"This is fresh air, I'm Terry gross. When you think of the acting technique known as the method, you may think of raging bull on how Robert De Niro gained 60 pounds to play boxer Jake LaMotta in his retirement. You may think of actors who stay in character even while they're not performing. Or as my guest Isaac butler puts it, we tend to think of the method as some goofy hocus pocus that actors particularly the more self important ones get up to in order to do their job. Or as someone he met once put it, its remembering the most traumatic thing that ever happened to you in order to make yourself cry. But the method is much, much more butler says. In his new book the method how the 20th century learned to act. He describes the history of the method from the series of techniques created in the early 1900s by the Russian director konstantin stanislavski, through the American adaptation created by the group theater and the Actors Studio, and the actors who brought those techniques to their work on stage and screen. It's also the story of how acting was influenced by war, social change, and personal and aesthetic battles. Isaac butler also co wrote the book, the world only spins forward, the ascent of angels in America, he's also a theater director, teaches theater history and performance at the new school, co host the slate podcast working about the creative process, and as a cultural critic who's writing frequently appears in slate. Isaac butler welcome to fresh air. As someone who frequently interviews actors, I really enjoyed an appreciated reading your book. Let's start with an example that you think an example of a performance that you think embodies the method. Thank you so much for having me, Terry. You know, when I think about the method, I think of a performance like Al Pacino's in the first godfather film in that a lot of that role is communicated non verbally through you watching the character think the characters often feeling emotions in a very intense way, but not letting them out but also allowing you to see that they are feeling them. There's a certain amount of mystery to the character and idiosyncrasy. It feels like a real person in all of their complexity, not like a type or a stock role or anything like that. Al Pacino just seems really alive in the moment and really present in that role at all times..

"Really really unfortunate and unfair stigma for people with accents people with grammar difficulties or vocabulary difficulties. Especially if you're from certain countries that some people deem not as cool as others or you know not as desirable others in they face racism. They face discrimination. They face barrier to opportunities so we come in there and not try to change their accent. Make them talk like a. You know normal. American or canadian. Whatever but we say okay. What is your story. And what do you believe in. And how can you slow yourself down and all of the principles that make a good speaker a good speaker. They're the same whether you're native english speaker non native english speaker whether you're a beginner intermediate advanced speaker. It's confidence in warmth and emphasis in authority and credibility in clarity. All of those principles can help anywhere and then we can also add a bit of understanding of the difficulties in learning a new language and speaking a new language. I think it's also important to remember that if you're talking to somebody with an english accent. They're basically doing two fulltime jobs. They're doing a fulltime job but that they are actually paid to do and then they're doing the full-time job of learning english or trying to work in a language that is not their mother tongue. That is fucking hard. I've done it several times. And it's the mental energy that takes and all the emotional toll that takes feeling stupid feeling. Like you can't articulate yourself the way that you know you could in your own language not being taken seriously all that kind of stuff. So we often. When we're get brought in for those enterprise things we often are brought in for this program. We call elite. Esl communication but we do offer a sort of a similar thing for native english speakers or a mix of both which is basically still about getting over. Those confidence issues is when you're making a presentation to your stakeholders or your coworkers. How can you make it engaging. How can you make people. How can you persuade people to take the actions that you're hoping they can take on this presentation. If it's a pitch if it's a what do they call it like a recommendations presentation where you want them to take some action. It's all the same thing. It's one of the problems of the solutions in. What's the prize that they get when they implement your solutions that's entrepreneurs that business people that's freelancers it's all those people that's content creators so what is next for you and loudspeaker school good question. We're scaling right now. We're adding digital marketing to are kind of Business efforts were adding a marketing team I'm going to be adding some sales people very soon to help me with the the workload. We've added eight new coaches so that we can kind of scale out. We're doing more of these enterprise contracts so the idea for me is how do i help. How do i scale what it is. That nikki created for years ago. Train that to other people create evergreen products and try to make try to make the transformation that we can get when we work with somebody one on one or a group or on a webinar. How do we. How do we scale that out. Make it repeatable make it something that can be multiplied and And grow our reach for me. Obviously like obviously i want to. You know scale my company. Because i want to be successful in what i do but i also really want to help. More people developed this confidence. I think the lack of confidence in in who. We are the lack of acknowledgment about the role. Mental health plays in our communication and our forms at work And the way we're perceived and just the awfulness of of not feeling like you belong. Were or imposter syndrome or You know all those things that hold us back from being really good at public speaking. I wanna help solve that for the world. So it's just a question of scaling it out. And how do we do that. So where can we go find out more or if they wanna take your courses. Where do they go find out. More about will leads bigger school. So our website is out loud. Now dot com. My e mail is will loud now dot com if you have any questions on instagram. I'm at will green black same thing. Lincoln and facebook twitter. We're at out loud school. And then the powerful pitch communicate with confidence. That's a monthly course that we run. I think i gave you the link. Or i can give you the link after this but if people are in jail included in the show and the show notes If you're interested in taking this thing called the powerful pitch boot camp. It's a five week intensive to tease out all these things that we've been talking about your story booster confidence booster sales boost your audience and grow your audience online. That's what we work on is getting you there in a very short space time and So that'll be in the show notes. Then i think that's it. Will we have one last question here from the audience before we leave now that you're a content creator in. You're creating all this stuff on your own would you. Will you do any writing for film or tv. And do you think shaftesbury productions would take you back good question. I know shaftesbury works with mike cedar lot who was on life with eric and He's become a writer and a producer and and has gotten a lot of stuff made with them so i wonder if maybe they would but also. He's probably a lot more talented and dedicated to that than i am so yeah i don't know if they would take me back. I would love to writing for film. Tv have couple of pilots that i've written that have never seen the light of day. I have a short film that i've written. That has never seen a lotta day. I'd love to eventually make one of those things or or something. Totally new will. I do not know i do. I want to absolutely. I really appreciate your time Taking the time part of startup talk today will thank you very much for sharing your story with our audience. Yeah thanks for having me as really really nice and nice talking to you in them telling more of the story.

