Buckle up everyone! This week’s guest is one of the most mentioned people on the podcast and one of the most influential people in my creative life! Gary Imhoff was my acting teacher for many years, but he is much much more than an acting teacher, and in this episode we dig into much much more than performing! We talk about willingness and winning, technique and teaching, and yes, we also talk about what makes people attractive. This episode is all about finding whatever works for you and working in a way that frees you into your own natural and unique artistry.  

Here’s what you’ll learn.

Today I am talking to the Legendary Popin’ Pete, and you can hear my ear to ear smile in my voice! In addition to being dance history royalty, Pete is one of my favorite dancers, teachers, and straight talkers.  He is the first person I turn to when I am looking for a pointed perspective… That’s probably dramatically different from my own. So, if you want to have your mind blown, or if you’ve ever used the word POP in a sentence, or if you’re interested in having a 40+ year career doing something that you love, then this episode is for you!

I’m super lucky (and grateful) that the worst part of having Covid (for me) was emotional pain. In this episode, I dig into the difference between painful sensations (like a cough) and painful emotions (like guilt), and why it is so important to experience them both.  This distinction is so important for physical performers in high stakes circumstances like dancers and choreographers.

Let’s say this episode is a grocery store…  It has one of a kind quirky goodies with a focus on affordability like Trader Joes, it’s ALL organic like Whole Foods, it’s direct from the source like a Farmers Market, and it is HIGH FREAKN QUALITY like Erewhon (which ironically gets a shout out today).  The only difference is that this episode is FREE… but it really is a one stop shop. This episode has everything that might be on your list for self improvement and career navigation INCLUDING 

-my future self technique

– The difference between finding the silver lining and toxic positivity

– Thoughts on gratitude and being a team player while climbing the crew list ladder

– Navigating your offers to work for free 

– Using a Money Diary to save and spending intentionally
