Kevin has been a public speaker since 1991, with more than 1500 appearances and began his career as a Stand-up Comic and Improv artist.Kevin, is also a bad-ass walking paradox – being equal parts creative Pisces and redneck third-baseman tough.

In 1991, out of a dream and a pure grass roots mentality, Kevin founded and built the award-winning actor's business organization, The Actors' Network.Kevin is commonly recognized as the top expert opinion leader industry-wide on the ‘business of show business' and The Actors' Network still remains the most endorsed actor's business organization in the U.S., winning consecutive BackStage West “Reader's Choice” awards (06/07).

For decades, the unforgettable caricature of veteran comedian James Gregory has stood grinning: his shirt untucked, his arms outstretched, a carefree welcome to a down-home, hilarious comedy experience. It's storytelling at its best. The trademark caricature is the essence of humorist James Gregory's comedy: rib-tickling reflections on life from the front porch.James is constantly touring. He's on the road about three days a week, forty six weeks a year. He continues to entertain sold-out crowds in theaters and comedy clubs and remains in demand for corporate events. James has been the featured entertainer for hundreds of corporations, including the Coca Cola Company, Kimberly Clark Corporation, Hewlett Packard and Kroger. James has also been the featured speaker for events sponsored by various civic and church groups.James is heard weekly on syndicated radio shows such as Rick and Bubba, John Boy and Billy and Bob and Tom. Combined, these shows are broadcast to people in over 220 cities nationwide. As a result, he now has a grass-roots following that numbers in the millions.James was born in a rural area about twenty five miles east of Atlanta, GA. He got his first job at the age of twelve at a small country grocery store. By the time he was fifteen, he was working thirty-seven hours a week, as well as going to school. As an adult, James has worked for the U.S. Postal Service, the Department of Defense, and spent almost ten years as a salesman before discovering the wonderful world of stand-up comedy.James does not “tip-toe” through life as if he's walking on broken glass or egg shells. That style is evident on stage as well. He is not politically correct. Much of his humor is centered on brilliant observations of crazy relatives and people obsessed with the slightest change in weather conditions – now referred to as global warming. He delights in poking fun at modern sensitive parents and out-of-control environmentalists. Gregory has been quoted as saying, “If you want me to be concerned about endangered species, you need to convince me that we're about out of chickens.”The James Gregory show turns the clock back to a time when life was simpler; to a better time, before the death of common sense; a time when people sat on the front porch and actually talked to each other without a cell phone in their ear.James' success, like his comedy, is the direct result of the values he grew up with. And now, twenty something years later, it is this unique brand of humor that packs the crowds into his sold-out shows. The absence of vulgarity sets James apart and his stories are carefully crafted art. “I have lived long enough to know people, know life”, Gregory reflects. “My comedy is based on my life experiences. It's real, it's funny and the audience loves it. That's why I'm still in business.”James has been featured in publications such as Atlanta Magazine, Country America, Music City News, Laugh Track, Backstage West, Southern Living and Goodness Magazine along with major newspapers throughout the South.He has appeared in concert with Kenny Chesney, Randy Travis, Reba McEntire, The Judds, George Jones, Ricky Skaggs and more.Support the show (http://www.paypal.me/BangProductions )

Sarah Taylor is an award-winning actor, writer, and stand up comedian based in Los Angeles. Variety calls her “stunningly good”, Backstage West says she’s “glorious”, and The Chicago Reader finds her “impressive” and “mercurial”…which might just be a nice way of saying she’s moody. (To learn more, click here.) Sarah has worked as a meditation teacher, energy healing practitioner and awakening guide for nearly fifteen years and has helped people find their authentic well-being. (To learn more, click here) Sarah performs comedy in Los Angeles and all over. From the profound to the profane, the sublime to the silly, her comedy illuminates the paradox of the human experience. Having gone through her own radical transformation, often known as non-dual awakening, and in working as a mentor and energy healer for many years, Sarah is gathering her wisdom and wit and writing The Divine Mess: How To Be A Nobody In Hollywood. It’s a humorous and helpful book for anyone who yearns to find what spiritual seekers have sought for centuries, or for people who just want to take a deep breath and sleep better at night. At The Hollywood Improv she has produced COSMIC JOKE and now WEIRD ADVICE with Sarah Taylor & Friends in the Lab. Sarah takes THE DIVINE MESS SHOW on tour, which is a one-of-a-kind experience that includes Sarah’s comedy with its unique point of view. Reach out to bring her to your community (post pandemic, of course)!