"You can be more confident of what you're doing you can you. Can you can pitch this to entrepreneurs because they need it and you know everybody in there was was Was interested in what you had to say and so looking back on it now. I'm mortified at what i did. I walked in there and like jeans. And you know new balance sneakers and a t shirt. My phone went off halfway through in the middle. I just answered it. Put it back my pocket and kept going it was. It should have been a disaster. But i just i realized both from what they said and from what i could observe that entrepreneurs are really hungry for the sort of thing. They need it. Some of them are good at it but a lot of them are not especially the tech entrepreneurs because they tend to be a lot more introverted in they are more comfortable kind of coating or working on their startup themselves and they don't know how to kind of sell their ideas and pitched themselves when i've gone into techstars. I've worked for them for four years in a row now in every year not just starts toronto but now textile space as well. Every year i go in. They transform and so it's just the difference it's hard to measure the roi. So it's not like i can say will you give me two thousand bucks and all get you like ten thousand dollars worth of clients directly. Based on this adspend people click link and they can see. I know that you came from me. What i know happens is that every year the the founders go into demo day feeling way more confidence the mentors tell me that this is the best crop of pitches people who are in the audience. Once they find out that i help. Coach and the governor's these are the best pitchers we've ever seen and it just it makes it more entertaining and clear we work on story. We work on delivery. Were on speaking skills. And then eventually. What i hope to is that i'm serving them for the rest of their lives as entrepreneur and making them more confident to take that speaking gig or to write that book and promoted her to start that podcast or to start their social media channel and get their ideas out there. That's a big thing. That i really believe in his entrepreneurs having having the the confidence to be the face of their company and stand up there and say this is what i do. This is what i believe in. Here's some content. Here's some ideas and put that stuff out there because ever since i've done that for my own company started putting up content. Doing podcast like this. It's just been huge for my my sales. My revenue might might reach influence. My credibility people are saying like came across. I was really sure. But then i saw your content i went. Oh this great or i. I've been watching content for some time. And i'd love to see if i can hire you for my company. All that stuff is starting to happen now. Like pretty predictably so another thing that i really like helping founders with is is not just the demo pitch the demo day pitcher the investor petro. The sales pitch even. But what's the powerful pitch that comes through all of your company who are you. Why did you start this thing. How does it help people. What's exciting about it can you tell that. Story reliably consistently but still with like freshness and spontaneity each time. That's really the job. And so and that can apply to anything even if they start a new venture they know the principles and they know how to get themselves there so that they can deliver that powerful pitch every time. So that's that's the benefit entrepreneurs is just confidence and then ultimately easier to raise money easier to make more sales. They make more sales. They lead their team better. That can motivate their team a lot better and it just it all starts with the founder so when the founders confident clear on what they do amazing things happen growth happens and you do a lot of work in enterprises. What kind of benefits. Why do enterprises bringing you in. What kind of benefits do they see for them. They have that money to invest in their people right but they don't know where to put it in and there's so much bullshit corporate training out there which i never wanna be at something very important to me to try to make sure that were really providing a good stuff and it's not just snake oil sales. They have a lot of non native english speaker. Certainly that's that's we often get brought in to help. People who are english language like english as a second language are english as a third language speakers and so partially because of my experience teaching abroad and and as an english teacher. And that's something. I trained my coaches in his. Well they'll bring me into help with confidence but also to tackle some of those difficult issues related to cross cultural communication training.

"So i call those people androids but the positives of that behavior is that they're very authentic and they read very authentic. People are often likely to trust them. they often make really strong friends and the people who do like them all often really like the chameleons are the people like me who are constantly mirroring and mimicking and learning how to talk in slightly adjusting the way that they talk to fit in with different people. Now that used to. I used to hate that about myself. Because i was like. Oh man. i'm just fake person. What is my personality. If i'm not talking Anyone else. Who am i really. What i noticed was. When i traveled when i lived in montreal when i lived in spain we lived in china. It allowed me to learn the language so much faster. Because i could pick up on the vocal tones in the accent not just the accent but also like little mannerisms the way that they say like. Oh yeah yeah you know the way that locals talk the way their body language was the volume of their voice or anything like that and also. I could talk to anyone. I could talk to people of different ages. People with different backgrounds. People have different occupations. I just had that kind of ability. And again i felt like i was being a little fake but i was able to make friends with all sorts of different people so to this day. I think both of us the androids and the chameleons need to learn from one another. The androids need to learn how to put on a little something. When it's time right. You can't just go in and sweatpants and tell crude joke. If you want to be taken seriously in a business context however that kind of true to yourself nece will be recognized. So if you just put a little bit of effort in no put on a pair of jeans and a god damned blazer or something and try to just speak with more passion than you normally feel comfortable. Doing that will serve you. And then the chameleons psych yes. It's great that you can kind of match people mimic but be yourself a bit more stop fucking catering to everybody else. Take a stand once in a while. Say what you believe. Don't agree with everyone speak the way you wanna speak. Even if you don't think what you at the way that you're talking will be read exactly the right way. So i think both of us there. There's good and bad things about both and so definitely i would say that the authentic stage presence is constant. Push pull some people are on the authenticity side and some people are on the stage presence. Side we've gotta find that middle ground for us but it's a constantly evolving process. When did you decide to apply acting techniques to entrepreneur's pitching. You've also done a lot of work with techstars and google. Dmz founders say the actual data. it's more of a mental switch. Went antony edit happened. Founders and working with their chords polishing their investor pitches so the follow was. What kind of success have you seen taking those techniques and applying to the investor pitches. Yeah so quickly. The story is When we launched our company. I kinda sent this email blast to anybody i could think of being like. Hey we're doing this public speaking thing if you know anyone and so that you know that wasn't yielding results but we were getting couple jobs here and there and it was very piecemeal like in the early days And then one woman that we hired to do some like email marketing for us. She connected us with this guy. Julien ho who i. I've collaborated with many