REVISIT EP 205: Adventure is My Favorite Word with Tommy Coleman

The Artist Pivot

Today we are going to revisit Episode 205, where I sat down with the multi-talented Tommy Coleman – an actor, voice-over artist, and educator. Tommy opens up about the rigorous demands of the industry and the wisdom of setting aside that critical 1% for oneself to avoid the dreaded burnout. He shares his journey through the pandemic and we have a meaningful conversation about growth and personal investment.

Tommy's career has been a kaleidoscope of pivots—from an MA in musical theater performance in Scotland to small screen appearances and commercial voice overs in the States. Yet, it's his adaptability and desire to give back through teaching that resonates in this discussion. How an overlooked student reminded him of the impact and purpose of his work, teaching us all to be ready for opportunities to bloom.

As always, we'll uncover insights and advice for fellow creatives, learning from Tommy's journey to seize those sunlit moments in life. So tune in, soak up his experiences, and maybe find a pivot of your own.
