4.9 Podcasting, Patreon, & Audiobooks w/ REBECCA STRUZYNA

We have a special spooky guest with us this Halloween week; coming straight to us from Cobwebb Cottage in the UK is The West London Witch herself, REBECCA STRUZYNA!!!


Rebecca, or Becca as we know her to be, is an Actress, Musical Theatre teacher in London, and Creator of The West London Witch Podcast where real stories are shared about people's experiences with the spooky, strange, mysterious, and unexplained. Becca has had INSANE guests on her show including Chris McKinnell (Ed and Lorraine Warren's grandson from the infamous Annabelle Doll story), Brandon Alvis and Mustafa Gatollari from Ghost Hunters, Andrea Perron from the real Conjuring house, Mike Allen who was the actual reporter for "The Devil Made Me Do It" court case, and more! Though in the end Becca shares that some of her favorite moments come from the people who write in to tell about their own personal haunted experiences. No matter who the guest is, the goal is always a great story!


We talk the mind and technical hurtles of starting a podcast, creating a great and consistent show, and the differences between content for Social Media and sharing exclusive content for a growing fan base on a platform like Patreon. We also get into how to approach and sustain your physical and mental self during an audiobook recording, and how to prep for that feat as an actor.


So much to love and learn from our favorite witchy guest this Halloween Week! Follow her @The_West_London_Witch and join in on the fun "Coven Conversations" over on her Patreon at Patreon.com/TheWestLondonWitch

4.8 Artistry in Content Creation w/ SHELAH LARSON

This Monday we have on the pod, our new obsession... SHELAH LARSON!!!

Shelah (pronounced SHAY-LA, get it right), is an Actress, Producer, Director, Writer, and Content Creator. She's been awarded “Best Actress” for indie-films, including Bad Vintage (2023) and Back Home (2022). Shelah has also recently Written and Directed The List - Micro Short (2022), which won multiple awards at local LA film festivals, and plans to release two new shorts, ISAIAH (visual poem, 2024) and Under The Oak Tree (micro-short, 2024) in the coming months. AND she's the Co-Creator of SHORTSNACKS, bite-sized films for those who just want a snack.


In addition to her multi-hyphenate filmmaking skills, Shelah is a resource savant! We get into how she learns by doing, creates mindfully with set goals for each project to propel her career forward, her pragmatic approach to reflecting on the experience of each project, and we tackle topical questions today like how to learn to ask questions on set as a woman in the industry, and what are verticals and their importance in today's market (Spoiler alert!!... they are VERY important, SAG is working on a new contact for them right now).


And to top it all off, Shelah is a lovely, lovely human being we are so excited to bring to you today. PLEASE do yourself a favor and take a look at her GORGEOUS website ShelahLarson.com and follow her on IG @ShelahLarson as well as her ShortSnacks Films @ShortSnacksOfficial.

4.7 SOUL ON FIRE Film w/ Actress Stephanie Szostak

This week on the pod, we have an insanely talented guest with a new feature you can go see in theatres now!! We talk with French-American actress STEPHANIE SZOSTAK, one of the leads in the upcoming feature SOUL ON FIRE starring alongside William H. Macy and John Corbett.  Other credits of hers include the ABC Hit Series A MILLION LITTLE THINGS, IRON MAN 3, and THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, amongst others.

Ten years into her career, she suffered from imposter syndrome, which pushed her to address her mindset and develop a personal Playbook as a daily practice of mental fitness. Her book, “SELF!SH: Step Into a Journey of Self-Discovery to Revive Confidence, Joy, and Meaning,” offers a template for others to create their unique Playbook to live with authenticity and thrive through adversity.

Knowing she is where she is only thanks to the help of many, Stephanie thrives to support others on their lifelong journey of discovery, learning, and growth. As part of her commitment to mental health, she donates half of her proceeds from her book SELF!SH to the mental health organization, Give an Hour and is actively working on expanding the reach of the SELF!SH app, currently in beta.

Stephanie has been featured in Vanity Fair, Oprah, Forbes, US Weekly, People Magazine, Glamour and Marie Claire just to name a few. She has also appeared on The Today Show, Good Morning America, The John O’Leary Podcast, Off The Beat with Brian Baumgartner, and Whine Down with Jana Kramer, amongst others.


