Welcome back to the Think Bigger Actors Podcast! I'm going to tell you right now…if you have aligned yourself with the struggle of “Actors always get taken advantage of when it comes to money.” or the “starving artist trope…” this is not the podcast for you.  Because your toes will be stepped on…in the most loving way.  So I'm going to ask your permission – should you choose to keep on…that your toes might get a little hurt. Cuz, Baby…we're talking money. Today's guest we have Miata Edoga the CEO and Founder of Abundance Bound, actor. For over two decades, she has been helping individuals of all backgrounds establish a healthier, more compassionate relationship with their money – whether they are just starting out, starting over, or starting to wonder how they should handle their growing wealth.   Watch the video podcast on Youtube + Subscribe: DaJuan Johnson - Think Bigger Coaching for Actors.  www.thinkbiggercoaching.com Follow me on the ‘gram! @thinkbiggercoaching and @dajuanjohnson Join the Think Bigger Tribe Facebook group – where a Tribe of like-minded actors come to take their careers to the next level. #skiptheline #seeyouonset   CONNECT WITH ME: Instagram: @thinkbiggercoaching  TAKE THE QUIZ: www.theselftapequiz.com WHO IS THIS GUY? www.thinkbiggercoaching.com  JOIN THE CLUB:www.thebookersclub.com   CONNECT WITH OUR GUEST: https://abundancebound.com/

Welcome back to this week's podcast of the Think Bigger Podcast! This is it! The season finale! (But don't worry, season four is coming soon)  I brought in my current acting coach. Craig Archibald – you are definitely going to want to hear this talk. He wrote the book THE ACTORS MINDSET which is linked below. I have been working with him privately for just about 4 or 5 years. And I just started to work with him in a class setting…why? I talk about that on the podcast, but basically because I stopped playing as an actor. I stopped having fun. I needed to be around other actors with like-minded energy and goals. And Craig has been nothing but a safe haven for me and my artist. Check out this awesome book The ACTORS MINDSET BOOK by Craig Archibald.

This podcast was a long time dream of mine. If you are new to me and all things Think Bigger, I used to do an actor summit called the THINK BIGGER SUMMIT. You can still check out my latest one at thethinkbiggersummit.com. Where I would spend three days bringingin over 20 guest speakers from all areas of the industry to help actors SKIP THE LINE and take their career to the next level. Huge success. The Think Bigger podcast was a natural progression that I always wanted to do...I was already ready to launch the podcast in person and then the pandemic hit. And everything went virtual. I didn't let it stop my launch of the podcast...I just took everything virtual and did the talks online… Until now. These next two episodes were done in person. In a studio. Safe measures were taken. Sanitizer was had and we jumped in. If you love to watch your podcast online, please take a look at our Think bigger Coaching youtube channel and give us a like.

Today's podcast guest is the extraordinary Deji LaRay. He is a Actor, Writer, Producer, Showrunner! So many amazing hats Deji wears and I'm here for it. Deji and I met on the set of BOSCH...way back in season one. We had a very similar story...not knowing what BOSCH was going to turn into -- but loved the journey. Deji has since gone on to create his on series...JOHNSON...which he stars in, co-showruns, writes on -- all the things and it's pretty amazing.    This conversation was so transcending on so many levels. Why he wrote his series. Why there's Power in creating your own material. How he pitched JOHNSON in different spaces and got it in the right hands? Why completion is a BIG word for him...and what he really thinks should be done with your old self tapes… And the number one thing he thinks your project needs to be if you're shooting it yourself.  --------------------- Watch the video podcast on Youtube + Subscribe: DaJuan Johnson - Think Bigger Coaching for Actors  www.thinkbiggercoaching.com Follow me on the ‘gram! @thinkbiggercoaching and @dajuanjohnson Join the Think Bigger Tribe Facebook group – where a Tribe of like minded actors come to take their career to the next level. #Skiptheline #seeyouonset

Today's podcast guest is Emerson Brooks. Do you remember those actors you used to see in the audition waiting room? You know the actor that you secretly check their IMDb from time to time...the actor that it's always coming down to...you or them.  Well, you are going to love today's talk with Emerson...my acting Nemesis. It's more dramatic than it sounds, but Emerson and I would see each other in waiting rooms all the time. If he didn't book it, I would book it. Or vice versa. This talk is so incredibly important because when you really start to understand that these other actors are NOT your competition -- that the industry just makes it appear that way...but, once you stop thinking that these people who are in your life as competition -- might just be in your life as your ally -- your world shifts.  It's a great talk.

