In today's episode, I go behind the camera with my new friend Gabby Bourne. Gabby is an acclaimed actor and producer, having been a guest star on NCIS, a recurring star on Animal Kingdom, which by the way, is one of my all-time favorite shows, and she will be in the upcoming movie about Nike and it's efforts to sign Michael Jordan to an endorsement deal in the early eighties, which also stars Hollywood elite, such as Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Jason Bateman, Viola Davis, Chris Tucker, and Marlon Wayans. In addition to her acting degree from the University of Southern California, Gabby has previously trained professionally in London and New York City, and is currently enrolled in a masterclass with Keith Bogart at Parallax Studio. As you will see, despite her success, she continues to relentlessly work on her craft during the unseen hours. I met Gabby and her incredible husband, Tri Bourne, who just so happens to be one of the top men's beach volleyball players in the world at the Myrtle Beach Open last year.
This season I’m exploring what high performers do behind the scenes. I’ve been enjoying fascinating conversations with professional stand-up comedians, magicians, actors, rappers, dancers, YouTubers, athletes, coaches, and everything in between to find out exactly what they do behind the curtain – when the cameras are off and the arenas are empty – to work towards mastery of their craft and to prepare themselves to perform at a world class level. I hope you find their insights, perspectives, and personal strategies as helpful as I do and use what they share to continue to Raise Your Game.
Warning: this episode contains the occasional use of adult language – words like BLEEP and BLEEP and quite possibly some nudity… so please be advised.
