Alex Dobrenko returns to plug his new show, Distance, a series about a long distance relationship shot from two perspectives. It's beautiful. Watch it here, free, right now: http://www.distancetheseries.com/

Also, podcast elephant in the room: it's been one year since we've heard a new episode. What's been going on with Igor? Is he depressed, or something? Yes. Good guess. 

And because it's still How Are You Thinking About, we talk about fear, wanting to be successful, defining success, being hard on ourselves, identifying so hard with one's career that one has no idea who one is anymore, plus plenty of goofs. 

Missed you guys. Hope you enjoy the episode.

This is a “lost” episode of the podcast featuring Yoga Instructor to the stars as well as regular people, Alexis Novak. Alexis is also extremely funny, which is readily apparent the moment you follow her on Instagram @alexisgirlnovak or on Twitter at whatever comes up when you google Alexis Novak and Twitter.

On this episode we talk about physical and mental health, being honest about things that might be embarrassing, and being a mad hustler.

The podcast lives, though currently very sporadically as I am working hard on some upcoming projects. Will I one day have a producer who will help me with booking and editing and marketing? Yes! When will that happen? I don’t know.

A really cool way to support the podcast is to leave a review on iTunes. Everyone has been very nice so far, and if you leave a review, I will read it on air.

Thank you for listening. The podcast lives! 

Writer, YouTuber, and Close Personal Friend Allison Raskin makes her return to the Podcast for 2 reasons: The first time she was on I don’t think she actually thought the podcast was real, and second, because she is a paragon of consistency and follow through. I don’t know anyone else as dependable, other than my mother, maybe?

And so, feeling like I needed a refresher on getting shit done, and because people have asked for more Allison, we did round 2. I asked her exactly how she thinks about being consistent with her work, doing it no matter what, and always getting it out on time. And she really came through. I’ve actually listened to parts several times over the past week to remind myself and get into a certain mindset. I think, no matter what it is you do or have to do, you’ll find this episode very helpful.

I should mention that since our last episode aired, Allison and her writing partner Gaby Dunn have a show in development with YouTube Red, they have written a book that will be out everywhere in September (it’s available for pre-sale now!), and their YouTube channel, Just Between Us, has 3/4 of a million subscribers. Killing it!

Thank you for listening. I missed you guys! 

On the podcast today is Jonny Cruz. This was the perfect time to talk to Jonny, because he’s plop in the middle of an inflection point in his life. For most of his adult life, he’s been a professional actor, you might have seen him as Ricky in Robert Rodriguez’s show Matador. But then, earlier this year, he started working at Facebook Live as a producer and at Instagram, directing boomerangs for A-list celebrities and shooting stories for the Instagram account, which has 200 million followers. At the same time, he blew up in voice over, because he’s the voice of Lucio in the ultra-popular game Overwatch, which I’m told some 20 million people play. In fact, you probably saw him last week in the video that went viral of him talking in character to all the other Overwatch VO actors.

Jonny, from childhood, had the dream of being a big-time actor; that was the focus, and that was his identity into adulthood. And now he makes a pivot, and ... he’s incredibly happy and fulfilled. The narrative when it comes to career seems to be, you set a goal, and then you go at it and never give up, because giving up is failure. And Jonny’s experience, at least in this moment, goes against that narrative. And you better believe we dig into exactly how he thinks about all of this. And then in the second half of the episode, we get into how both Jonny and Igor think about our relationship with women, which at one point leads to Igor apologizing to his ex-girlfriends. Exciting stuff!

Thank you for listening. A podcast a day keeps the lonelies away. 

Award-winning Chicano-content focused Director Marvin Lemus comes on and gets nasty talking about both the guilt and the drive that comes from being an immigrant (or 2nd generation) and working in a creative field. We also talk about dealing with anxiety, activism, identity, YouTube, creating meaningful work, self-talk, love, and, you guessed it, more. 

Marvin is an extremely talented filmmaker and a long-time friend and close collaborator with Igor. They worked together making sketches with their group, The Kids Table (http://www.youtube.com/thekidstablecomedy), as well as creating all the online promotional videos for the Lionsgate film, "Dear White People" (directed by podcast guest Justin Simien). 

Marvin is currently in post-production on his Web Series, Gente-fied, which is Executive Produced by America Ferrera.

Thank you for listening. Talking and listening is fun. 

Is 16 episodes in too early to have a retrospective? Of course! But this is podcasting, baby, and there are no rules.

Enjoy this special episode where Igor's long-time friend Ab Belani turns things around on Igor and asks how he thinks about this podcast. Meta!

Thank you for listening. Saw this great quote from Salvador Dali today: "...I very early realized, instinctively, my life formula: to get others to accept as natural the excesses of one's personality and thus to relieve oneself of his own anxieties by creating a sort of collective participation."

On the podcast today is Nicholas Kraft, who Produced and Edited the fantastic documentary Pursuing Happiness, and is currently employee #1 and Director of Audience Development at the List app, a social network built around the creating and sharing of lists, and co-founded by BJ Novak. I had the privilege of watching Pursuing Happiness, where their goal was to find the happiest people in America, and oh man I liked it so much. Among many things, it made me realize that I need to step it up and actively care more for the people around me. Being nice is one thing, but I can stand to do more to make life easier for other people.  And I have played around with the List app, and I like that, too. It’s amazing how poignant or interesting or informative a simple list can be. Plus John Mayer and Lena Dunham use it all the time. Download it in the app store if you don’t have it yet.

If you’re interested in seeing the doc, head over to PursuingHappiness.com, where you can see the trailer now, and though it won’t be available on demand for a couple months, there’s a contact page, and if you give them a shout and say you heard Nicky K on How Are you Thinking About, I don’t know, no promises, but you may find yourself watching the movie sooner than you think.