Today's podcast guest is  my friend and working actor Angel Parker - and I mean WORKING ACTOR. Lab Rats, American Crime Story: People vs OJ, The Strain, LaBrea which was my favorite pilot last pilot season, to a new pilot this season called National Parks.  This is a long one yall -- I couldn't figure out where to cut it because Angel just kept dropping nugget after nugget.  This episode should truly be titled an actor's ROAD TO SERIES REGULAR. The nuggets that Angel drops on her journey to FINALLY getting the coveted Series Regular role are priceless. From starting a family and not having the confidence to ask to be bumped up to a regular on Lab Rats, to getting to a point in her career when things seemed like they weren't panning out so she almost quit, to being up on an Emmy stage for American Crime Story: People vs OJ and still not being able to level up immediately to the agent she wanted and almost...almost booking Sterling K Brown's wife in THIS IS US -- these stories yall.   This is another actor's journey on mindset and truly being that it's all about timing and that it's all going to work out okay.

Today's podcast is super freaking special - I'm doing a double header. My first guest is Angela Cohen who is an actor, producer, writer and I just think you should know so much more about here.

I virtually met these guys on clubhouse where they were hosting two rooms a day for Actors. And you know anyone uplifting actors like that I had to meet.   As always, stick around after the podcast for the D-12 shot. ------ Watch the video podcast on Youtube + Subscribe: DaJuan Johnson - Think Bigger Coaching for Actors  www.thinkbiggercoaching.com Follow me on the ‘gram! @thinkbiggercoaching and @dajuanjohnson Join the Think Bigger Tribe Facebook group – where a Tribe of like minded actors come to take their career to the next level. #Skiptheline #seeyouonset  

Brain Patacca is this weeks guest on the podcast. And we are talking about his beautiful desire to help actors get the agent of their dreams. Agents, Agents, Agents -- every actor has worked with one or will work with one. Getting one -- Brian's way is pretty freaking great.

But, his candid talk on how actors can shift the “I don't want to brag” when reaching out to agents to -- let me help you see how amazing you are...and how THIS is a run on the ladder towards connection --- oooooooh -- mindblowing. Mind. Blowing.  As always, stick around after the podcast for the D-12 shot.

Today's podcast guest is Casting Director Caroline Liem who is ALL ABOUT MINDSET and what a better place to talk about it than on the Think Bigger Actors Podcast. We talk about her work with a Shaman, How a casting director threw a shoe at the door and in those next couple of moments how she knew she wanted...rather needed to be a different kind of casting director. Of course we talk about Self-Tapes because I have a casting director here and I want to make sure you're getting the up to date information on your tapes. And more. And we really stop and breakdown CLUBHOUSE...and why I think actors -- yes, my people -- are using it the absolute wrong way. Yup, shots were fired...gauntlets thrown on this episode.  As always, stick around after the podcast for the D-12 shot. Where I get to bring it all together.    Watch the video podcast on Youtube + Subscribe: DaJuan Johnson - Think Bigger Coaching for Actors www.thinkbiggercoaching.com Follow me on the ‘gram! @thinkbiggercoaching and @dajuanjohnson Join the Think Bigger Tribe Facebook group – where a Tribe of like minded actors come to take their career to the next level. #Skiptheline #seeyouonset

This episodes guest is Casting Director - Alexis Allen Winter. I sat down with her and it was only fitting that we talked ALL THINGS SELF TAPES. Because I am committed to helping you uplevel your self-tapes and get you BOOKED & BUSY! It’s refreshing to speak with a CD that is really dropping golden nuggets about the self tape process, what she wants actors to know about it, why SELF TAPES are truly here to stay… And why she supports my thoughts that actors need to STOP ROMANTICIZING the room! In fact we dive all the way into why the casting room is outdated and feels like Something that started in the 50’s, but  we’ve never changed it. So. True.    Also, in this episode we also chat about:  Casting in different markets besides L.A.  Diversity In Casting -- what’s been done now State of the Union regarding casting -- when are we getting back into the rooms Memorized  The most important thing for an actor   Watch the video podcast on Youtube + Subscribe: DaJuan Johnson - Think Bigger Coaching for Actors  www.thinkbiggercoaching.com Follow me on the ‘gram! @thinkbiggercoaching and @dajuanjohnson Join the Think Bigger Tribe Facebook group – where a Tribe of like minded actors come to take their career to the next level. #Skiptheline #seeyouonset

