Chase what helps you play your best golf.How many of you have purchased second hand clubs and you need to change your swing for them?

In today's episode, Hollywood legend Ed Begley Jr. shares the unforgettable audition that changed his career trajectory. Originally reading for a minor role on the groundbreaking series St. Elsewhere, Ed didn't land the part he auditioned for—but his performance made such an impression on the writers that they created the role of Dr. Peter White, making him a series regular. It's a testament to the unpredictable magic of auditions and the importance of showing up fully, no matter the size of the part. With over 270 TV credits, 7 Emmy nominations, and a Golden Globe nod, Ed has become a fixture of film and television. He reflects on longevity, craft, and the timeless advice of his mentor Roy London, reminding actors to explore how their characters process pain—whether in comedy or drama.

What happens when an actor stops waiting for the phone to ring—and starts building the damn set themselves? In this inspiring and action-packed episode, Alyshia sits down with actor, writer, and podcaster Matt Del Negro (City on a Hill, Scandal, The Sopranos, Mayor of Kingstown) to dive deep into what it really takes to get your own project off the ground. From brainstorming with trusted collaborators to navigating Kickstarter campaigns and tax-deductible donations—Matt's doing it all, and he's here to walk us through it. We explore his latest project, Mickey Brash, a gritty, character-driven indie film with a nostalgic 1970s Midwest vibe and a whole lot of heart. Matt shares how he's balancing creative control with practical limitations and how community—yes, your community—can make all the difference. Plus, we break down the evolution of his script Mickey Brasch, originally inspired by a TV role from 2013, shaped by feedback from actors like Chris Messina, and now a sharp, funny, father-daughter road movie with serious Blacklist buzz. If you've ever dreamed of creating your own content but didn't know where to start, this episode is your permission slip and your blueprint.

Welcome to the very first Wisdom Wednesday - a new series I've been feeling called to begin here on the Kirsty Gallagher Podcast but wasn't intending to start just yet...until my experience last week!In this first episode, I'm opening up about something very personal. Many of you know I recently appeared on national television, where I was ridiculed and laughed at for my spiritual beliefs. It was painful on a human level - but it also deepened my devotion to this work more than ever before. The response I received from so many of you inspired me to record this episode. I want to share what I've learned about using your voice, staying grounded in your truth, and continuing to speak up - even in the face of cynicism or judgement. If you've ever held back for fear of what others might think, I hope this episode reminds you that your voice matters. Your message is needed. And that when you speak from a place of love and deep knowing, it will land exactly where it's meant to. ❤️I'd love your feedback on whether you would like Wisdom Wednesday to become a regular thing. I see this as a space for me to share from the heart - real-life experiences, spiritual truths, and the deeper lessons I'm learning as I walk this path and to also answer your questions.If you'd like to share any questions or topics for future Wisdom Wednesdays, I'd love to hear from you. You can email me at: questions@kirstygallagher.com (please note it's not a manned inbox, but I'll check in there for inspiration).Your support means the world - if you'd like to continue this journey with me, you can PRE-ORDER THE BOOK