Want to make money in real estate? When I’m not producing stories in Hollywood, you can find me deep-diving into the fascinating world of real estate. What may seem complicated or expensive at first really isn’t. There are dozens of ways to enter, even if you have very little discretionary money to invest. In this in-depth 2-hour podcast, I break down the strategies and approaches I personally use to build wealth with property. Some of these will be familiar to you, but I promise, many won’t! There are a lot of unique and cool ways to participate in real estate that aren’t widely known. I’m here to share those with you.  I discuss: owning vs renting, buying a house or income property, which is better and why, Airbnbs, 1031s, Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs), taxes, depreciation, syndications, LLCs, platform investing, debt vehicles, equity stacks, Opportunity Zones, and more. Don’t let the fancy words scare you. It’s super simple, tangible, and accessible. If you’re a creative like me, you have the need for tactile, concrete concepts like numbers and money. Our daily lives are filled with dreams and ideas that take time to come to fruition. I believe this is why so many of us in Hollywood love and play in real estate on the side. So take a listen. Even if you never ever intend to invest in real estate, you may find some nice actionable take-away for other areas of interest, especially if you own or run a business.

Part 3 of 3 for filmmaker, Michael Addis' journey to writing his first book.  This time we discuss a range of topics from the qualities of cover design, how to source them or make them yourself; the importance of book titles and more importantly their sub-titles. Michael ponders whether one's life is extraordinary enough to write a book in the first place. Many books are about triumph or incredible journeys. What if you have something important to share bit isn’t mind-blowing? And what if you want to write, but aren't a writer? Michael talks to us about TEMI.com, which he uses to transcribe his audio "writing." How do you get reviews? When do you get reviews? Are they even important? Michael shares the story about the time he bought a silver jeep to appear more manly and it backfired. He proceeds to then share more stories before the guys get stuck on the new phrase, "opening the kimono."  The conversation eventually takes a very left turn when Michael talks about “opening the kimono.” Listen until the end and you'll understand.

Part 2 of 3. The discussion with filmmaker, TV producer, and comedy guru Michael Addis continues on his journey to becoming an Author. What program is best to write your book in, does it even matter. How long should it be (and does that even matter too?). Get the words out first. Vomit them out. Edit later. Don't let editing paralyze you from getting all of your cluttered and disorganized thoughts out. That process of writing and getting everything out without censor and worry for grammar and spelling is important. Most writers strategize this way. We discuss how to organize your thoughts and chapters and front-loading your book with the best information. What do you do when you're already set with your book strategy and get an even better idea or approach? What is writers block? Is it even real? The hack to simply writing, no matter what it is, to get you into the mode and help clarify your thoughts.  PLEASE ENGAGE AND SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST On iTunes/Apple Podcasts so I know you like the show and want to hear more episodes.

One of the last mediums left for Michael is book publishing. So on his journey, while writing his first book, Michael is using me as a sounding board. He wants to know about my experience, pitfalls, shortcuts, advice, and everything in between that I collected while writing my first book, “Produce Yourself.”  In this episode we discuss if, and why, someone should write a book in the first place - the benefits, writing for the right reasons, the process, etc. ***** PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST...

I love Brianna Bruderlin. She not only talks the talk, she walks the walk. She left a very lucrative and successful career as an executive producer and show runner of major network TV to create her own brand ownership. And she stepped into an industry she knew zero about. Without having any fashion experience, manufacturing experience, or any experience running or starting a business; in typical producer fashion, she said, "I'll figure it out." And so she did. Brianna is proof that if you're not fulfilled or finding meaning in what you've been doing forever, it's time to make a move and create a new world for yourself. Listen as Brianna takes us on her journey to figuring out how to launch the successful and unique brand, The Fox And The Mermaid.

How will this impact what we do in the future? Is it worth investing? Or is it all just one big crap shoot? You heard Dave talk about Hollywood and TV producing back in episode 21. But it just so happens, Dave has taken a deep dive into the crypto-verse, and he's here to show you what we're in store for.

Matt Cook is an intellectual entrepreneur, startup wizard, published author, and savvy thought leader who has always written his own story. He's currently building a multimedia entertainment company called Braveship that is specializing in producing movies from deep intellectual properties (books, games, etc.). He's got a smart head on his shoulders with a doctorate in economics. But he's even smarter for recognizing the importance of emotional intelligence, humility, and the power of curiosity as an outsider. He's also probably about 20 years younger than you'd think based on his accomplishments and pursuits. But I'll let you take a listen and attempt to do the math.  PLEASE ENGAGE AND SUBSCRIBE Follow me on Instagram You can also access all of the different apps and platforms (11 in all) this podcast plays on here: Official Podcast Page The book "PRODUCE YOURSELF: Apply Hollywood's Proven Formula To Become The Hero Of Your Life" is available everywhere.

