You're Fired
Season 2 Finale! YOU PEOPLE. Thank YOU so much for sticking with me through this journey. I don't have plans to do much on this platform after this episode, but who knows! You never know...  This is my real, real real-time story. Coming to you from something that only just recently happened to me. A real dump in the mud story, turned into, "Hey, well, I'm an actor, and the world is only telling me that more and more as my life goes on." This is for your inspo Wednesday, and although I don't have an "end" to this story just yet (as it's only still just happening), it goes to show you proof how things are really working in your favor, always. Trust the journey, trust the process. Have tequila and dance it out.  Are we Instagram mates yet? https://www.instagram.com/classcity/ Credits: www.imdb.me/cassidiparker www.cassidiparker.com Please rate and review this podcast when you're done!

Influencing the World
We are already coming to a close on this season of the podcast. This season is shorter than the first, I know, but much longer in time altogether.  Let me introduce you to Instagram-er, You Tube-er, video and graphic creator, as well as now Podcaster Murs Alison! I love this episode because Murs really breaks down that word we all love, "Influencer," and opens up about the actual human behind the profile. He opens up about how challenging it was being a young person in that very new industry that has now skyrocketed so many people's lives, and how much work and personal growth went into it, and still does. A major planner of every detail himself, he also tells his two most spontaneous stories of his life that are now his most cherished possessions, even though he didn't plan for any of it.  https://www.instagram.com/mursalison/ https://www.mursalison.com/ https://www.youtube.com/mursalison Are we Instagram mates yet? https://www.instagram.com/classcity/ Credits: www.imdb.me/cassidiparker www.cassidiparker.com Please rate and review this podcast when you're done!

Casting Turned Matching
Amy De Souza and I met when she had a clients that she thought would be interested in going on a date with me. And although the date didn't turn into a second or third, Amy and I have been a 'match made in heaven' ever since. She is, like most CD's, obsessed with actors and respect the hell out of the craft and the life we live. Coming from an entertainment family and a background in acting herself, she has had every type of job in this industry. From actor to PA for a costumer to working for breakdowns to casting to nannying... her career has now taken her into matching not actors, but real humans in real relationships. Listen to her story of how her background in casting fits so well into what she does now and how she can still see right through the BS.  Are we Instagram mates yet? https://www.instagram.com/classcity/ Credits: www.imdb.me/cassidiparker www.cassidiparker.com Please rate and review this podcast when you're done!

Stop, Drop and Rolll with the Punches
Cheers to the 4th episode of Before You Know My Name - Tales from the Middle of an Actor's Success... turned Before You Know Our Names - Tales from the Middle of Success. With the tale of all tales coming at you here from the one and only Colleen Foy of many many TV shows and movies and head coach of Stan Kirsch Studios. Colleen so generously opens up about being dropped by ALL of her reps within a week, but how letting go of what apparently wasn't meant for her, allowed her to bring in what she really wanted and was truly meant for her, get this.... in the same week! If you're at all spiritual, you'll eat everything that Colleen talks about up! Also, catch her on NEARLY EVERY EPISODE of Station 19 recently as the hot girl next door even in a mask (literally), Inara.

Foster Your Way to the Top!
Welcome back to Before You Know My Name - Tales from the Middle of an Actor's Success... turned Before You Know Our Names - Tales from the Middle of Success. Get ready to laugh. Griffin has so much goodness to share with you here, and the world in general, but basically I would want to have him around ALL OF THE TIME because he's just that funny ALL OF THE TIME. Griffin and I met on the set of Dear White People and became instant friends, due to our sassy nature, Pittsburgh and musical theatre background. Griffin is currently a regular on The Flight Attendant (HBO Max, CHECK IT OUT - SOOO GOOD!), a daddy, a zaddy and a beacon of light in the musical theatre world. We talk about how having children was the thing that skyrocketed his career, and what that transition means as an artist.

Good is the Enemy of Great
WELCOME BACK!!  I'm so excited to share with you my new version of season 2 of Before You Know My Name - Tales from the Middle of an Actor's Success... Before You Know Our Names - Tales from the Middle of Success. This episode I talk to ager/dyer expert, currently on Seal Team, Sweta and I talk about her choice to dream big and not to settle, even when she had it "all good." Now, no one dreams bigger than Sweta, and she is here to stand on the shoulders of her immigrant parents, and ready to shoulder the other people that are coming up behind her in the arts as well. She tells the story of 'coming back home' to herself and is a complete literal inspiration to the whole, "luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity." Buckle up for this ride! Sweta is way too cool for social media, so you'll just have to wait till she becomes a famous astronaut suit creator to know even more about her.

How I Turned a Bad Breakup, into My 1st Film
Ok, I know I talk about breakups on here A LOT, but unfortunately they've hit me hard over the past few years. I had a lot to learn, and the other person had A LOT to learn too (lol! :D). However fortunately, specifically with this story, something I've ALWAYS done is turn lemons into lemonade. Listen to how I turned a really sad, humiliating and just down-right unfair situation, into one of my greatest strengths. #levelup These are my last few episodes for this season, but in the meantime, download and follow me @ClassCity verified on the Stereo App now, to hear my content created specifically for this new app, in the form of talks with other cool creatives like me!
