Corpartainment

Have a great idea, or dream that keeps you up at night?

Here’s your sign (or episode) to start with the first small step.

We sit with videoagrapher and photographer Richard Colachagua, founder of Sixth Sense Visuals. He has also helped to film the brand image for celebrities such as Jessie Woo and Jacquees.

Together we talk about overcoming the fear of just starting, and avoiding the need to compare your results with others.

In the first steps, its best to focus on the early lessons that you can grow from.

If you’re just getting started in your creative journey, set expectations that you will make a certain amount of makes. Allow yourself the space to make those mistakes, without judgement. As Richard learned, “Don’t forget to make your crappy movies”.

If you're looking to start professionally acting in your late 20s or even late 30's this episode is for you!

Saskia Baur left her six-figure corporate job for a more flexible role in order to pursue professional acting. She discovered that it’s never too late to start.

In this episode, we talk about mentally reframing “failure”, how having a 9-5 job releases pressure in an audition, and transforming life experiences into character on set.

We listen as she shares insight of what it took to become a professional actress in the past, and how now we can bypass many of those challenges remotely, from the comfort of our homes.

Favorite quotes:

“When you go into the audition room, your only job is to show them what you can do. The rest is not up to you”

“You have to be willing of service to give and not about all the get.”

Paralegal and Investigative Assistant Reg Clay is the creator and co-host of The Yay podcast, where he interviews other Bay Area theatre actors about life in the theatre.

In this episode, we learn how the stability of his day job allowed him to grow as a professional theatre actor with more than 15 years of experience. We talk about balancing time commitments with a day job, the theatre industry shift to zoom auditions, and how to use best practices from your 9-5 in your creative work.

Corpartainment is a combination of corporate and entertainment. I’ve never heard of this combination before so I thought I’d create a podcast on the idea of strategically working a 9-5 job for the purpose of reinvesting back into one’s creative passions.

The responsible way to chase after your dreams.