times. He works at sweat and tonic and he's also had a fitness company called two point. Oh where he gather fitness entrepreneurs and different entrepreneurs who had like coaching things and gathered them together for these half workout. Half like ted talk kind of things. Those were great i. I miss those a lot so he invited me to do that and he was like. It's it's you know we can't pay you. I remember at the time i was like all. That's bullshit. I should get paid for my work. But i was like i'll just do it. We don't have anything else going on anyways. So i'm just going to do it. And i went and i did. Ten minutes of my thing of like quick warm-up quick thing about you know what we do and this woman was in the audience. Julie mitchell who is a member of entrepreneurs organization toronto she runs a company called interest rates brilliant entrepreneur. She runs a cycling studio that spins torque and she saw me and she said hey. I think what you would be. So great for my entrepreneur group entrepreneurs organization e oh if anybody knows about the mazing mazing worldwide entrepreneur group. And she's like i. I can only pay you this much and you know it's this weekend. I guess we can do your flight. Your hotel to it's a new orleans. Would you wanna come and in my head. I was just like holy shit. That's more than i've ever been paid such a crazy cool thing and i was like yeah. Let's see if i can do it. And so it worked out. And i got there and so it was a room full of fifty entrepreneurs they were accelerator trainers. It was an event called train the trainers they were training the the members of their accelerated programs so i was training them had in coach and mentor. I didn't have any handouts. Had no slides. I had nothing at one point. Somebody in the audience is like. Can you write some of this down. And i had one of these flip charts and make sure i started like illustrating some of my ideas and then they were like squabble scribbling down and then they kind of took me under their wing and one guy in particular. Peter patrick who. I o such data gratitude as well as julie mitchell and He took me saudis. Like what you do is really good but you know you you you you can afford to charge

"Suffer from compassionate empathy fatigue. Because we're not equipped to have empathy and connect with those many people and then as the third thing is we do not teach this in schools properly. The reason for that. There's a great. Podcast called john mcwhirter. He's got an amazing podcast called lexicon valley where he talks about. Language were different words. Come from he's great is a huge language nerd and so if anybody else's you'll you'll love this podcast he'd dissect where word comes from and how language changes over the years yeah. They used to teach rhetoric in schools and they used to teach you know. The ancient greeks used to teach rhetoric as part of your education rhetoric. We use now in a negative way. Rhetoric has a negative connotation of deceitful or slyly persuasive. But to speak persuasively is so important. And if you don't put any effort to persuade you will not persuade anymore and so we really do. Our kids. A massive injustice by not teaching properly anymore. The stupid thing is when you give a book report class. Your teacher goes. Yeah get up. There be confident. Be yourself Maybe use your hands. That's the extent of the of the work. Can you imagine like giving a kid math sheet and saying okay do your best. What the four. What is this. I don't even know what i'm reading here and it's the same thing with public speaking just because you talk it doesn't mean you know how to speak in public or communicate just like just because you know how to walk doesn't mean you can play soccer and i really do see it in the same way to communicate effectively especially in front of an audience of more than one. It is a whole skill. Set that needs to be developed. And if you don't develop it you'll never be. Some people are natural athletes. It can join a soccer game. Be okay same thing with speaking. Some people can do it. But most can't and that's actually the norfolk as you and probably everybody listening test you. How many times are you on zoom. Somebody gets on. Hey thanks for coming today. I'm just gonna run through my products with unesco jesus christ and you know that it's going to be difficult to listen to and you have to do so much work to pay attention. You probably look at your phone during it. That's mostly what we then. Somebody comes on he goes. Hey how's it going. I really excited to be here today. I'm going to tell you about my work and you kind of go. Oh great person has some energy. They have some clarity. They have some passion behind what they're doing and it's just it's such a treat to listen to in that that's what that's what i wanna do. I wanna give people that gap of the education teach people how to speak in public how to communicate with each other but also get rid rid of some of those anxiety self imposed blocks on being who they really are true to what they want and what they stand for. Articulating that properly. Because i just think it's a better life that you can live when you're not pretending to be something other than you are trying to represent yourself differently than you actually are so the more real you can get the better. It is for your mental health. I think this is great. This leads to chat room questions. One of the things you teach people is to be authentic self. Show their authentic self. But do you think that playing make believe for work. As a kid hindered your development of authentic south and a follow up would be did. It doesn't help you now to pull to get people to poll authentic south or show it. Yeah yes and yes. I mean absolutely certainly. My experience with being a child actor was that i didn't really take time to develop my own personality and i know that that's not necessarily true across the board but for me my experience was i wanted to be. I developed an instinct for what other people wanted me to be. And then i tried to do that instead going like what do i think if i disagree with this person i'm gonna say it If i if there's this movie that i liked that everyone says is lame. I'm gonna stick by and be like i like it. Fuck you guys. The thing i used to do. I talked a lot of people about this is people will be like. Did you see that movie. And i'd be like. Yeah even though i never saw didn't want to be this is when i was a kid. I didn't want to not be cool. And so but that kind of thing. I feel like i was always trying to impress other people instead of trying to represent myself. Honestly i also feel like i've spent a lot of time doing things that i necessarily wasn't i wasn't necessarily into but my friends were or people who i wanted to think i was cool and so i think it did hinder my ability to be authentic but also it gave me an invaluable skill. Set where. I think that people who are like that i call them. Androids versus chameleons an android is somebody who has always themselves no matter what the situation. You probably have friends like that so he can barely take them anywhere. 'cause like it. Let's say they have crass sense of humor and you'll be in a business situation and then they'll tell a joke you but what the fuck is wrong with. This is not the time and place for that. Or there's somebody who's just always really quiet but then it's time for them to pitch and then they speak like they're still in a cafe with one person everyone like what are you doing. That's not you can't talk like that. Got gotta be loud. You gotta be stronger. And so i call those people androids

