A Transparent Take from A Casting Director w/ Lisa Zambetti

This one hits hard. The boys sit down with prolific casting director Lisa Zambetti (Criminal Minds) for a brutally honest conversation about the state of the industry. Is AI taking actors' jobs? (Short answer: yes.) Is the casting industry itself in trouble? (Absolutely.) But beyond the doom and gloom, this episode is about resilience—how us artists can adapt, support each other, and reclaim our creative power. Lisa speaks with rare transparency about her own struggles, hopes, and what she believes the future holds. From loyalty to unlocking your "why" in the face of uncertainty, this is a must-listen for any actor navigating Hollywood’s reckoning.