In this episode, I get to talk with Kirby Howell-Babtiste. If consistently working actor were a meme -- she’d be on it. It’s been inspiring watching her career sky rocket from the moment I met her at a studio I was teaching at, to working together in the ABC SHOWCASE together -- then working on set together on a pilot -- to watching breakdown come across my desk with “Kirby Howell-Baptise” attached to this project. Mind blowing to see her go from submitting on actors access to being repped by CAA, the biggest agency in our industry.  Phew! In this episode we break it all down:  From Submitting on LA Casting to CAA.  “Business Mondays” - How setting aside time every Monday for the business side of Acting set a solid foundation How she genuinely doesn't believe she's ever lost out on one role How writing has brought her great empowerment. How the things that you’ve actually lived through are so interesting and so unique, so varied in what we want to see.The stories you have to tell are way more interesting than half the things than some writers are imagining. Why not being teachers pets is a WIN! Why she’s never thought about quitting acting before.   Watch the video podcast on Youtube + Subscribe: DaJuan Johnson - Think Bigger Coaching for Actors www.thinkbiggercoaching.com Follow me on the ‘gram! @thinkbiggercoaching and @dajuanjohnson Join the Think Bigger Tribe Facebook group – where a Tribe of like minded actors come to take their career to the next level.   #Skiptheline #seeyouonset 

Back for Season 2 of the Think Bigger Actors Podcast and couldn't be more excited!  So much has changed since we left each other at the end of last season. A Think Bigger Summit, Masterclasses of Self Tapes That Book -- but none more life changing than ending 7 seasons on BOSCH. Yup, the show I was a regular on for seven seasons has come to an end. This episode is all about the top ten things I learned on the show.  From how to negotiate money, asking for what you want, being addicted to notes on set and so much more.  www.thinkbiggercoaching.com Follow me on the ‘gram! @thinkbiggercoaching and @dajuanjohnson  Join the Think Bigger Tribe Facebook group – where a Tribe of like minded actors come to take their career to the next level.  #Skiptheline #seeyouonset

Special Edition Episodes of DEI Training  I wanted to tackle DEI -- Diversity Equity and Inclusion -- training from its roots. I decided to start with me and like any other normal person share it on a podcast.  I can't show up effectively, the way I want to as a leader, mentor, coach, friend, Think Bigger Tribe member without also doing my work. So here we are.  In these 5 episodes, you will see ME, DaJuan Johnson, become the STUDENT as I learn about my roots and how they affect my experience as a person of color. I sat down with Dr. Maisha Beasley, a DEI expert, and dove in head first.  What you're about to hear is me at my core...vulnerable, raw, and here for it all.  Through the podcast I want you to imagine a TREE. Roots, Trunk and the Leaves...this is how we will tell the beginning of my DEI story. I say beginning, because I am clear that there is more work to be done.  Episode 1 - We talk about my ROOTS. How growing up in a home where all I wanted to do was get away from the violence, but always had to be home before the streetlights came on, subconsciously shaped my earlier DEI experience. A time where I didn't fully see color and thought of my friends -- white, latinn, mixed -- as my siblings. A time that changed quickly... Episode 2A + 2B: We get into the "TRUNK" of my experience of DEI and talk about how I learned to "CODE SWITCH" to survive. To get ahead. To be successful. How being bused into a new high school that needed to fill a “black quota” changed my life. How my family made it clear, there were certain people -- in my family -- I was not supposed to be like. Episode 3A + 3B: We finish it off with the "LEAVES" of the tree and how I gave myself the "golden ticket" when I stopped trying to be someone else and stepped into DaJuan.  Here is where we tie in all of the traditional DEI terms and apply them to my story as a whole.  My highest intention here was to learn. And through sharing MY STORY, I hope you see YOUR STORY in it too. I hope that you see that DEI is truly about relationships at its core. I'm sure I stepped in poop on this podcast a couple of times, but what I know for sure is sometimes you have to step in poop to become the leader you are meant to be. My hope is it becomes less and less poop because...I'm here to lead.  Connect with DaJuan Johnson: Official Website: www.thinkbiggercoaching.com & www.dajuanjohnson.com Instagram: @thinkbiggercoaching & @dajuanjohnson  Youtube Channel Facebook: Twitter Join the Think Bigger Tribe Facebook Group: where a Tribe of like minded actors come to take their career to the next level.  #SeeYouOnSet
