In this Re-Release on Kill the Small Talk, Alex Caron sits down with Canadian comedian and actress Geneviève Dubé Carpenter, whose journey to the stage is anything but ordinary.

From competitive figure skating to fitness modeling, and now starring as the female lead in a brand-new TV comedy, Geneviève has reinvented herself time and again. She opens up about imposter syndrome on set, the discipline she carried over from sports, and how a single open mic snowballed into a full-blown comedy career.

Funny, sharp, and refreshingly honest, Geneviève shares what it’s like balancing life between Canada and Los Angeles, why comedy feels like “finding your people,” and how she’s embracing her next chapter as an actor.

New episodes every Wednesday — because small talk is dead.

In this episode of Kill The Small Talk, host Alex Caron sits down with film director, author, and creative entrepreneur Jorge Xolalpa for an honest and inspiring conversation about independent filmmaking, discipline, collaboration, and building a sustainable career in the arts.

Jorge shares his journey immigrating to the United States as a child, the challenges his family faced, and how those experiences shaped his creative voice. The conversation explores his path into filmmaking, producing, and writing, including the mindset shift that helped him understand that he is the business. Alex and Jorge dive into the realities of the entertainment industry, navigating the aftermath of COVID and industry strikes, the role of AI in filmmaking, and why independent creators should embrace opportunity rather than fear change.

They also discuss the importance of relationship-building in Hollywood, self-marketing as an artist, consistency, discipline, and why collaboration matters more than chasing quick wins. Jorge opens up about his new book “NI DE AQUÍ NI DE ALLÁ”, the lessons behind it, and how authenticity and energy can open unexpected doors in creative careers.

This episode is a must-listen for filmmakers, actors, artists, and anyone looking to build a meaningful, long-term career in entertainment.

In this Re-Release, Alex Caron sits down with his friend Jesse Alvarado — a former actor and stand-up comic who’s now a dad and firefighter — for a no-filter talk about chasing dreams and paying bills. They laugh through stories of bombing at open mics, hauling pianos on set, getting roasted by casting directors, and being the EMT on wild TV shoots. Jesse shares what it’s really like hustling in Hollywood, raising a Roblox-obsessed kid, and finding purpose in firefighting. No small talk. Just honest chaos, laughs, and real-life perspective.
