RERUN | Emmy Nominated Tom Pelphrey — When You're In the Presence of a Master Aug 23, 2022

Show notes

Today we sit down with actor Tom Pelphrey. What began as a sports injury, from a very short-lived high school football career, and a friend subsequently suggesting he try out for the school play, a perfect storm of influences and awakenings (and the power of encouragement) made Tom realize that he was good at something for the first time in his life—his natural aptitude on stage eventually launched him into a full and thriving career in theater, television, and film. Tom's work continues to captivate audiences, with roles on Cinemax's Banshee, Marvel's Iron Fist, Netflix's original hit series Ozark, and many more. From his first audition with casting director Alexa Fogel (where he didn't land the job), Tom explains how not booking the role evolved into a now 15-year working relationship with one of television's most respected casting directors. He shares how self-doubt and struggling with feelings of inadequacy accompanied him throughout his twenties, and how he discovered validation out of admiration, how to evaluate self-value, and the realizations that can only come from maturity and experience. We get to chat about the power of memorization muscle, soap stage stories, and how to navigate the tide of workload shifts, seen through his mountainous climb from one-take-wonder jobs to working under the guidance of an industry master, Mr. David Fincher. Coming out of "guest-star land" to becoming a series regular, Tom explains what it means to not take things personally and the importance of not attaching one's self-worth to the results. And of course, we get to gush about his experience of working alongside Jason Bateman and Laura Linney, where he has gleaned even more tricks of the trade. Tom even shares the daily practices he continually uses to remain grounded in an ever-changing industry, which is even more valuable given the nature of these unprecedented times—in fact, this is my first ever Zoom interview, making it not just an honor, but also befitting, that we get to retell the stories of adaptation and triumph that landed Tom Pelphrey right here.

WEDNESDAY WISDOM: Critical Eye Apr 27, 2022

Show notes

We can be our own worst critic when it comes to watching self-tape playback. Oftentimes, our ego zeros in on that one piece of hair out of place rather than watching for whether or not we're supporting story. Join Anna and Alyshia as they explore a kinder approach to self-tape playback as they share how we can identify what's working and what isn't and how to course correct without condemning ourselves in the process.

WEDNESDAY WISDOM: Compare Apr 20, 2022

Show notes

As much as we all want to grow in our craft, learning environments can stir up thoughts of comparison if we're not nurturing our mental health. Rather than "compare and despair," how can we shift our mindset towards excitement and curiosity? Instead of looking at fellow classmates and asking "why not me?" Alyshia and Anna share how to look at those succeeding around us in a constructive way that allows our talent to expand.
