On this guest episode broadcast, Misha talks about one of her favorite TV shows of all time: SUCCESSION. Misha goes in depth on the show with guest host Jackie Hanzl via Jackie’s podcast MADE, including breakdowns of which cast member delivered the best performance and why, as well as the all-time best pieces of dialogue written on the show. There’s also a few deep cuts into Misha’s life, as Jackie dives into Misha’s motivation as an indie film and television creator. A key question remains though for all our listeners to ponder…are you a Gerri or a Logan?!

Have you ever tried to change your life and thought, “wow this feels damn near impossible”? In part this uphill battle is due to the fact that your brain isn’t optimizing for happiness, but for keeping you alive…i.e. maintaining the status quo and not changing. This week Misha outlines some of the surprising ways to actually achieve major life change, including confronting your fears and doing the opposite of what your brain tells you to do. You’ll also get some helpful strategies on how not to fall back onto old habits once you start seeing progress.

This week Misha lays out the top three ways you can book work for yourself as an actor…no agent or manager required! The booking “triangle” covered in this episode works for any actor at any level of training, and provides you with power and control over your own career. Our clients who really commit to this have gone from zero auditions a week to ten auditions a week, no joke. The secret is to actually do the steps. Most actors simply will not commit to any plan of action, much less an effective one. If you’ve been relying on the idea of luck (doesn’t exist) or craft (helpful but not necessary), try going all-in on this triangle instead for 30 days. Let us know how many auditions you get!
