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!

Brian Charles Johnson is a stage/screen actor and singer who got his start, while still a student at NYU Tisch School, being cast in, the original Broadway production of, "Spring Awakening." The show wound up sweeping the Tony's and putting Brian immediately on the map. He went on to star in Green Day's "American Idiot" and receive critical acclaim from an international level. And after about an 8 year run of being at the top of his game, it all came to an end. And when the calls didn't keep rolling in, he wondered what the deal was. All his co-stars were going on to star in TV shows and other Broadway shows. And he jus stood on the sidelines and watched the bright and shining career he once had slowly dissolve. Brian discusses what it was like to learn to manage his expectations after all of that. And how he turned it all around for himself, after many hears of deep personal work and growth. How he found his path back to the screen. And how he has learned to rebuild his own self-worth along on the way.