"Outcomes of that all of the like fears and shame and whatever that i had in toronto. You know like sometimes when you go traveling. You're almost running away from something like oh. I didn't have a as many friends as i wanted or like. Some of my relationships didn't work out. Or whatever and so i had to kind of come back and face all that this the city where i got beat up over there and this is the city where this embarrassing and humiliating thing happened to me or the the city where i was to way too into that girl and she never called me back or whatever those things were a and then of course deeper things that you know all sorts of emotional pains that are associated with where you live and i kind of had to face all that and for the first time in my life. I started to therapy with the intention of like. Oh i i. I should do this. Not my mom is making me or whatever that is and started. Meditating in order to like help might injury recovery and then i started realizing most of the stuff that is hurting me or holding me back is kind of my own my own emotional problems and as i- unblock these things are getting better and the more i block certain things became reeler with myself and reeler with other people and more who i was and less worried about pleasing other people impressing other people in more worried about. What am i interested in. what do i like. What's what's exciting to me out loud kind of came up from that. Where nikki my co-founder invited me to come. Watch some work that she was doing at. Ut which was helping students with science students with their research presentations. And i went. And i looked and i went. That's what i do in my english class. Because what. I was doing in my english class in spain and in china and in canada where i taught as well i was not just teaching kids or adults grammar and vocabulary and pronunciation. It was so much more than that without realizing it. I was using all these acting techniques that i've learned that feeder school in in my career so instead of just saying hey i would like to go to the bus stop and just making sure that they that their pronunciation and syntax and everything was good. I would say okay. Let's role play it. I'm the bus driver. I want you to tell me. Where's the bus stop. And i'd get them. If you raise your eyebrows it sounds more engaging and if you slow down emphasize than it really gives me a chance to understand the words even if pronouncing them correctly if you speak too fast i won't get it and if you smile when you first come up. I used to give them homework. I'd say go to a stranger. I was working with people in toronto. And i would say go to a stranger and say hi. I'm an english student. And i'm doing some homework. Can i ask you some questions for english teacher. And all these kids using all the things. I learned as a foreigner in these other countries trying to make friends and try to approach people. I realized that everything that nikki was doing to give them confidence to give them more communication skills. These were things that i would do in my own classes. So i just went. There's a business here we should. We should collaborate and we should. We should do our work for professionals business professionals and we just hashed it out over a couple meetings. We picked a name We got a website and then off we went and we were really lucky to get some great referrals and some great opportunities right off the bat that kind of that that got us going in. And now we're expanding hiring new coaches and and just starting to scale so that's how that came about. Let me ask you a different question. Short why are we as human beings so bad at communicating. And why do we is there. So little of teaching communication in school very good questions and one that i often baffled by to the first question of wire human so bad at it i think it actually relates the second question partly which is why do we not teach the stuff but it's also that we are not evolved to communicate in the ways that we do now. We have to communicate first of all with way more people than we were ever evolved to. We revolve to communicate to about one hundred fifty tribes members. There's that number. I often reference in my work called the dunbar number. Which was how they figured out that. Most human tribes arrange themselves in about one hundred and fifty members and that's not too many relationships to manage it certainly a lot but it's not too many but nowadays especially in the social media era but in general. We have way too many people that we come across that means that culturally there are different ways of communicating. There are you don't know necessarily what power balance to strike. Should i be. Should i believe in this conversation. Should they be leading this conversation. What's respectful and there are so many variables that were not equipped to deal with that. We just kind of go nuts. The other thing that happens is that human beings are anxious by nature. And i read a great thing by elaine. Devoto who said basically that anyone who wasn't anxious back in the day didn't survive because they got eaten or they didn't strike out to find new food and then they just they didn't pass their genes on so all of our ancestors were anxious. People and anxiety is a true enemy of communication because anxiety tells you something's wrong stop find the danger whereas the danger coming from identify. The danger is this. No but maybe it's that and so if you're trying to talk to somebody and all those voices on alarm bells are flaring in your head. You're never gonna speak effectively and you're never gonna be able to communicate with them. Because you're just your brain's going to be fucking going nuts. And so. I think that our proclivity towards anxiety our evolution our instinct that keeps us in anxiety all the time the fact that we're communicating with too many different

"Who i think you know as well craig He's ceo of gogi so he was my co founder on my first venture but i didn't think i didn't think about these terms. I never thought of entrepreneurship is something you know. It's interesting like unlike a lot of families. I come from a family of artists who went into business and now my family thinks it's weird rather than like a lot of actors that i knew at your school whose families would have preferred preferred them to go into Into business or into the private sector and and get a job they will want to be artists. I almost have this weird back backwards experience when when i sort of quit acting and started to go into business. My whole family's kind of like okay. You know what what are you doing that. And they're great. I mean i'm not trying to complain but they don't really get it or you know and it's still a little weird and the conversation is my my sister when she talks about her work. It's a lot easier for my parents to relate. When i talk on having problems in the back end and you know my email. Marketing campaign is having bugs. My family's kind of like okay. And then my sister's like we're doing this play about a one woman show and my parents are like and what's the emotional arc of the care. You know what i mean like. There's so much there's such a artistic dialogue and vocabulary my family so when i started this company it was lucas. The ceo of go. Who i mentioned. He had an idea because he'd been to china with his now wife. Natalie natalie's as English teachers originally gone when they're eighteen and he saw the lack of like native english speaking foreign teachers and how difficult it was for these chinese companies to hire native teachers and provide them with enough incentive to stay so the thought was if we can go and create our own school that is owned and taught by native english. Speaking canadians in canada was a big is a big destination for a lot of chinese universities. high school students want to go to university. You have to your upc and so we thought if we can go start a school there. We've kind of got everything covered as we can run it ourselves but also will be will be the talent as well as the As well as the owners. I didn't even know what entrepreneurship meant. Really back then. I just thought okay. I'm an english teacher. And i get to own part of this company. I didn't even really appreciate what that. But i i knew that it meant like okay. Wa- make more money. Probably if i just work regular contract hopefully maybe didn't understand the kind of risk that it takes to get involved. Which i probably wouldn't have done it if i had and then we went. We had seven co-founders and we had no agreements like official agreements. We had no clearly defined roles at as what our responsibilities were. it was a complete shit show. It was amazing. And i learned so much but it was a complete from from a startup perspective. Who