While interning Joshua got a taste of the corporate world and realized it wasn’t for him. He had spent a month in both Moscow and Tokyo, a little bit of time in Israel and seeing how people lived in different parts of the world as well as how they interacted with one another changed his perspective. He realized that with the short amount of time we do have we must find something we love to do and thus how he stumbled into acting. Chicago, IL was where he was raised. A city full of people that were down to earth, very organized and filled with excellent food. He had some family issues that impacted him heavily early on and it was tough for him to make friends but as time went he grew more confident in himself. After spending sometime at Parkland Community College, he dropped out at 22 to bet on professional football and traded stocks. It got so intense that he moved to Las Vegas for six months with one of his friends. After getting his feet wet with acting in Chicago he took his talents out to Los Angeles and attended Stella Adler Academy of Acting. In order to become one of the greats one must be willing to get back up millions of times even after falling on your face. Being vulnerable, open, studying the script, fully submerging yourself into the role, taking what you’ve learned and making it yours all needs to happen before the cameras start rolling. At 27 years young, Joshua is a humble, hungry and is doing whatever it takes to make it in the industry. In this episode Joshua discusses valeting cars was one of his favorite jobs as a kid, two roles in his acting career that have impacted him the most, we all have different paths in life so things will happen when they happen, the law of attraction, traveling and observing everything around you, why we should put ourselves in uncomfortable situations, being honest with people, wanting to add more structure to his life, you’re in complete control of how you react to situations it’s all about perspective and the only person you’re fighting is the one you see in the mirror. One of the main takeaways from this episode is that it’s you versus you. Look at yourself ask what do I really want to do, who do I want to become, where do I see myself tomorrow, next month, next year or even in a decade. You’re in complete control of your life. — You can follow Joshua here: Twitter: @JBrenner_Act (https://twitter.com/jbrenner_act) Instagram: @Joshua_Ryan_Brenner (https://www.instagram.com/joshua_ryan_brenner/) Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for new interviews (and more) weekly: http://bit.ly/2zprpon Follow us on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2hcSBws Subscribe to iTunes: http://apple.co/2yE0u9l Follow us on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2j82AHF Follow Bobbbaaaay on social media: Instagram: http://bit.ly/2Ap24ce Twitter: http://bit.ly/2hj6Ljm
