Have you ever wondered what it is like to be a screenwriter? Well, this week you will get an inside peek into what it takes to not only become a writer in Hollywood, but some behind the scenes insights from a writer and executive producer on Showtime's Billions, Theo Travers.  In this episode, Theo shares the story of how he became a writer and drove across the U.S. from NYC to L.A. to pursue his dream. His journey is a reminder to us all that if you want to pursue a career, it’s not all about luck. Instead, prepare, show up, be ambitious and get comfortable with making scary choices.     After graduating from NYU's Tisch School of Arts, Theo’s first foray into television was as an event coordinator for the William S. Paley Festival, where he helped assemble panels with show creators and their lead actors. After a brief detour in television ad sales, Theo cut his writing chops as a television news reporter in the Southeast, most recently in Memphis, TN. He shadowed undercover cops on drug busts and prostitution stings, earning an AP award for excellent journalism. He even got a chance to interview President Barack Obama and Representative John Lewis one-on-one. With a passion for scripted narrative still burning, Theo relocated to Los Angeles and broke into the creative side of television as an assistant to several production executives.   Theo first staffed as a writer on Showtime's House of Lies starring Don Cheadle and Kristen Bell. There he wrote for four seasons, rising in the ranks and gaining hands-on production experience. Theo has gone on to write for network dramas Sleepy Hollow (FOX) The Brave (NBC) and served as writer and co-executive producer on Starz's hit crime saga, Power.   This is an episode that busts misconceptions about working in the TV business, includes several examples of making scary choices voluntarily, and will give you goosebumps especially when Theo shares how he had the chance to thank John Singleton for replying to his letter 20-years before they met.  Highlights:   Theo shares his journeyman route to writing in Hollywood. (8:12)  Everyone is a little uncomfortable -Theo shares his thoughts on knowing how to lead his bullpen and thrive as one of the few Black men writers in the TV business. (12:00)  There is a great deal of uncertainty in every situation, those who do well have the aptitude to live with discomfort. (12:30)  A common misconception is that working in Hollywood is a pipedream not a thing you can plan for. (13:24)  Sound advice from Theo’s musician mother, be a specialist in what you do, and if you want to be a specialist focus on being the best at your job. (13:52)  How the election of Barack Obama was an inspiration to Theo. (24:00)  If the rock we are pushing is moving or not, so long as you have the ability, it is incumbent upon you to push and make the leap. (27:39)  Today’s diverse audiences have made the economic demand for different stories to star people from all walks of life. (32:09)  How the world has shifted in a multitude of ways and impacted the entertainment industry. (39:00)  How writing is an outlet for personal expression and how there is power in the written word. (49:00)  It feels like you have to trade something important away to become successful in this field. But Theo explains how he found the exact opposite, people who would stand up, live by their values are the ones experiencing success. (59:00)  Theo’s Gutsy Moment: He recollects on the time he met his hero, John Singleton, and thanked him for encouraging him to pursue a career as a screenwriter.  (1:02:00)  Links to quench your curiosity:  Watch Billions on Stan  Follow Theo on Instagram   A cause close to Theo’s heart: If you're an American citizen, please join in the fight to protect our most fundamental right of voting at https://fairfight.com/  Be sure to officially subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts or your favorite podcast streaming platform of choice, for instant access to these weekly interviews.

From Sirius XM's "The Bonfire," Showtime's "Billions," Comedy's "Stand-up," and Colorado's "Denver" comes Dan Soder. We talk about everything from legally smoking weed to illegally consuming Rolling Rock and Wild Turkey. It's a hell of a wild (turkey) ride. Here's five words to describe this episode: you are gonna love it.

Asia Kate Dillon is a true trailblazer. They* are the first non-binary (gender non-conforming) actor to play a non-binary character on a television show (Taylor on Showtime's “Billions”). That itself is noteworthy, but Dillon also happens to be an amazing actor who brings such depth and life to characters, making representation even more powerful. Now, In “John Wick: Chapter 3”, Dillon calmly commands attention as a mysterious character called The Adjudicator. Dillon talks about sliding into that role and what it takes to slide out of a role like Brady, the skinhead inmate, in “Orange Is The New Black,” plus their longing to do a musical and much more! (*preferred pronouns: They/Them/Their)

Brian Koppelman is most known as the cocreator&executive producer of Billions. As you will hear today he is much more than that. Brian is not just in television, but also an essayist, podcaster, film maker, former music business executive, record producer and simply put- a cool guy. This podcast does not do him justice- I can talk to Brian for hours, and I am sure you will feel the same way. Head to his podcast called "The Moment" to hear some of his amazing conversations. HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY! :) You can find us both on instagram! Me at @tytyshields and @briankoppelman Episode 3

Timothy Davis is an actor & writer probably best known as Chef Ryan on the hit showtime series, BILLIONS. he is the lead of the upcoming independent film DOE, also starring oscar-winner mira sorvino and Tatyana Ali from FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR.  He made his professional television debut as many new york actors do: getting shot in the face on LAW AND ORDER, in his case special victims unit, and made his professional film debut in Steven Soderbergh’s THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE.  He’s been a student at Lesly Kahn’s for over six years and a teacher here for way less than that, he’s a lifetime member of the actors studio and a black belt in Brazilian jiu jitsu.

If you like “Kahnversations,” please leave a rating or review on our iTunes page!   There are so many inspiring podcasts with fabulous stars out there. But their careers feel light years away from ours, don’t they? Wouldn’t it be great to hear from the guy who just booked his first pilot? Or the kid finally doing a studio pic after a bunch of low budget indies? Or the woman who’s been a series regular a few times but is only now becoming a name? What about the guy who’s been on a show for years and you know his face but what’shisnameagain? Or that actress who is now a freakin’ showrunner???? How’d THEY do it, right? How did they transition from relative obscurity, bartending and bottle service, to buying that house in Brentwood? We’re producing “Kahnversations,” a podcast that provides access to THOSE people -- your immediate predecessors -- so that you can learn from them while their battle scars are still fresh. In “Kahnversations,” our own Ryan Bailey interviews some of Lesly Kahn & Company’s working actors, directors, and writers in order to learn how they got started in Hollywood, the challenges and hurdles they faced, and how they overcame the odds. (They also dish out some crazy stories!) Listen in and enjoy as these entertainers speak candidly about their paths, processes, and experiences. You might even hear a bit about how Lesly and the Kahnstitute have influenced and shaped their careers.

I don't watch much television but I really enjoy Showtime's Billions. On a recent episode, Wendy Rhoades, an in-house psychiatrist for a prominent hedge fund, is counseling a one of the firm's executives. The executive is struggling because the firm profited from a major disaster. It was a moral struggle and a question of right and wrong. Wendy was clear & direct. She said, when you're here, "mind the truth that makes you money". I paused the show and wrote it down. We find ourselves in all sorts of true moments. We want the cookies. A second glass of wine would taste amazing. We're tired. All true, right? There are truths that take us in all directions. Truths that keep is where we are. Truths that move us forward. Truths that take us further from our goals. In today's episode we're riffing off that idea from Billions: mind the truth that moves you forward.