Jeremiah Smith is the doppelgänger I didn't know I had. We've still never met in person (as of this broadcast), yet we share so many ideals and strategies from producing to investing, from real estate to podcasts. If you watch Bravo shows, chances are you've seen Jeremiah's handy-work from Vanderpump Rules to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Currently, as the Co-Executive Producer, Jeremiah is loving life, work, and hungry for more. But he's not waiting for a paycheck from his TV shows. He's reading, learning, and putting his money to work.  One of the real estate investing sites Jeremiah recommends is BiggerPockets, where he learned about the B-R-R-R strategy (If you want to talk more about that, feel free to reach out. My mortgage company specializes in many similar financing strategies). Check out Jeremiah's new podcast show, Working Class Hollywood (if you're not on Apple Podcasts or iTunes, go here). He focuses on getting your start, moving up, and navigating a career in Hollywood. And don't forget to check out his show, Vanderpump Rules. Jeremiah has worked on all 7 seasons! So if you need a restaurant reservation or want to meet the cast in person and spend the day with them, please contact him (he'll be happy I offered that).    PLEASE ENGAGE AND SUBSCRIBE Follow me on Instagram You can also access all of the different apps and platforms (11 in all) this podcast plays on here: Official Podcast Page The book "PRODUCE YOURSELF: Apply Hollywood's Proven Formula To Become The Hero Of Your Life" is available everywhere.

Meg MacRae has been the "mom" to rock bands on tour. From Ozzie to Jon Bon Jovi, from Phish to Neil Young; Meg has been managing and coordinating all of the behind-the-scenes to keep these rock stars in line and out of trouble. She's managed to do this all while trying to stay clean and sober herself (19 years sober now. Congrats Meg!). She's also coordinated and location managed on numerous films and TV shows as she finds the skills almost identical. She's now at a point where she's reflecting on what's important and what she wants out of life. It can be lucrative when you know how to make the wheels turn. But sometimes you want to be the one making the wheel. That's the crossroads Meg now finds herself at.

Jane Bloom is two-time Emmy winning producer who is always reinventing herself. Having just taken a lengthy two-year hiatus to travel and discover herself, Jane joins the podcast to discuss what's special about production (and what isn't). She's been an in-demand executive at other production companies, as well as conceptualizing her own ones, and making all of the dots in the middle connect. She's got an interesting perspective on the allure of Hollywood, the challenges freelancers have in the business, and how to manage it all.  ***** PLEASE ENGAGE AND SUBSCRIBE Follow us Instagram You can also access all of the different apps and platforms this podcast plays on (9 in all) here: Official Podcast Page The book "PRODUCE YOURSELF: Apply Hollywood's Proven Formula To Become The Hero Of Your Life" is available everywhere.

What can I say about Paul Cantarella? I love this guy. Actually, I have to say that to avoid wearing cement shoes at the bottom of the Hudson. I joke, but it's true. Paul was in the Mafia, then witness protection, then decided to come OUT in public with his family to be "normal," at their own risk. If someone wants to go after them, so be it (I have their personal address. I'd sell it to you, but it's not cheap!) I produced a TV series about he and his amazingly loving family (again, I have to say that. I don't swim well). Actually it's true, they are incredibly smart and sweet. The Cantarella's are now running car washes in Scottsdale, flipping cars, flipping homes, and trying to stay out of trouble. I'm super stoked to introduce Paul. I plan on having other members of his family on soon (I have to do that too... again, I don't do well 6-feet under). You think that's funny? Funny how? ***** PLEASE ENGAGE AND SUBSCRIBE Follow us Instagram You can also access all of the different apps and platforms this podcast plays on (9 in all) here: Official Podcast Page The book "PRODUCE YOURSELF: Apply Hollywood's Proven Formula To Become The Hero Of Your Life" is available everywhere.

If you're a film or TV writer, you know who Seth Nagel is. And chances are if he doesn't represent you, you wish he did. Seth is a manager/producer shepherding and shaping writers ideas and scripts into viable projects for sale. He knows what the buyers want because he played for years on the other side in Acquisitions (this is how I met Seth, as he was one of the dirty dozen you wanted at your distributor screening if you made a movie and needed to sell it). His resume is almost too long to list, but some of the notable places he left his mark finding, buying, and getting movies and TV shows distributed are: USA Films and Screen Gems/Columbia TriStar. He has since partnered or started his own management companies representing writers and helping them get their movies made. ***** PLEASE ENGAGE AND SUBSCRIBE Follow and like us on Facebook or Instagram You can also access all of the different apps and platforms this podcast plays on (9 in all) here: Official Podcast Page Terence Michael's book "PRODUCE YOURSELF: Apply Hollywood's Proven Formula To Become The Hero Of Your Life" is available everywhere.
