Creative Risk

We all know what it's like to work with sh**ty people, but might WE actually be the sh**ty ones? In this episode the boys talk about collaboration, tackling everything from the importance of defining clear responsibilities to dealing with bad collaborators. They kiki on their own personal experiences working with not great people (a lot of tea, henny) and dish out tips on effective communication, establishing workflow, and knowing when to cut ties. From the dangers of ego to the impact on credibility, they explore the highs and lows of working with "bad" collaborators that can have a major impact on your project and your own artistic existence. So tune in and surround yourself with the right people!

These boys went to one of the best acting conservatories in the world (according to some very "important" industry lists). However, these world-class institutions may not be all they're cracked up to be! In this episode they discuss various topics related to the pros and cons of choosing a conservatory over a liberal arts program, including some memorable school moments, quality of acting training, development of identity and work ethic, and power dynamics. In true chaotic fashion they also have a huge political disagreement about the election and discuss Havana syndrome. Enjoy!

The most searched for word of 2023 was "authenticity" and it makes sense. The boys talk about this elusive yet loaded topic and how the connotations around it can often hinder and stunt an actor's business. It's a spicy episode, full of hot takes, disagreements and stimulating (sexy) conversation

It's Oscar time! And although no one watches this strange and bloated event anymore we thought it'd be fun to give our take on what we believe should win and what we believe will win. You're gonna wanna watch somewhere cool because there are A LOT of hot takes in this one: from the boys take on Kengate, the overhype of Lily Gladstone and the problem with artsy fartsy foreign movies.

Dive deep with the boys in this thought-provoking episode. As the traditional Hollywood landscape devolves into a hellscape, they advocate for fixating  not on your headshots or mediocre representation, but of a direct connection with your fanbase. In addition to dissecting this very powerful asset, they contemplate the prospect of homeownership with Mike (keep a puke bucket handy!), reflect on whether they are toxic arguers (spoiler alert: they are), and even talk about everyone's favorite buzzword: TRAUMA! This conversation taps into a topic many are undoubtedly thinking about but may not have explored in depth. Don't miss out on this enlightening episode.

In this latest episode, the boys have on casting director Amanda Lenker-Doyle (Black-ish, Fuller House) who is *also* a producer and metalsmith. She has a unique perspective and gets real about the current state of the industry—from the highs and lows of her own career, to the rarely spoken of lack of job security casting is facing as well as what a post-strike / post-pandemic future looks like for all of us. We break down the idea of getting paid to audition (SPOILER ALERT: Mike and Joshua think it’s a bad move!) and, most importantly, the need for some serious creativity in the ever-changing industry. So, put on your big-girl pants and get ready for some real talk about the hustle, the challenges, and the rewards of art-making today.

In the final episode of 2023, Joshua and Mike delve into where an actor’s journey really needs to begin: goal setting. Surprisingly, many actors neglect setting goals for the future so the boys passionately make the case for the significance of goal-setting and share insights on how to make 2024 the year you elevate your creative business. More specifically, how to review this past year in order to sharpen and build on your goals for the year ahead. Tune in as they explore common limiting beliefs that often hinder the establishment of clear and specific goals, guiding you through the process of recognizing when to adapt and when to reset your goals, and providing you with a handy checklist for conducting a thorough inventory of 2023. You’ll also apparently be schooled on why gays like musical theater and get a special rendition of Auld Lang Syne by Mike.

Don't miss out on this insightful episode that's packed with practical tips to help you overcome obstacles, set meaningful goals, and make 2024 your most successful year yet!

HO HO HO! In this special holiday episode Mike and Joshua get out of the transactional nature of networking and discuss the value of "community cultivation." We all know the importance of relationships and yet cultivating those relationships can still feel elusive at times (maybe a bit slimy?) However, the holidays are one of the best and most effective times to make GENUINE connections. And it doesn't have to cost you an arm and a leg! Cozy up with Artist's Strategy as we explore the power of cultivating during the holidays and the many strategies to consider during this time. Consider this your present under the tree of your career....does that metaphor work??? Basically, it's a gift from two fat guys who aren't Santa. Enjoy!
