Over the years, I’ve discovered that some of the most powerful lessons don’t come from lectures—they come from real conversations. That’s why, throughout The Artist’s Roadmap, I share moments from my classroom: open, honest exchanges with students who are just as curious and driven as I was when I started.
In this first excerpt, we dive into the first prism in my framework: the “Show” in Show Business—and at the heart of it is one word: Passion.
Passion is the foundation. It’s the fire that drives the work, sharpens the talent, and keeps us going when the road gets hard. In this clip, I talk with my students about what it really means to be fueled by passion—how it affects your energy, your choices, your ability to overcome, and your connection to your own dream.
We also talk about what happens when passion gets lost—and how it can be reignited. I share a personal story about the time I stepped away from acting, what brought me back, and how passion continues to shape every step of my journey, even after five decades in this business.
🎧 Hit play to listen to the full excerpt, and let me know in the comments—what fuels your passion?