You can follow Stephanie on instagram at @stephshortstak


Hope you enjoy this week's episode as much as we do, and go see SOUL ON FIRE in theatres NOW!!!

4.5 How to Network Successfully

We love and hate this … it’s NETWORKING!! So essential, so vital, and sometimes so fun! But definitely beneficial when you do it the “right” way. In this episode we cover networking in unusual places, or places you wouldn’t think you’d find people in your field, like your survival job, and yes, even the women’s bathroom. We discuss the power of networking horizontally, not just vertically, networking solo vs. networking with a partner, some financial work arounds and tips, what we think is the BIGGEST waste of time at networking events, and our favorite advice from none other than the queen herself, Taylor Alison Swift. We get into the good, the bad, and the ugly of networking events, but provide tools to help you make the most of them at any level of your career. 

 

It’s no surprise that other than on set, our favorite places to network are at women centered events, and we have some incredible recommendations for you below: 


Networking Resources:

  • Women In Entertainment
  • Moonshot Initiative
  • Alliance of Women Directors


Script Coverage: @KateBai on Instagram

Pitch Deck help: @LMPowers15 on Instagram


Next Monday we have an INCREDIBLE multi-hyphenate guest that we got through...you guessed it, NETWORKING! We'll be talking all about her career twists and turns, and the successful film festival run she's now having. You won't want to miss it!


Be sure to follow, rate, and review this podcast. We'll be eternally grateful! <3

Ashley is also a Indie Producer and SAG-AFTRA Actress, so we get into how she manages all aspects of her career, and her best advice for all of them.


Ashley is a Chicago local, who works and has representation both there and LA, so if you live in LA or in another market, either way, this episode is for you!!


Even if you are not going into Props, its so crucial to know what this role does on and off set, how much work goes into their artistry, and who they report to. Ashley also gives Actors some key tips on some dos and don'ts you should definitely know on set.

4.1 Multi-hyphenate: Taboo to Vital

WELCOME TO SEASON 4 of the GET SET! Podcast!! 

If you are a returning listener….oh em gee THANK YOU!! And if you are a new listener, we are thrilled you found us and would love to have you as a member of our community. 


On this pod we like to demystify the idea of an “overnight success” by highlighting all the different paths industry professionals have taken to get to where they are today. The ups, the downs, the down bad downs, the side jobs, and more! We get into it all, so you can feel confident in how you GET SET! in your career.


For this first episode of SZN 4, your OLD GIRLS tackle the idea of what it means to be a multi-hyphenate today, verses the taboo stigma it may have had in the past. We also offer tips of how to pitch yourself to specific audiences as a multi-hyphenate, and how those skills can benefit you in ways you may not even see yet. We go over the definition of a multi-hyphenate, and how to be a successful one, while building relationships instead of over stepping or exerting yourself. The name of the game is longevity and consistency, and to do that, picking up key skills or even whole careers along the way isn’t a “bad” thing. 


So buckle up, take a sip of your fav drink of choice *happy PSL season btw* and welcome back to class ;) Happy September!!! And we hope you enjoy all season long as we take you through the end of the year with incredible Guests, take aways, and of course Old Girls banter.


Enjoy!!

3.12 Benefits & Burnout of Social Media

Full disclosure: We are NOT experts…by any means. This whole episode is just our raw, honest opinions of the benefits of social media we have found, the positives of different platforms, how to avoid burnout and those moments of anxiety or distain around showing up on social media when possible. 


As this new year approaches we see many people set a “Followers” goal, but what is so much more effective is to understand what you want from each platform, curate your voice, and make it fun so the burnout doesn’t set in, or when it does, knowing how to take a mental health break. 


At the end of the day social media is meant to be …social; bring people and communities together, share in each other’s journeys and celebrate each other’s wins. Just remember, nothing is EVER perfect, despite what you may see. The best way to show up is to be yourself… and ALWAYS be kind. Once it’s out there, it’s out there. 


DON’T FORGET!! WE STILL HAVE 2 DAYs LEFT ON OUR GIVEAWAY!!!
