Run, Don't Walk To Get the Survival Guide that accompanies this very special 2-part episode: https://actorsurvivalguide.com

Your purpose was given to you by something other than yourself → There's LITERALLY no one else on the planet that can do YOU the way that you can.

So, you simply gotta be YOU.

I think you can agree: easier said than done sometimes!

So for this episode of the podcast, I reached out to the crème de la crème of coaches for actors – Moniqua Plante, DaJuan Johnson, Heidi Dean, Emily Grace, Elise Arsenault & Jo Kelly - the über-experts who wholeheartedly devote themselves to your fulfillment & success in this wild career and when I told them about our tentativeness to show up and be seen…

ALLLLLLL SIX OF THEM showed up for a very special Brian Breaks Character Podcast 2-Part Episode: The Actor Survival Guide to 2023… And Volume 3 of this guide was born!

Mindset & self-care give us Main Character Energy throughout the guide, but don't get me wrong, it's FULL of essentials to help you navigate your way through how to

• Put yourself out there on social media
• Pioneer your own path
• BE YOU

This conversation is so juicy we had to break it up into two episodes and this is the first part, so be sure to come back for part two next week.

❤️ Do you have more than one passion?

⚖️ Do you ever feel that you have to choose?

⚡️ Or that if you give energy to one passion you're cheating on the other?

Well, what if I told you one passion could support the other? 🤯

On this episode of the podcast we continue our series devoted to making your big idea real.💡

WE TALK ABOUT ATTRACTING ABUNDANCE BY SAYING YES TO BOTH PASSIONS! 💰x 💰

💵 So, YES, we talk about money…

🙀 Now for my creatives out there. I know we can get really weird around money because we LOVE what we do.

…Oftentimes we can get all itchy and sticky and all of our wicked stepsisters TIME & MONEY come in to say 👉You're not doing it right, you're doing it wrong. Hello, impostor syndrome anybody?? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Take a breath, I gotchu. 💗

Today's episode is going to be of a whole ton of value for you because my guest is actor Gianna Rapp and she started her own coaching business. She helps actors to really be in their authentic space when it comes to understanding technique and how it fits them perfectly.

👆 You can imagine she wants to honor her integrity in this and so all the 🐛creepy crawly critics inside are coming out to rise up to say 👇👇👇

🧟‍♀️ You're not good enough!

🧟‍♂️ How dare you say this to people out loud!

🧟 How can you put that messaging into the world?

Gianna and I talk about the sacredness, great care and consciousness you want to bring to starting a business like this.🦋

So, if you've ever wanted to tap into one of your talents and make a buck 💵 from doing it OR you know you've got some gifts to offer the world where you could make some money then this episode is going to teach you how to start that process.

🎰 BONUS! We even get into social media messaging on this episode. We claim this obstacle and own it as a way to attract more of Gianna's ideal audience.

Oh! And, remember (I've been saying it like a broken record 💿this month) ➡️ The answer to cracking the code to staying committed to your big idea is to know who this is for. So, obvi, Gianna and I get into that right away in this episode.

And… If your ❤️ goes pitter pat when you think about making your vision a reality, spend a year getting coaching from me surrounded by other highly-motivated creatives who make things happen inside the Make it Real mastermind.🧠

This month we're talking all about birthing something big… Saying yes to your calling in a bigger way. 🙌

On this episode of the podcast I talk about the signature process I use to coach and this is specifically the way I will be coaching inside of the mastermind.

I'm sharing all of this on the podcast because I want you to be able to use this process for your big thing, whether it's:

📕Writing a book (like me)

💃Starting a dance studio

🎥Starting a self-tape studio

🎞Launching a film at film festivals

🎭Going big with your one person show

You can make any of these ideas real by following Rule #1: You Have To Be A (Vulnerable) Rebel.

What I mean by this is 👇

🗑Throw out all the ideas of how to do the thing

🙆‍♀️Make space to do the thing in the way that works for you

👓Notice what works about your process

✅Grant permission to do it all the way

Click LINK IN BIO to LISTEN & LEARN how being rebellious will help you. 🎧

And… if your ❤️ goes pitter pat when you think about making your vision a reality, spend a year getting coaching from me surrounded by other highly-motivated creatives who make things happen inside the Make it Real mastermind.🧠

If you still have questions of what the mastermind is all about 👉 Sign up for the Make It Real mastermind Open House this Friday when I'll give you a backstage tour and answer all your questions so we can decide if it's a fit for your big goals ➡️ https://brianbreakscharacter.com/openhouse

Tell me if this sounds familiar…

✅ You've got an idea for a bizniz, a film, or a creative project, but you need support and a strategy to get it off the ground.

✅ Or maybe you've got a big idea, but you're afraid to even say it out loud... cuz what if it doesn't work out... and who are you to try anyway?

Plus if you're anything like me, you show up for other people, but without someone holding you accountable, your own stuff ends up at the bottom of the to-do list.

And let's be honest you don't have any time or money to waste – there aren't enough hours in the day to pursue some wild dream that won't lead to guaranteed results.

Whew! I totes get it! It can feel reeeeeally vulnerable to admit, that YOU'RE MEANT FOR SOMETHING MORE... 🙌

...and nearly IMPOSSIBLE to take action toward some idea that still feels cloudy.

On today's podcast, I gotchu covered. I share my beliefs around what it means to hatch or birth your big idea, to say yes to your purpose and all the different facets of what that means.

You'll learn action steps towards:

• Making your big idea real
• How to see it through
• How to make the impact you want to make

And… If your heart goes pitter pat when you think about making your vision a reality, spend a year getting coaching from me surrounded by other highly-motivated creatives who make things happen inside the Make It Real mastermind.

Today's guests are the epitome of what this podcast is all about: CREATIVE REVOLUTIONARY SUPERSTARS… who are just as hard on themselves as the rest of us!

CJ Baran & Benjamin Romans created the show CAGES – an indescribable "genre-busting game changer" (LA Times) that left audiences in awe at its premiere… MYSELF INCLUDED!

Masterfully weaving state-of-the-art video and animation with live performance and original songs that pulse with an addictive pop energy, CAGES pulls out all the stops to conjure a rock opera musical for the modern age.

These two creative overachievers wrote the story, the music, directed, and choreographed the piece – CJ even played the lead!

And just like any creative expression, the show started as an itty-bitty baby idea that paid off big time when they decided they would never settle for less than the art they want to see. ← not easy when you are creating a dystopian, B&W gothic world in a live, stage performance!

When I invited CJ to the show, he wrote: My entire life has been living in the void between creating art that I believe will move people while also trying to make a living at it. ← perhaps the most Brian Breaks Character thing anyone has ever said!

I couldn't be more delighted to share this episode with you: I just know you'll love hearing from these two fiercely committed, honest, and authentic artists who make FUTURE THEATRE.
