In this month's interview, I have a conversation with actor James Chen. James has appeared in over 40 films and TV shows, including The Walking Dead, Run The World, and Marvel's Iron Fist. He's an empathetic and hardworking individual whose work I greatly admire. I'm so happy that we had this interview!James talks about his impressive list of acting projects, the obstacles he's faced as an actor, the beauty of being vulnerable, and much more. This is a deep conversation that encouraged me to leave my comfort zone more often and stay true to my values. Please enjoy!

Welcome to the first episode of Fantastically Large Lives! This podcast has been a secret passion project of mine for a while. I'm so happy that I can finally share it with the world!My first guest is Bethanie Frank, a teacher at International Virtual Learning Academy who's currently based in Oklahoma. Bethanie was my drama teacher in high school. When I met her, I was instantly enamoured with her positivity. She enthusiastically introduced me to the world of screenwriting, encouraged me to watch David Mamet's films, and cheered me on when I needed a boost of confidence. The impact she had on me was significant, so much so that I ended up writing an entire essay for the school blog on why she's an incredible teacher. This was over six years ago. Six year later, I had the honour of talking with her about adoption, teaching remotely, her love for theatre, and the amazing relationship she has with her husband. Please enjoy!
