Summary
From the Vault
Bianca del Rio - September 2018.
Bianca del Rio is a comedian, drag queen and entrepreneur who came on the show in 2018 to discuss fame, work ethic and staying on track when the world may be trying to push you off course.
This conversation has really stayed with me and Bianca, real name Roy Haylock, gives really excellent motivational advice in this episode. I remember leaving the hotel after this recording and feeling wired and inspired. Seriously, I enjoy Tony Robbins as much as the next person, but Bianca del Rio can be my guru any day.
I come back to his words time and time again, which is why I wanted to revisit this conversation. Also, the advice and perspective within this show is timeless and when I went back to re-listen I realised that much of it what Roy shares is the kind of thing it’s useful to be reminded of.
In the two years since this conversation happened Bianca starred in the sequel to the hugely popular film Hurricane Bianca, performed on the West End in Everybody’s Talking about Jamie and was the first drag queen in history* to headline, and sell-out, Wembley Arena on the It’s Jester Joke stand-up comedy tour.
I’ve bookmarked this episode with a note that says, ‘when you’re on the brink of wallowing, listen to this’…
In this conversation @biancedelrio and I discuss:
- Being true to who you are, understanding that some people aren’t going to like you for it, but moving on with purpose regardless.
- Why an opportunity is only as good as what you do with it.
- Why the ‘hustle’ is far harder than you can imagine, but what consistency and perseverance pay off in the long-term.
- The importance of taking responsibility for what you say and your actions.
- Building coping mechanisms that don’t include complaining to someone else/a social media platform.
- Why it’s so important to get out of your own head and much more…
