In this episode of The Walk-In, I sit down with Steven, a mentor for former people pleasers and a voice of grounded wisdom.

We talk honestly about the hidden damage people pleasing causes, why constantly putting others first can disconnect you from your purpose, and how fulfillment doesn’t require becoming a millionaire.

We explore the power of taking the first step, the danger of comparison, and why taking care of yourself isn’t selfish, it’s necessary.

This conversation is for anyone who feels exhausted from giving, stuck measuring themselves against others, or afraid to choose their own path.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to stop abandoning yourself.

In this soul state, we walk together with Deena, who shares an amazing story of discovery, passion, and the consistent grind towards a goal that has always felt doable, as long as she kept moving forward. I'll be honest, I was absolutely fangirling over her wonderful skills with the violin and other instruments. Her ability to compose music so quickly and in such a gorgeous way is beyond time itself. Not only is her music amazing, but her personality and vision are equally impressive; she is truly someone whose story will inspire thousands.

In this episode, we step into a soul state with Ziello once again, a man with a vision - to teach those around him, to coach the next generation of young voice actors. This man is incredible, from his voice to his vision, he certainly is one worth following, and in this soul state we hear him open his heart to the good, the bad, the easy, and the difficult, but he does not fail to speak on how important it is to celebrate the finish lines as you reach them.

In this episode, I sit down with Matthew — a voice actor, a father of seven, and a man who understands the true meaning of the grind. From Joker impressions to Mickey Mouse, audiobooks to animated characters, Matthew has built a world of voices while juggling a full life at home.

We talk about what it means to stay consistent, to chase the dream even on the tired days, and to believe in your calling long before anyone else does. This conversation is raw, honest, and packed with the kind of wisdom that can only come from someone who refuses to quit.

If you’re a creator, a hustler, or someone trying to build something from nothing — this one’s for you. Keep going. Stay consistent. Everything else will fall into place.

In this deeply personal Soul State episode, Kris opens the door to his journey as an actor who learned that dreams don’t die… they just fall asleep until we’re brave enough to wake them.

Through fear, imagination, heartbreak, and rebirth, The Actor’s Prayer explores what it means to chase a calling even when the world goes silent. It’s a tribute to every creative soul who ever wondered if they were meant for more, and a reminder that the stage is always there — whether it’s a school auditorium, a subway tunnel, or the city skyline glowing at night.

Let's take a little trip through The Walk-In archives and revisit some of the moments that shaped this show. As your New Y-Okie Host, I just want to say thank you... for every guest, every stream, every message, every bit of support through my highs, lows, and all the chapters in between.

Happy Thanksgiving.

May you, your family, and your friends be blessed with peace, warmth, and a whole lot of good food.

Special Thanks:

A huge shoutout to PodMatch and Alex Sanfilippo for their support, encouragement, and heart for helping podcasters grow with purpose. Connecting with people who lead with faith and authenticity has been one of the biggest blessings on this journey, and I’m grateful to be walking alongside a community that inspires creators to keep showing up, keep dreaming, and keep telling the stories that matter.

I am truly grateful for you.

Truly.

In this episode of The Walk-In, Kris sits down with voice actor and creator Anthony “Ziello” Voices to talk about the chaotic beauty of voice acting — and what it’s really like chasing characters, careers, and clarity while living with ADHD.

They dive into the highs and lows of the craft: from finding your sound in a noisy world to managing focus when your brain wants to sprint in twelve directions at once. It’s a raw, funny, and heartfelt look at how creativity and chaos can coexist — and even fuel each other.

If you’ve ever felt like your mind moves too fast for the world, this one’s for you.

What happens when you stop running from your past — and start walking toward your future?

In this deeply personal solo episode, Kris steps back into The Walk-In not to relive what’s behind him, but to look ahead at what’s coming. He opens up about momentum, faith, and the power of staying consistent when life gets quiet.

From childhood dreams to creative milestones, from Oklahoma to New York, from heartbreak to healing — this episode explores the beauty of becoming.