was a complete shit show. Yes so we went to china and we are all learning. None of us knew what took start a company as we made every mistake in the book. But it was a great great learning experience. And the company eventually eventually just kinda died on the vine because you know people left and went on to other projects. The people who stayed there pivoted to this new venture go. Gee now which is doing great and certainly but yeah. It's just so it's one of those things where the startup kind of failed because the out. We didn't know what we're doing. But it was great learning experience and and i feel like set the stage for for what we're all doing now. When did you decide out loud speaker school. You know you and nikki co-founded when did that happen. Was it a discussion like was it natural. Yes so in in china when we are doing this this Working for this company. You know we were working the insane hours that it takes to to start up and I was under tremendous stress and kind of sitting all day on my laptop driving my e bike around the city. I starting in theater school. I would suffer from back pain. And then in twenty fifteen in the summer twenty fifteen. I got sciatica. I didn't even know what it was. But i got sciatica in my a left leg i believe it was or i can't quite remember but it was the worst pain i've ever had and after about two weeks trying to go to doctors in china and trying to i couldn't walk. I couldn't really do anything except take drugs and go to the bathroom. And i was being taken care of my ex girlfriend who was living there. Finally my mom said listen. Just come home. You can't fix this out there. Come home like get surgery or whatever it is that you need to do come home And then you can go back out there. Resume your work. And so i honestly thought i would go home. I would get a surgery. And i go back and keep working for this company but when i got home the which is a whole other story how i got home it was it was so intense because of my inability to walk or to carry my own luggage or two but yeah. That's a story for another time. But once i got home the doctors were like. Oh you're not going anywhere. Because they realized i had a massive discrimination causing sciatica and they're like this is gonna take you to six months to even start to walk again. It did and then started taking even longer so eventually i had to quit that company and then i was kinda home. I went from being the co founder of a company in china with a girl friend that i was living without their my own apartment and then i came home and i was back living my mum's couch and she was helping me get dressed in eat. So is this horrible. Kind of fall from grace or fall from an independent life. Where i felt i was doing something cool and and you know. Living abroad is amazing. Because as you know it every day you're challenged and it's kind of really great stimulating and you feel like you're living so much life. And then i just back in toronto and injured and unable to take care of myself and broke and on opioids rough Fall and over. The course of that time i had to kind of face some demons my brother

"You can't really make your own work without writing and so if you're just an actor there's no control of your career. It's all in the hands of other people to create something for you to act. And i think what i love so much about. Being an entrepreneur now is is the idea of self creating and creating your own opportunities and building something for yourself and you know calling your own shots and making your own hours and choosing who to work with who not to work with. I love all that about being an entrepreneur. And it's something that a lot of actors really struggle with and i certainly struggled hated the lack of autonomy that that's a lifestyle so i quit. I quit acting basic. And at what point did you leave. Canada and do Travel the world. I know you've been in latin america a little bit and In asia in two thousand and two thousand twelve. I went to spain with a couple of buddies of mine. We we we were like. Let's you know we were planning this kind of like friends trip As it turned out it was kind of one of those things where we all had different reasons for being there so we all split off but for me is i wanted to learn languages. I've been interested in learning languages. And i could never really learn french in school. So for some reason. As i learn spanish i like the language i knew. It wasn't as difficult to some other languages. English speakers and i just been to cuba and the dominican before on vacation with my family and i was just like i really like this language. I want to be able to communicate with spanish speakers so we chose spain. And i was like okay. Well i don't have any money to to live here. So i had to get a job and so we decided to become english teachers and get do that. Whole teach abroad thing. And so i got my english teaching certificate and then my friend bought a plane ticket to barcelona. We're like okay. We'll find work once we get there because we couldn't figure it out from toronto so eventually we're like fuck it. Let's just go so we hopped on a plane to barcelona and then four days later we got a job interview in madrid so we took all our stuff and went to madrid and had this interview and then we got jobs in and set ourselves up. So i lived. I lived in madrid for about six months. And i realized that i actually like teaching and then so i moved to a small town for a teaching position and also to kind of get more immersed the language. So then yeah. I managed to learn spanish after a year and a half and become pretty comfortable with the language which was like a bucket list thing for me and that was sort of the next phase. He did better than me. I worked in mexico for two and a half years. And i only picked up a few words here there. At what point did you know while. Actually we have a question in the chat rooms before we switch gears into your entrepreneurship. Sure we have a question here. Why do so. Many actors seemed to struggle underneath glamorous facade of acting great question and i think probably because the facade is so glamorous right. It's the the the disconnect between reality and expectations. It's something that now. Everybody's learning with social media if you feel like you have to live up to some impossible standard of beauty or confidence. It's not real. It's not who we are as people what you see. You know what we see on television. It's it's been edited it's been written. It's been you make up and the best hairdressers in slick haircuts in good clothes which you know you can have real-life or whatever but it's not who we are when we roll out of bed and so that's that's why i think a lot of people. Struggle is the disconnect. And i think a lot of human being's struggle with this two now about they think everybody else in life always looks good and has a nice condo and watch youtuber. Who's got this condo. And everything's clean. Dad they fucking did the dishes for the video. Not what their kitchen looks like normal. You know right now. I have like a pile of stuff shoved up against the table so that you can't see it in the background. It may look like you know the thing behind me is nice and clean and set up. But that's not the whole room. The disconnect between reality and an expectation. I think just creates a cognitive dissonance in an emotional disappointment that That i think a lot of actors struggled because they think they're supposed to be there. Supposed to be the luckiest people in the world. There's like to be an actor in our society is supposed to be like you have the best life. That's what i wanna do. I wish i get paid to do nothing. Whatever but you know it's not it's not like that all the time and i'm not saying it's the heart it's a harder job than most jobs because it's not. I know it. I've done it. It's not You do get paid way too much for how hard you work. But there's certainly a sense that people that they think it's great and it's not necessarily or how you look on camera is not who you are in real life and so all those disconnects between reality and and the facade i think make you know makes people's Mental health suffer so point.

