My name is Julian Gavilanes. I am an actor, filmmaker and now podcaster in NYC, who has an ever-growing fascination with the artists journey. Furthermore, how they've uniquely managed to stick with it through all the inevitable adversity that seems to be a prerequisite for getting to where they want to go.
Many artistic people will say, "you have to be delusional just to believe you even can." And this show attempts to explore how some of my favorite artists in the world learned to cross over from just believing that they could do this, to actually executing these "impossible" aspirations.
Ideally, through these conversations we will impart some level of valuable insight for all of us who are struggling to keep pushing the rock up the hill. Attempt to find the best skills for prioritizing self-care inside and keeping positivity at the forefront of their hearts. Because at the end of the day, no matter what level you reach--it doesn't get and easier. It just gets different. But the good news is, you're not alone. And you're far from inadequate. So, enjoy the talks and stay inspired!

Anastasia Baranova is a Russian American actor (Z Nation, Sons of Anarchy, Veronica Mars, Scouts Safari). Anastasia sits down with Julian to discuss what it was like getting started in acting as a pre-teen. The challenges of falling in love with this profession so hard that it made it impossible to be happy without. Julian walks her through the impactful experience of meeting her on the set of Z Nation and how she helped him rebuild his confidence after the show was over, by reminding him that, "it's ok to want to be a star. Especially if you actually are one." She talks about how she came to develop that state of mind for herself, all the negative self-talk that has tried to get in the way of it since. And what it was like to say goodbye to playing the LEAD on the hit TV series, "Z Nation" for 6 seasons. What her expectations were coming off that show, and what the reality became were two very different things. But how she managed to pull herself through and find self-love in knowing that she still possesses every part of that STAR in herself, and how she's now working on the most challenging, yet rewarding role of her life so far--herself.
