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!

David H. Holmes (High Fidelity, Mindhunter, Mr. Robot and Penguin coming to MAX this fall) and Julian discuss why quitting acting has never been an option, even in the years where it would make the most logical sense to throw in the towel. What it was like to catapult into show-business the way he did. Working with his heroes. Losing out to Jonah Hill in Superbad, and how he learned to finally let go of what was not meant for him. He talks about what it was like to deal with a decade of uncertainty, after a fiery start and how he tapped into an energy that would eventually propel him to find success in all the places he wasn't even looking anymore. Finally getting cast opposite Zoe Kravitz on High Fidelity, and being on a big hit show, only for the pandemic to end it and leave him wondering where his next paycheck would come from. How he's found joy in the survival jobs he's had to take since then. And how he deals with the continuous customers who recognize him.
