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!

I’m talking to myself this week. Felt like it was necessary to give myself and all of you guys a little check in. There’s a lot going on in my life as of late, and I’m spending some time trying to be thoughtful to the transitions occurring within me. The idea of faith has been on my mind a lot lately. More specifically, the absence of it in my life. And why? How do I learn to buy into something that is intangible? How do I let go of this belief that I am in control of everything and just live an honest life, free of the burden of that same control? What good is discipline if it you’re stuck inside of it and can’t get out. These are questions I'm asking myself and trying to navigate as I unlearn many aspects of my life that no longer feel like they're in service of my growth as a man. Through all the unresolved trauma I am trying to show up differently for myself. As a Partner, a friend, a brother, a son, a colleague and just as myself. This episode is a reflection of where I’m currently at, and how I'm choosing to redirect myself towards a better me.
