I've always wondered what it takes to persevere in creative careers, especially one as thankless as acting. There's what people see on the outside, and then there’s the real day-to-day grind behind it.
Ethan McDowell's episode of The Power of Human Stories is now live.
Ethan and I go back more than 10 years, to a season when Vega Productions was doing a lot more narrative filmmaking and cutting our teeth on short films together. Some of those projects were scrappy, ambitious, and honestly still really meaningful to me.
I’ve followed his journey from the sidelines over the years as he’s kept showing up, kept doing the work, and kept building a real acting career in Hollywood and Atlanta, working on productions like The Walking Dead, Ms. Marvel, Doom Patrol, and HBO's The Righteous Gemstones.
In this conversation, we go deeper into that journey. Not just the credits or the roles, but the mindset it takes to stay in the game, stay grounded, and stay true to who you are in an industry that can easily pull people in a lot of different directions.
If you’ve ever wanted a more realistic look at the world of acting, I think you’ll appreciate this one!
I am super excited to share my conversation with Ethan McDowell next Monday, where we dove into topics like his journey from a small town in Wyoming, his appearances in major tv shows, and his hunger and continued perseverance in acting through life's ups and downs.
In this clip, you can hear him talk about how a show The Walking Dead transformed Atlanta's economy and culture. It's fascinating to hear how a show can turn a town into a vibrant hub of creativity and tourism.
See you on Monday for the full episode!
At one point in our conversation in Episode 02, I asked Roland when he first realized there might actually be a path to making a living in music.
For him, it wasn’t a single opportunity or breakthrough. It was the realization that the music he loved was everywhere — in films, in television, in the stories he was already drawn to. And behind that music were composers who weren’t mythical figures, but real, attainable people doing the work.
That shift in perspective made the idea of a career in music feel possible.
Episode 03 comes out later this month with another awesome guest.... To be announced soon!
