Summary
This week, your 5’6”, hazel-eyed hosts dive headfirst into image, embarrassment, and career mishaps. From a shirtless Instagram post to missing an international flight for a job in London - that’s showbiz, baby!
They dig into the world of agents and managers, what representation should look like, and how those relationships shape a career behind the scenes.
They also touch on family dynamics, sibling relationships, and getting older in a way that feels more grounded.
In Spare Hearts, they answer a listener question about staying connected in a busy relationship, and break down the importance of not immediately assuming everything is falling apart.
Evan and Michelle are basically love doctors at this point!
