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!

Tommy Cantillon is a singer, songwriter, instrumentalist and has been a nationally touring musician since he was a teenager. Tommy sits down with Julian to discuss what it was like being so young on the road. Having his older brother manager their first band, "Holden." What it was like to live out of a van, play shows in every nook and cranny of the country and become a real road dawg. Tommy talks about learning how to be efficient at touring through learning the tricks of the road. What it was like to play every State Fair and High school this giant country has to offer. Going through his first breakup of a band. Starting Tommy and the High Pilots, and seeing success. Applying all the grassroots approaches they learned from the early days to build out tours, play big stages and ultimately cultivate a giant following all over the world. Tommy talks about persistence. The importance of staying with it, but also knowing when to call it. The good times and the bad. What becoming a father has been like for his musical journey and how he's managed to keep his passions and his family both at the forefront of his pursuits. finally, how a bunch of unreleased music from Tommy and the High Pilots became their new titled EP, and how it sparked the interest to get the band back together and do a reunion show this October in St. Louis. If you're around or you can swing it, you won't wanna miss this one!
