In this week’s episode of (Un)Stop the Story, Unstoppable Tracy is talking to John F Stevens, the owner of Talent Inc Canada. John is a talented performer, coach, director and producer who has had a hand in the careers of talent who have appeared on Harry Potter, Hero’s Wynonna Earp, Home Alone 5, national advertising campaigns and more. John began his career in circus work - juggling, clowning and riding a unicycle. He isn’t the first in his family to have a career in showbiz; his father was in the Ringling Brothers Circus and he is proud to be carrying on the family tradition of bringing people delight, and helping them find creative expression.
This week’s episode is all about finding, and using your voice. Show business isn’t an easy business to be in, but acting and other performing is a beautiful craft. In answer to concerns about being too old, or too plain, or too different from other people on TV or in Movies, John says: “You just haven’t been discovered yet.” It’s not all easy and positive emotions, however, being in show business means dealing with rejection - but there is a lot we can learn from that, as well.

Unstoppable Tracy is excited to welcome Gerry Robert, CEO of Blackcard Books, marketing and publisher for The Secret, Jack Canfield Soup for Soul series spin offs, frequent opener for Tony Robbins and an expert in taking action. Gerry is a multiple time best selling author and one of the world’s top PAID keynote speakers.
The theme of today’s episode is taking action. 2% of the population act, 3% think they act, and 95% would rather die than act. People often put mental constraints on themselves thinking that they can’t do certain things, and dismiss ideas without really thinking about them. This, sadly, indicates that many people aren’t awakened to the opportunities around them.