"When did you have time to take never mind school but acting school. When did that happen that. So i i only went to acting school like i did camps here and there but i never really had any classes until i went to school when i was nineteen i went to. I went to one year of normal university But i was always the plan to go to feeder school My sister had gone to this theater. School montreal and i was it was supposed to be the best in canada's called national feeder school. My dad had worked there so again. There is this kind of family legacy there. And i think maybe that gave me the confidence to be like well. My sister goes there. My dad taught there. Like i certainly didn't wanna lean on that. I wanted to get in my own merits. But i definitely had confidence that. I'm sure a lot of people that that was a privilege. A lot of people lacked which was. Yeah just that kind of sense of like you know if my sister can be here. I could probably be hearing that sort of thing. And i should say i did. I did definitely Benefit from having my last name In the theater scene toronto because people knew my dad they knew my mom and they knew my older sister. So i would say probably had a lot of unfair benefits little things of people recognizing me and just that little sense of like. Oh hey how's it going to know your sister and you know that not everybody gets so yeah. I think i was lucky in that regard and i managed to get into to the to the acting program and then i started taking real because i thought okay. If i'm going to be an actor. I need real training. I don't want to just be some flash in the pan who doesn't shitty movies. I would like to be a real actor and and really do interesting roles and be well respected in respect my own work and all that sort of thing so then i went to feeder school but as you and i have talked before that did not go as planned and that was not fun. So when did you decide that acting really. Wasn't you long term career path. Not that you were going to ban it completely. Because he's still do it. But when did you switch your focus theatre school during my experience. They're slowly to put it in context. My brother had passed away two years before i went to feeder school and i was still very much in grief in reeling from that I was really just grief-stricken depressed. And and not not like thrown for a loop and i was still figuring who i was because he died when i was seventeen. And you know when that kind of thing happens you sort of a lot of people talk about this when you have a dramatic sort of experience that it almost sort of freezes your development and you know when something like that happens to and you don't really know who you are yet your teenager figure things out so i kinda went to feeder school very much angry and depressed and defensive and i wasn't comfortable with who i was. I was still trying to figure that out. I didn't really go in the best state but a lot of my classmates. Interestingly were were had similar pain or for or difficulties in their lives we we were always joked around. The we are like you know this damaged bunch of kids when we got in there and the administration the way that this was before me to before people started thinking about power structures especially in school not just being like dude what the fuck i say otherwise. You're kicked out that. That was the dynamic when i was still a feeder school. And that's only started changing. I think because of the metoo movement and because of like there was some big letters that came out of different feeder schools. At george brown ryerson in toronto and there. Was this sort of conversation about like you know borderline abuse or actual abuse of students but there was there had been reckoning kind of culturally at that point so it was very much like shut the fuck up and do what we say. And if you don't were going to make you and so there was eating disorders and nervous breakdowns and suicide. I don't know whether you'd call them. Attempts but suicide threats and all this kind of stuff happening while i was at school and it was a very toxic mental environment and the people who are running ahead. No idea what they were doing. In in terms of taking care of the mental health of their their students again. This was before there was a culture of understanding around those issues. So i don't totally blame them because if you don't know you don't know but But it was not good not good for my mental health. It was not good for the mental health of my my classmates and the whole experience just really jaded me. I was like i don't want any part of this industry anymore. I was also. I think probably at that time i was coming up with the limits of the lack of control that you have as an actor. You have to wait for an audition more or less. This is usually how it goes. You wait for an audition you say. Hey please hire me. Most of the time they. That's just the normal thing and then you gotta wait for the next one and luckily. Hopefully you're doing like several week in you're in the rhythm and then you start books and stuff but you can't just say like i'm going to create my own work. If you wanna do that you have to write or you have to produce or you have to direct right Other than that. You can't really make your own work

"I i think. I was offered a role where i got a rule after additioning in a in a film with anna. Pack when that was going to be shot in la. And i didn't end up going and doing it. And there was also some offers. I think from some talent agents who suggested that i moved to la and they would represent me down there. But i had two siblings and my mother said no. We're not going to transplant the whole family for this. Like you know stage mom dream or this So she she made sure that i had a real child at even. Though i was out of school a lot filming i was still had a relatively normal childhood and certainly in my high school years i finally went to school with some consistency and managed to make friend group and start to feel like have a normal childhood so my mom kind of kept me humble. I think if i ever started to get diva ish onset like my mom would always say. Pick up your clothes so you go into the trailer in your. Your clothes are hung up unfolded nicely for you and then you put on your clothes. And that's your costume and then when you're done you put your street clothes back so if i ever would leave them in a pile mom would say my dad too. If he was there he would say they would say. Hang your clothes back up. Full them for the people. It's it's you know it's nicer if you can just fold your clothes for them not leave them in piles on the floor so they have to like they have to do it. That's respectful to do if somebody brings you something say thank you. You can't have whatever you want. You can't drink a pop every day and just like have to coast as a seven year old kid there's bins of of coca cola sprite Just on ice. And there's all this candy to to not take advantage of that was crazy to me but luckily my mom was really strict in a good way about all that stuff and i think she kind of kept me with my head on as as tight as it could be And the fact that that I never really went to l. a. And did that whole thing. I think that kept me more or less grounded. I also got kids made fun of me a lot for being on tv. So i didn't think about it as the i wasn't like worshipped by my peers. They would like they would like rat. Rip on me and rag on me so it wasn't like not everybody was. I'd be like you're so cool. People were lose lose on tv so it didn't give me a swelled head at all. Because i was like oh. It's not that cool but yeah yeah i don't know i. I don't know if that answers the question. Well but i. I think i was probably i was really confident because but i was also what it made me do as well and i Dissected this lot it made me go into a room and try to gauge. What people wanted me to be and how they wanted me to act. Because that's the audition process. You go into a room and you. What do you want me to be. Not who am i but but what what. What can i be that you want. What's to get me the role. How can i be charming and and work the room and and make the right impression which to this day. I struggle with still doing still when i come into a room full of people. I kind of go okay. What's the play here. what's the angle. How can i make a good impression. So that i can get get something out of these people and i have to kind of check myself and go. That's not actually the way that i want to interact with other human beings. I want to try to make a real connection before there's some kind of transactional benefit for being nice or being warm or whatever. I wanna try to see if i can be real and be myself without being the ceo of a company or an actor or or without having any angle just like. Hey are you a cool person as well. Maybe we can chat. And so that's something. I still struggle with is as you said being on trying not to be