a more raw format: shorter episodes, like the Monday Morsels of yesteryear (they may be short, solo riffs by Matt on central themes of the pod, excerpts from Matt’s 10,000 NOs Insiders Community Zooms, or excerpts from Insiders VIP sessions with VIPs from the entertainment interview and beyond). Be on the look out as, every now and then, we will likely drop some old school, long-form, classic 10,000 NOs interviews as bonus episodes.  Prefer to WATCH (versus listen)? SUBSCRIBE to 10,000 NOs YouTube Channel HERE The intent of this podcast is to remind people that they are not alone in their struggles. We aim to educate & inspire you with stories and conversations with others who have traveled a path that may look enviable now, but it was not always that way.  It is not the critic who counts. If you’ve been knocked down... get up, dust yourself off, and get back in the arena. If you want to give back, share this with someone who could use it and leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen, so more people find this show and benefit from these conversations.

Shane Atkinson (Writer/Director, LaRoy, Texas): Make That Movie Now!

In TODAY'S EPISODE OF 10,000 NOs Podcast , a solo riff, I talk about the social experiment known as The Metro Experiment, where world class violinist Joshua Bell was observed playing his $3.5 million dollar Stradivarius in disguise on a subway platform, wearing a hoody as commuters waited for their train. The results were astounding. And they shine a light on artists who have been devaluing themselves, or giving up, because gatekeepers (those who have the power to move said artists' careers forward) haven't recognized their talents... yet.  I talk about past guest Terry Winter's crazy journey to the top of Hollywood, as well as Taylor Sheridan's meteoric rise in Hollywood, pointing out that had they listened to the gatekeepers early on in their careers, we wouldn't have such films and shows as The Wolf of Wall Street, Wind River, Boardwalk Empire, Yellowstone, Tulsa King and many, many more. Don't Let the Gatekeepers Stop You! 10,000 NOs podcast is now in it’s 2.0 phase: after a long pause from late 2021 to late 2023, it has returned in a more raw format: shorter episodes, like the Monday Morsels of yesteryear (they may be short, solo riffs by Matt on central themes of the pod, excerpts from Matt’s 10,000 NOs Insiders Community Zooms, or excerpts from Insiders VIP sessions with VIPs from the entertainment interview and beyond).

Stop Letting Gatekeepers Determine Your Value!

Kellie Roy has racked up over 100 casting credits over the past two decades in Hollywood, from tiny indies to huge blockbusters like the Aquaman franchise and massively successful Box Office champions like the Insidious installments, The Conjuring, Furious 7, XXX and many more.  When she sat down with the members of our 10,000 NOs Insiders Community, she shared helpful hints with our actors about the casting director's desire to help them win the job. Kellie helped yours truly win my part in the upcoming Laroy, Texas (in select theaters and streaming on demand April 12th). We discuss the different opportunities for actors when auditioning for blockbusters versus indies, how actors can collaborate with casting directors to give themselves the best shot at winning a role, and much more. 10,000 NOs podcast is now in it’s 2.0 phase: after a long pause from late 2021 to late 2023, it has returned in a more raw format: shorter episodes, like the Monday Morsels of yesteryear (they may be short, solo riffs by Matt on central themes of the pod, excerpts from Matt’s 10,000 NOs Insiders Community Zooms, or excerpts from Insiders VIP sessions with VIPs from the entertainment interview and beyond).

Casting Director Kellie Roy: We Want to Help You (Actors)!

Terry Knickerbocker has coached elite actors like Daniel Craig, Michelle Williams and Sam Rockwell. He's coached actors on performances that have won an Academy Award, Golden Globe Awards and Screen Actors Guild Awards. That's how he became dubbed "New York's Top Acting Coach".  But in Today's Episode of 10,000 NOs Podcast, Terry returns (he was on the pod before the pandemic) to speak to the members of our 10,000 NOs Insiders Community and dispel the myth of the elite. He believes that the main distinction between our elite class of actors and the rest of the pack lies in their attention to the work and building a foundation of technique and approach. Many anecdotes of his collaboration with famous actors are dropped but the bottom line is that training is essential if we expect to create the confidence necessary to deliver consistent performances on par with the best of the best. 10,000 NOs podcast is now in it’s 2.0 phase: after a long pause from late 2021 to late 2023, it has returned in a more raw format: shorter episodes, like the Monday Morsels of yesteryear (they may be short, solo riffs by Matt on central themes of the pod, excerpts from Matt’s 10,000 NOs Insiders Community Zooms, or excerpts from Insiders VIP sessions with VIPs from the entertainment interview and beyond).

Terry Knickerbocker (New York's Top Acting Coach): Build a Foundation

St. Patrick's Day brings the phrase "The Luck of the Irish" out more than the rest of the year. So today's episode dives into the history of that phrase as an excuse to discuss a central theme of this podcast and a philosophy of almost every guest we've been lucky enough to have on it: Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.  Choosing purpose over comfort, looking forward to goals and then reverse-engineering the path to them, and making sacrifices on a daily basis are all ingredients in the preparation that will lead you to the results you desire. And you can rest assured knowing that once you attain them, no matter how hard you worked for them, a good portion of people around you, near and far, will say you got lucky. And, full disclosure, you did... luck is an ingredient in success. But your preparation set you up to be in a position to get "lucky".10,000 NOs podcast is now in it’s 2.0 phase: after a long pause from late 2021 to late 2023, it has returned in a more raw format: shorter episodes, like the Monday Morsels of yesteryear (they may be short, solo riffs by Matt on central themes of the pod, excerpts from Matt’s 10,000 NOs Insiders Community Zooms, or excerpts from Insiders VIP sessions with VIPs from the entertainment interview and beyond).
