In this fast-paced episode of The Pivot Principle, Brandon teams up with improv legend Eric Price (MADtv, Key and Peele, Reno 911) and cinematic rock visionary Margarita Monet (Edge of Paradise) to explore what really happens when opportunity shows up unannounced. Blending Hollywood stories, unexpected life lessons, and the improvisational mindset Brandon honed performing alongside some of comedy's best, the trio dives into moments they weren't ready for... and how those moments shaped everything that came next. Featuring chaotic games ("Two Truths and a Lie," "On the Clock," and an unhinged improv road trip), listener questions about confidence and imposter syndrome, and powerful reflections to their younger selves - this episode is a sharp, fun, and inspiring look at staying ready when the spotlight suddenly hits. A quick, comedic, high-energy masterclass in saying yes before fear says no.

Episode 6 brings the heat, the heart, and the hilarity as Brandon & Dan the Intern sit down with two unstoppable talents: LeRoyal Tutt (Snowfall, Beyond The Dark, Fright Night: Million Dollar Heist, Kevin Hart's personal body double ) and Thomas Anthony Jones (NCIS: L.A., Hot in Cleveland, Days of Out Lives, Grey’s Anatomy, Criminal Minds, This is Us). What starts as a conversation about unexpected setbacks turns into a wildly honest, emotional deep dive into the moments that derail everything—and the improvisational mindset that helps rebuild momentum when life hits the brakes.

From their origin stories and blindsiding career pivots to the practices that keep them adaptable in chaos, LeRoyal and TJ get real about failure, resilience, and what it takes to keep moving when everything falls apart.

It’s emotional. It’s unfiltered. It’s laugh-out-loud funny.
And it’s a reminder that sometimes the pivot you didn’t see coming becomes the breakthrough you needed.

Hosts Brandon Gibson and Dan the Intern welcome Isaac Robinson-Smith (X-Men '97, Marvel Zombies, Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Despicable Me 4) and Robyn Kass (Big Brother, Squid Game: The Challenge, Secret Millionaire, The Bachelor) for a heartfelt, hilarious deep dive into what happens when we stop asking for permission and start saying yes to possibility. From breaking rules to near-misses, they unpack the messy art of trusting yourself — with improv games like "The Apology Tour" and "Not Only That, But" keeping the laughs flowing. Honest, fast, and fearless, this episode celebrates the beauty of letting go, leaning in, and finding the pivot that leads to freedom.
