In this episode of Call Sheet Confessions, host Mia LePage sits down with red carpet PA, moderator, and host Logan Grube for a candid, behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to move across the country, break into entertainment, and build a career one connection (and 12-hour day) at a time.

From grinding in Midwest restaurants and construction, to managing a brand new Buffalo Wild Wings, to now working The Voice, Netflix’s Let’s Marry Harry, and the Emmys / Golden Globes red carpets, Logan’s journey is a masterclass in attitude, resilience, and saying “yes” before you feel ready.

Before the Golden Globes crowds and red carpet setups, Logan opens up about growing up in Mansfield, Ohio, discovering he’s “good with people,” road-tripping solo across the U.S. to move to LA, and how his sisters in the industry helped him get a foot in the door—but his work ethic and personality kept him in the room.

Together, Mia and Logan dive into:

Midwest roots & personality hires – being the “Energizer Bunny” kid, loving the outdoors, and why being a good hang can matter just as much as being good at your job

Choosing “safe” business management… then pivoting – thinking a college degree would be a golden ticket, working IT staffing, and realizing the traditional path wasn’t it

Restaurant & construction grind – 60–70 hour weeks, opening a Buffalo Wild Wings at 24, and how running a restaurant secretly prepared him for production schedules and chaos

The move to LA – fires forcing his sisters to move, the “if there’s a will, there’s a way” mindset, and a 10–day solo road trip through Chicago, Colorado, Utah, and Vegas

First gigs in entertainment – day-playing on The Voice, talent wrangling on a reconfigured set, feeling “off” and still getting called back, and learning that you’re always auditioning for your next show

From The Voice to Netflix & red carpets – how one day on a set led to Let’s Marry Harry, then E! red carpet work at the Emmys & Golden Globes through relationships and reputation

How to be a PA people actually want back – “be available, be invisible,” why perception is everything, and the fine line between being helpful and being a kiss-ass

Networking without being weird – talking to everyone on set (drivers, art, grips, coordinators), avoiding PA purgatory, and remembering that “anybody can be anybody” on the next show

Freelance reality vs 9–5 life – missing the consistent gym routine and early mornings, but embracing unpredictable call times, random off-weeks, and the tradeoffs of loving what you do

Friends, relationships, and sacrifice in entertainment – why you need people who understand last-minute call times, canceled plans, and ghosting for a week because you’re on a run of 12s

Crafty Corner & industry icks – best crafty picks (breakfast burritos, fruit snacks, Sour Patch watermelon), the return of the sweet tooth, and why constant job-begging & over-kiss-ass behavior are major red flags
Protecting your reputation when you vouch for others – the risk of recommending people, why your name is your currency, and how one bad referral can cost you calls later

🎬 No nepotism without hustle. Connections can open the door—but showing up kind, prepared, and ready to work is what keeps you inside.