on all the time trying to be a little more authentic. I guess there's some of that. But i i feel i people expect you to be on. And they're disappointed when you're authentic that becomes a whole other Sure but what you can do what i call it in my work when i talk to clients about this finding your authentic stage presence. The idea being that authenticity is sometimes boring to watch. If you were exactly right now. We're talking on a podcast. If we were just talking at like we were kind of hanging out. It might not be very interesting to listen to because we might wake some weird inside jokes and we might mumble a little more. We might not really try to come up with anything to interesting or go all that deep when we're talking about ourselves right so there has to be some kind of heightened aspect to you're talking when you're doing a podcast or when you're in a sales pitch or giving an investor pitch so i call it authentic saint stage presence. So how can you be as much of yourself but still honor the fact that you have to be interesting to your audience in order to get your message across and to make a good impression. So that's kind of it's almost like a push. Pull that i work on. I also call it heightened conversation that sorta speaking style like. How can you not be boring. But still be real. That's the work definitely. It's not easy as appear no not at all if you started acting at seven. When did you have time to

"It was the most fun thing. It was awesome at the age of seven. I was gonna film. Said i was getting all the free food but i also fascinated with how the cameras worked. I loved learning my lines. I was good at learning lines. For some reason. I could just remember what i had to say and it was just so much fun and then i just kept doing it and the parts kept coming. The audition kept coming. And so i just had this this career ever since i was seven years old doing film and television. Now you've got a number of acting credit. And i don't know which one of these are more popular than others but i recognize some of the names like life with derek little mosque on the prairie earth final conflict and many more. And then you've voice characters like characters inaccessible greed and immortals phoenix. I think it is but it's spelt spell weird. Yeah it is definitely do any of these stand out in your memory above any of the other ones. And if so why yeah. It's it's interesting. You mentioned the gap between when you do at a job when film something and then when it comes out and i think that that's also an interesting disconnect as a film and television actors. You kind of go in you do this job. Forget about it when it goes into postproduction for however long that takes right which is months at least so. It's very funny where you go in you work. You have the experience and you meet these people you work with them and then you kind of just forget about it and then like a year later. This final product comes out and very often. You don't even really recognize your work in what you did. It's also very collaborative. So what you thought was your best seen. Maybe all the people in the editing room thought that it didn't look good so they used another scene in not seen. You weren't really paying attention you you were not very confidence. You're acting looks like shit in this scene because you don't have control over. What makes it to the final cut. So yeah i mean in terms of the job that first thing stood out because it was just so intense. I did a show called screech. Owls when i was twelve years old when i played the lead for anybody who's ever read screech owls. It was a canadian series about a hockey team at solves mysteries. And i it was my shit as a kid. I read these books religiously and then i got the part of travis the main character and it was a complete dream come true. The show ended up not doing very well. We did two seasons and got cancelled. There wasn't wasn't a great show but You know it was really fun working on that. And i got to play hockey and that was really really fun. And then in terms of things that stood out for what they became life with their get ended up becoming quite popular show. And i would get recognized from it so that may be had the biggest impact on my life. That's the little taste. I would have had a celebrity or whatever celebrity feels like. I've had people recognize me from that show a lot. Even though they don't know who the hell. I am or my name. They just know my character so they'll be like sheldon slipper and that that's my by That's the kind of fractional experience of what it must be like to be famous. That i've had and certainly enough to know that i do not like it. Faranoff been Yeah just to sidetracked here for bid. A kevin smith tells the story of working with john. Maclean what's his name. loses me. Now bruce willis iheart bruce willis. Thank you bruce willis and the standing on the corner and they're talking and some academy drive by and someone yelled. Hey john maclean. And bruce willis because like this and it's like what what people worship unit. He's like thirty years of this man thirty years. Can you imagine. I can't even. I couldn't even take a couple years of it. Like and some people deal with a gracefully. But i honestly believe that fame is probably one of the weirdest and most detrimental things for your mental health that you could possibly do. You know. I've never really been truly famous so i don't. I don't actually know the people who i know who have been through it and what. I've observed and friends of mine who are now getting whether through music or acting When i talk to them about it people who become recognizable in public. It's just not a fun experience for anyone. I know who had to deal with it. They don't like it. It's like a necessary evil. I guess that comes with the the prestige. You get of being a celebrity or being recognizable as you get to choose your work. more carefully. and i'm sure in our entrepreneurial industry to like people like simon sinek or gary v or these these kind of star entrepreneurs they get to they get invited to awesome things and they get they get charge way more than we would all get to charge and all that sort of stuff but yeah there is certainly a price to be paid for that Influence in that success. And i think that's what you pay. The true price is just the lack of the loss of anonymity that you get. You can't just go out and the person in public you have to deal with people screaming at you or even if it's positive it doesn't really matter. It's it's it's it's an. It's no way to relate to strangers. Were not evolved to relate to each other like this if you think about how we were evolved. There's not suppo- hosts there's nothing in our evolution that deals with knowing someone before ever meeting them or being that person yeah and also being on all the time and other people are familiar with you. And you're not familiar with them and you're just out doing whatever grocery shopping and of sudden people expect you to be on or whatever because it's like hey. You're this person i'm very minor. It's i like we do events all the time and you know people want to come up to you and they want to meet me after a while you just wanna close and you wanna be left alone. And and that's just at a micro level so we've all heard the stories of childhood. Tv actors. What were you like growing up for you. A handful with the parents of actors.

Why don't we get started with telling us out loud speaker school so loudspeaker. School is a agency of actors teaching public speaking and communication skills and we focused a lot on entrepreneurs in their pitches. And that's still a big chunk of the work that we do. So we work with techstars and dmz and all these startup accelerators that helping them prepare for their demo day but also giving them the skills to be able to pitch their business throughout the whole life cycle of their business right so not just an investor pitch but really understanding. How do you talk about yourself and your ideas. In a way that captures people's attention and hearts and minds but then we also do that work for corporate people anybody making a presentation or anybody trying to get a promotion or anybody trying to sell themselves as a freelancer. They have a story and they have a story both about who they are but about what they do and why they do it. And so for us the powerful pitch which is the name of one of our flagship courses. The powerful pige boot camp the power-pitch program just different iterations of that is all about getting super clear on who you are what you do and why you do it.

And it's a little bit of a different story with you. Because i took a look at your. Imdb or in two movies and tvs episode when you were nine. Never mind when they were filmed. Those are when they're out. How old were you when you began acting. I started acting at seven years old. My father was an actor. My mother was a playwright.

