High School Not So Much a Musical

How much would you pay to get a glimpse into your favorite child actor’s journey? Well, this special episode of High School Not So Much a Musical brings not just a glimpse, but the in-depth life story of Devan Leos, famously known for his role as Alan Diaz in Disney XD’s Mighty Med. We not only discuss the day in the life of a child actor, some of Devan’s crazy experiences on set (such as having to memorize monologues and pages of lines 15 pages before the shoot), but also how Devan was able to overcome a challenge with the criminal justice system due to him being unfairly accused of murder. It really says a lot about Devan’s heart how open he was about his issues and what he is doing now with his multiple marketing startups to contribute back positively to the world. This episode gave us great insight into the true peaks and valleys of a child actor, and we really appreciate Devan taking the time to come on and talk to us. See you next time!

Politicians, you either love em or hate em. Greg Krino took a stand against his local politicians by running for political office. Like Rishi said, the dude’s done it all.

Once again, we talked to Kunaal Kapila, one of the co-founders of COM3T Drones. Instead of talking about the success of COM3T, this episode focuses on the legal issues Kunaal and the other co-founders ran into while creating their startup. The world is not easy and is filled with people who want to steal brilliant ideas from others. We hope you enjoy this episode!

Drones are an industry expected to triple in size within the next ten years. Now, you’ve most likely flown a drone and crashed it into a tree, and now that drone is sitting in some box in your garage never to be opened again. Kunaal and Nitin are 2 of the co-founders of COM3T Drones, a drone tech startup aimed to revolutionize the drone education industry through its plug-and-play kits as well as step-by-step online courses. To learn more about Kunaal and COM3T, as well as some of their growing pains as a high school startup, tune into part 1 of our conversation. We hope you enjoy it!

Welcome back to part three of our three part series with the High School Maharaja, Arya Chalasani! We talk about the important distinction between actor and character, and how a true actor controls their character in all scenes to the point where someone envisions them as an entirely different person when they are not acting. Towards the end, Arya discusses how an important figure in his life, his aunt, recently passed away. She was the one who encouraged him to block out all the noise and focus on his goal of becoming a famous Tollywood actor. We wish Arya the best of luck with his vision, and with his mindset and work ethic, we have no doubt in our minds that he will achieve it.

In part 2 of our talk with Arya Chalasani, we break down the Indian Film Industry together, and talk about the biggest problem with it today: nepotism. Arya talks about how he plans to get into the industry even though its full of nepotism. We also play a song guessing game with Arya to put his Telugu music skills to the test. Stay tuned for part 3!
