STAGE 32 BLOG POST:
THE POWER OF SILENCE
“Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
– Steve Jobs
We all crave feedback. We want it from our partners, parents, co-workers, and teachers. Need I even mention social media. We want our parents to be proud of us, our bosses to appreciate us, and our partners to love us.
Stage32 Blog Post:
LESS WOO AND MORE DO
"It is better to take many small steps in the right direction than to make a great leap forward only to stumble backward."
- Chinese proverb
As actors, we all have huge dreams and aspirations: one day winning an Oscar, being on a Broadway stage, getting into Marvel-ready shape, or getting that top-tier agent. For better or worse, we think big and relentlessly pursue our goals. We sprint towards them, stumble, pick ourselves back up, run again, fall, cry, take a few more steps, sometimes retreat, sometimes pause, jog a little, take a breather, or jump the tracks.
Mentor Nation Podcast
I recently had the opportunity to be interviewed by John Abbas on his podcast “Mentor Nation”.
Abbas: In this episode I interview Ava Paloma. Ava is an actress, writer and producer and she just had a huge breakout year ending 2021 with two feature films that she starred in releasing at almost the same time. The first film is Deadlock starring Ava and Bruce Willis and the 2nd is The Scrapper. In this interview Ava shares her story, why the road to success takes time and patience, and then we talk about her big year including an absolutely crazy story on how she ended up starring in Deadlock. This whole interview is just full of wisdom and it’s so exciting to pull back the curtain on making full feature length films to reveal a sneak peak of that world.