So, yes, more parks more urban parks is also very important and again, as I mentioned earlier. We're all seeing and feeling and knowing this as a result of our research and still in I'm what covert experience. Are there any stats out there yet? Or any strong movement out there yet to deal with and to encourage enhancement of our parks? It's a structure that you're saying so lunch, especially in urban areas. Yeah, well, I'll say many states have a park equity programs and park acted equity policies where they're really realizing that, uh, that there are problems if we don't have a good public transportation system, and our state park system is out, you know, far away from where cities are built, which was how they were built by design. Then you don't have equal access and opportunity for people to go to parks. So there's definitely a lot of movement. I'll stay here in California where I live we're doing. The state is doing mapping of looking at low income communities and communities that don't have Some of those chronic disease, health inequities, and they're actually placing parts more specifically in those neighborhoods.

"With it because no one knew they address this. Let's listen to can't have a mandate under emergency use authorization for these vaccines. What is the timetable at least particularly with modern adviser here generally when we should expect this to go from emergency use to formal approval. That is not a timetable. That's been precisely just yet. I or herman int- approval. You need a certain number of months of follow up to look at any possible late safety signals. There have not been any for pfizer and moderna but fda is not quite there yet. I think that's question for fda about win. Will they say this is enough. They need some other data. Also it's kinda nitty-gritty technical stuff about manufacturing adam has to be provided but we're not there. We will get there in the next few months time. I think if private organizations decide they want to put forward a mandate I'm not going to disagree with their approach after all vaccines are good for you. I'm certainly encouraging everybody who works for me at the national institutes of health to get vaccinated. But i'm not mandating. It think about it though in future though for particularly for people who are in healthcare and have interactions with vulnerable patients. That we have been able to go in the direction of saying. You should get your flu shot. I suspect the same will need to be the case for covid once. We're at the point where we no longer have this block about it. Being emergency use people who are involved in healthcare expect. That's where we're going. So what he's saying is beaucaire who cares. Just go get it. But the trials are not slated to end until twenty twenty. Three this is. This is pretty well. No knowledge No oh yeah this all the documents. It's all nobody reads that. I've never i've never heard expressed by these guys on. Meet the press well. I never heard about animal trials. You're probably not going to ever hear it because we've lost something very important in the long term studies of these of these vaccines and these are not just willy nilly studies. These are studies that need to be done and completed in the proper way to get to that full authorization or at least. That's what is supposed to happen. That's what the processes but turns out. We've lost the control group. The control group is the people who did not receive the vaccination received a placebo to see how they do versus all the other people down the line that is that is the correct way to perform a long-term study vaccine scientists. Hope that the volunteers will stay in this study for two years. Participants provide periodic knows swabs and sometimes samples to see if they've been infected and they also give blood so scientists can better understand how the vaccine is providing protection. Motte was one of about six hundred and fifty volunteers who took the experimental vaccine at a company called johnson. County clinical trials in lenexa kansas. Dr carlos ferro who runs the study there says every participant was called back after the food and drug administration authorized. The vaccine during that visit. We discussed The options which included staying the study without receiving the vaccine and amazingly there were people a couple of people who chose that he suspects. Those individuals got spooked by rumors about the vaccine. But everybody else who had. The placebo shot went ahead and got the actual vaccine so now. Fear has essentially no comparison group left for the ongoing site. It's a loss from a scientific standpoint but given the circumstances. I think it's the right thing to do. Are you kidding me. Given the circumstances of the same guys who pounded drum for science pound pound science or science and this is science to them. Given the circumstances it was the right thing to do to lose the control group so they can't possibly effectively determine coach over the whole studies dead. It's no good and there may be good reason for that because a lot of weird crap happening so weird in fact. This is happening in florida. A new challenge and the race to vaccinate a private school in miami says it won't employ teachers who get the shot an email to staff stating if you want to get the vaccine. Please wait until the school year ends and you will not be able to return to school until clinical trials are complete if a position is still available at that time. This is completely irresponsible is spreading rumors about something that is completely unfounded. The school's policy is based on false claims about the vaccine. Some parents say is too late to pull their kids out because they already paid the thirty thousand dollar tuition flabbergasted. I was wondering if it was even legal. The schools co says we vaccinate people to be near our students until more information is known. Just man are you gonna to run into the northrop clips northrop now. Northrop is what. That's about 'cause i i've got to follow up to what you just played. No i need. I need to go in here now. Is this about gay. Is this a what is what is the north clips are what is the. It's the core rationale for keeping the kids away from the vaccinated. Keep the teachers Okay let's let's do that whereas it well first of all. i have to play a prelude clip. Which is this clip. Which is a nutball podcast or going on about stuff. And this is the pie says poss- on kovic shot and then we go to the christiane northrup clips by the way. You play the podcast. So this was opposed. Post that i saw on facebook. This start to actually for me realizing that something was going on so like i said it's anecdotes but someone posted this and it said. Hundreds of thousands of women are reporting having very unusual menstrual cycles. After being around someone who took the job multiple periods in just one month blood clots excruciating pain. Not having a period at all and even women in menopause are now starting to bleed which usually indicates cancer. I'm gonna pause right there and ask you guys if you remember i. Pet goat is circa. Two thousand three. I think was the first time i saw it. It blew everybody away. It's a prophetically strange channeled piece of art the author and creator of even said. He doesn't even know why he created what he created. It just came to him and there is a pretty significant moment in that where an elderly woman is struck by something spiritually profound. It seems and starts bleeding again. And i just kept thinking of that scene when i was reading this but anyways i just wanted to throw that out there for those of you who know so people women. Menopause are now starting to bleed which usually indicates cancer. I having had priests cervical cancer. No that that's true. Also of other women who just bleed at random times used to cancer and other the carrying like crazy miscarriages are up. Four hundred percent okay. Stop before and i'm not gonna do any clips you go straight into it because i think we disagree on this. I'm basing that on an email thread. That went back and forth. Good i hope so but this woman you just played is the exactly kind of screwball. That comes on and just goes nuts or something..
