This episode was recorded before I knew exactly what I wanted NSAv to be or had any idea who would be watching. So I stole a post from an actor thread on Reddit and gave some unsolicited advice...

Now that I've premiered, turns out most of my audience is made up of non-actors. And that's super  exciting! I'm looking forward to connecting with you all!

In the mean time, if you want some support around speaking up for yourself, check out the links below. Lots of good resources there!

When we're out there living your dreams, it's up to us to let people know what we need and where we stand in all things. Whether dealing with collaborators or family, it's important to take care of ourselves by letting others know when we can't be there for them. If this is an area of difficulty for you, feel free to steal some of the tips I share in this video.  

I also mention my appearance in season 1 episode 9 of Apple TV+'s  Swagger. You can check that out right here: https://youtu.be/pILXgtke-JQ.

AND for those watching this podcast on YouTube or Spotify, I've included a scene from one of the first films I shot here in Hollywood. I hope you enjoy it too!

It's easy to feel like you have no idea what to do or create next. But we come up with tons of ideas every day AND an unrecognized habit of ignoring the best ones. I'm going to share with you how I combat that!

Going to the Groundlings School was a turning point idea for me. Listen to hear what happened when I actually got in!

Writer George Eliot said, "It's never too late to be what you might have been."

And she's right.  

In my very first episode of Not-So-Average, I share with you what it was like for me moving to Los Angeles in my mid-thirties to further my acting career. You'll hear what it felt like. And what I learned. And what gave me the strength to keep going.  

Eliot said it.  

I did it. 

Now it's your turn. 

Time to live that dream!

#notsoaveragedreamer #notsoaveragepodcast

This show is a podcast for those daring to try and those who are willing to try but just haven't started yet. 

NOTE: Tarot Episodes start with Season 3 found at https://spoti.fi/3wF1GF7.

Meet up with me at your favorite podcast spot to listen. You can even watch the video version on Spotify and YouTube- in fact, you can go ahead and subscribe to my YouTube channel or follow the show page on Spotify now to get notified on Premiere Day (links below)- so we can talk about this thing in our hearts. This calling we just aren't able to ignore. 

This podcast isn't about acting - though I do draw from my experience as a professional actor. This show is about navigating a unconventional path by choice. It's about daring to try, whatever your dream.

I'll share stories with you from my so-far-26-years of working in a non-traditional field. (Over 30, actually if you count the radio work I did as a kid.) My good experiences and the bad. The fun and the scary. And all of it laughable...NOW. 

I'm warning you, guys, it's silly. And I use a lotta dirty words so if you're a kid...get outta here.

To turn your passion into a career, or even just a regular practice, you HAVE to be a NOT-SO-AVERAGE dreamer. 

Innovators, artists, light workers, entrepreneurs, creators in every area...this is for you. 

Premieres Tuesday June 7 2022. 

Hope to see you there! 

Shon 🥰
