    The Precipice of Delusion

    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!

    Elise Finnerty on Avoiding the Scarcity Mentality of Showbiz Apr 29, 2024
    Show notes

    Elise is an actor and award winning filmmaker, (The Ones You Didn't Burn, Partner Track, Bumbld). She is also one of Julian's closest friends. They sit down to discuss what her experience being a woman in the business has done to elevate and hinder her career. How she's avoided quitting even when the signs were pointing her towards it. And how she beat her own scarcity mentality over not booking enough work as a professional actor, and finding a lane of her own in writing and directing movies she put herself and her friends in. She talks about believing whole heartedly in the theory that "a rising tide raises all ships," and plans to keep working towards her aspirations of building a movie making empire and bringing all of her friends along for the ride. Don't believe it? Just you wait.

    Evan Williams on Finding Authenticity Through Trauma (building TikTok fame) Apr 25, 2024
    Show notes

    Evan is a comedian, actor, writer and producer and director. You may know him from his "Credit Card Fraud Department" or "How To Make Movie Mad Lib" sketches he does on his always ascending social media platform. And although he doesn't care to be associated to his TikTok fame, he very much has it. But he also has a thriving stand-up, acting and writing career that transcends it all. He sits down with Julian to discuss growing up with a mother who struggled with mental illness, a brother that was terminally ill and all the challenges he faced just entering manhood. What got him started in comedy. And how his discomfort became the source material for his work. He talks about getting sober at 19. And all the continuous adversity that he has continued to endure into his adult life, especially after being divorce and being forced to get really honest with himself about what self-love actually means to him. And an event that lead him to discover how important his life was.


    Evan is a partner with and contributing member of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. After he lost his brother to this devastating disease, he devoted a big part of his life to them. To make a donation and help support all people and families with CF, follow this link: https://www.cff.org/donate

    Daisha Graf on Making Space for Life Outside of the Biz Apr 22, 2024
    Show notes

    Daisha is the epitome of a triple-threat--who started with a back-up dance career that's spanned some of the largest urban hip-hop, pop, and R&B acts in recent memory- Rihanna, Diddy, Pitbull, TLC, Santigold, Janelle Monae, Jill Scott, Ariana Grande, Big Boi, and Beyonce, just to name a few. She has a career as an actress (Step Up 2, The Breaks, The High Note) and has performed as a solo singer all over the globe. She sits down with Julian to discuss the transition she's making in her own life, to protect her well-being. What slowing down has been like for her. How she's figured out how to navigate the feelings of inadequacy. And beginning a new journey into psychology and where she hopes that leads. Daisha and Julian talk about the pros and cons of LA and NYC and decide a decade is way too long to go without seeing each other.

    Sean Crampton on Breaking Down the Door to Your Own Future. Apr 18, 2024
    Show notes

    Sean Crampton is an award winning filmmaker. He joins The Precipice of Delusion to discuss what it took to shift his outlook on being a "working filmmaker." Going from being someone who was waiting for permission to have a career, to breaking the doors down and creating a lane for himself that would instead foster exactly what he was looking to do. How difficult that approach has been. But also how rewarding it was to learn he could do this himself, and avoid all the "gatekeepers," that we're just in the way. How looking inward has saved his life and made him the artist he always wanted to be. And how he plans to help rebuild a very fractured movie business through his own work. Sean and Julian also talk about working together on their film, IAMERICA. How inspiring they found it. And what they both look forward to getting to work on together in the future.

    Allen Stone on Placing Value in Other Places to Find True Joy Apr 15, 2024
    Show notes

    Julian and Allen get to catch up after a long stretch of being away from each other. They discuss growing up together. Being broke and aspiring. Having ADHD. And what it was like for Allen to get everything he thought he wanted, and then watch it all get stripped away from him. How he's learned to place value outside of his artistic pursuits, and find self-worth in being of service to others. Allen and Julian get a bit emotional, so hold your heart and enjoy these best friends catching up.
