Trusting Your Team: How to Build Confidence and Communication

dearingstudio — Mon, 18 Nov 2019 11:00:00 -0700

Are you down for some unpacking with the Dearing Team?!

It wouldn't be a team podcast without our witty banter and ever-changing introduction chats. Joey was the -willing....well, unknowingly willing- victim this week as we chat about blemishes and Dr. Shea coming to the rescue. (Cue halo over Shea's head and sly grin).

Okay, okay, now into the meat of it. We had a plethora of updates to discuss, per usual. Interestingly enough, the Dearing Team always finds a way to dive in deep to the values and ideals that make us who we are. After all, who could ever get tired of dreaming?

Here are a few sneak peaks:

-The team discusses the upcoming Phx Casting workshop and the unique perspective it comes from.

Being your own buisness as an actor.
You seriously need to buy Matt's "Acting is my Day Job" book....... Like, right now. Check out the link!
Did we get new interns?? (Spoiler, WE DID!)
Knowing Mastery, practicing Mastery and seeking Mastery.

Happy Listening!

Special Guest Interview with Kyle Maynard

dearingstudio — Sun, 10 Nov 2019 00:00:00 -0700

Talk about a guy....

If you havent heard of Kyle Maynard and the unbelievable triumphs he's conquered in his life, go visit our good friend "Google" and prepare to pick your jaw up off the floor. Here's a sneak peak for you....

Kyle is known for becoming the first quadruple amputee to reach the summit of BOTH Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Aconcagua without prosthetics. (Insane, we know) He is also a best selling author, ESPY award-winning mixed martial arts athlete, and the Terminator refers to him as the "real deal".

Matt, Brian and Shea from the Dearing Team first heard Kyle speak at the 2019 NEXTCON Conference and were in awe of Kyle's demeanor and mindset. Matt being in the right place at the right time, got to speak with Kyle ahead of his opening keynote speech. After the session, the team was intoduced to Kyle and the moment was nothing short of special.

Long story short, we knew we had to have him on the Pod. (Duh.) So, 4 days and a phone call later, Kyle called in to chat!

Topics discussed with Kyle and the team include:

Horrible mispronunciation of words
What is "Mastery"?
Being free in a world full of limitations and social normalities.
Finding power in the unknown.

Happy Listening!

dearingstudio — Thu, 07 Nov 2019 19:00:00 -0700

Welcome to the very first "Speedcast" brought to you by the Dearing Studio Team. (We're not coining this term, but.....we kind of are) So, take the next 12 minutes and 6 seconds of your life and let us mic-drop some banter on you.

We love our excessive group chats as much as the next guys and gals, but....what really consitutes being left on "read"?

Aside from the comedy, we talk about what it means to tell people how you feel about them, getting fired up to WANT growth in your life, and navigating the process of growth.

Happy listening!

Good Fight

dearingstudio — Wed, 30 Oct 2019 00:00:00 -0700

You know that feeling when you or someone else does something or says something that you don’t know what to do with? We dug into that today. Hard. So, grab a shovel and an espresso because we’re headed six feet under into the Dearing Team’s etiquette habits.

Topics From Todays Episode:

Are we trendy? Can we keep up with millennial terminology?
Who’s turn is it really to do the office coffee run?
Why are we all so offended by the “K.” response?
Humans aren’t mind readers. Speak up about your feelings and thoughts.
Listen to those that want to make you better.

Phoenix Theater

dearingstudio — Fri, 18 Oct 2019 09:00:00 -0700

Hanna Spence- Schehr joined the Dearing Team this week to talk about The Phoenix Theatre Company and shared a bit of her story.

-Now- Let's get real here. Hanna had no idea who she came to play with when she entered into the Dearing Studio. She had no idea she would fall victim to Shea's ridiculous habbit of nicknaming everyone who walks through the door AND on top of that, she let it slip that her alma mater is none other than the University of Arizona.

If you didnt know, we are a Devil house around here and really into Arizona Sunde football. ( Cue Matt throw up the fork sign )
Fun Fact: We even have a button on our sound board that so beatifully exclaims: "GOOOOOOOOOO DEVILS".

Anyway, let's get into our chat with "Hanna with no "H"".

Topics include:

Background of Phoenix Theatre (Coming up on their Centennial year!)
The age of Theatre and where it's headed.
Hanna and her many hats. (P.S. She got her start selling concessions and is now the powerhouse Director of Summer Programs at PT)
Dedication to an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere for children of all abilities.
Can you guess what style of Dance Hanna trained in throughout her formative years?!

Signing off with Devil pride,

The Dearing Team
