Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Speaker A: Welcome back, Tron podcast listeners. This is your host, Rashad Woods. It's an honor and a pleasure to have a very special guest that carved out some time for me on this show today, Mr. Albert Bramante. Thank you very much, sir. Appreciate you.
[00:00:11] Speaker B: Thank you, Rashad, for having me on. I'm really happy to be here.
[00:00:14] Speaker A: You know, it's, it's crazy what you've done and you, you own your own talent agency, you're a full time professor, you write books. You also show people how to utilize AI. First of all, how does your story start and how did you manage to juggle all these endeavors?
[00:00:29] Speaker B: Well, I, I started off just as a child, the youngest of five, growing up in a family where I was different, you know, that I was more of a thinker type. I grew up with a family of athletes, which clearly I'm not, and had no interest in athletes. But I loved reading, I loved being around books. So I think it all started with me just being an avid reader and being a book, you know, a bookworm. So I started reading all the books about the brain and behavior when I was in high school and I became so intrigued by, by psychology that I decided I was going to major in it. But I also had very interested in creative arts too. So I was in a drama club in high school. I was part of different organizations and even in college where we did some theater and some community theater, I really enjoyed that. I didn't necessarily want to be an actor, but I enjoyed being around actors even in college. And I realized I want to do something with actors.
So I was kind of doing that and working. I just got hired as a college professor. So as I started finding my way around working with actors, you know, when I started, always wanted to be an entrepreneur. Let me start wanting, let me manage and represent actors. And so that's how that started. You know, 2004 was my first. Yeah, I founded my first company and I'm kind of doing that ever since.
While I was starting my agency and building that up, I was noticing a lot of actors were self sabotaging and being their own worst enemy and shooting themselves in the foot. It started then that I was going to, you know, look at that. While I was going for a PhD in psychology, you have to do a monumental process of dissertation. So that what I said, you know, I'm going to do my dissertation on self defeating behavior.
[00:02:23] Speaker A: Wonderful, wonderful work. And you know, and I don't need to interrupt. Sometimes people see performances on stage but don't realize how psychologically you Know, impacted they are just to get into that field and how hard it is to take rejection. But I saw one of your clips where you're going to get a lot more nos than yeses.
[00:02:39] Speaker C: Right.
[00:02:39] Speaker A: As far as with a competitive field like that. And I'm sure that, you know, you helping people get through those barriers and that self doubt, obviously being up close to it had to be, you know, a big motivating factor because your big theme is connecting people.
[00:02:52] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean that that's the biggest thing is again, the amount of no's and just there. It's not like a 9 to 5 job where it's like, okay, I'm gonna go to school, get a degree, get a job and stay in this job for X number of years that maybe our parents and grandparents have, in that generation were able to do.
[00:03:11] Speaker C: Right.
[00:03:12] Speaker B: You know, times have changed and also the industry is what we call gig to gig. So you're really only as good as your last job. And so now that you worked a job, maybe you booked that film, you booked a stage show. Now it's time you have to prove yourself again.
[00:03:26] Speaker C: Right?
[00:03:27] Speaker B: All over again, for sure. And that can be taxing after a while, especially, you know, on, on the psyche. But hearing no after, no after, no, that's the reality of business. And some actors have a really hard time with it for sure.
[00:03:42] Speaker A: I mean, it's not like you can quote, I mean, just the competitive nature of it all. And so you help people psychologically as well too. You've written some books and you've also, you know, what have you noticed has been the theme that you've helped people overcome, to overcome self doubt. And you also mentioned about the imposter syndrome, which I've heard before, but for the explanation of this episode, what is the imposter syndrome?
[00:04:03] Speaker B: So the imposter syndrome is really, when you start doubting yourself, it really start like, am I doing the right thing? Do I really belong here? You know, people are going to find out I'm really not a working actor or I'm really not a working professional. And then you start doubting yourself or you're at a job and you start to think, well, they're going to find out I'm not qualified for sure, for sure.
[00:04:24] Speaker A: And so it definitely. And then people start comparing themselves to others who have made it or you know, maybe they've come in with peers who have gotten that breakthrough role, that breakthrough situation and now they have seeds of doubt in their head. You know, I can say just with this podcast, the hardest thing was actually starting this, right? Because, you know, you start, I get concerned of, am I going to have compelling content? You know, you start comparing the successful ones even though you've just started and you have to, yeah, like, what are you doing?
Go ahead, I'm sorry.
[00:04:52] Speaker B: And then you become in paralysis mode where it's like, okay, I'm just not gonna do it.
[00:04:56] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:04:57] Speaker B: Because do I start the right thing? Am I going to start the episode the right way? And so you go into perfection's loop and then you procrastinate more and more. So perfection and procrastination are two major sides of the same coin that are related to self sabotage, right?
[00:05:12] Speaker A: And it's. I always found it funny because, you know, when you're a child, you're curious and you don't care about necessarily being embarrassed, you trip and fall. But as you get older, as an adult, you become more self conscious, right? And you're like, no, you know, what are people going to think? You know, is, is this going to be bad? Am I going to be a bad host? Am I going to be a bad actor? Whereas, you know, up until a certain age, as a kid, their curiosity takes over and they don't care about those things, right? And so they have kind of a, their curiosity is, is so at the forefront of who they are that they're not even knowing they're doing mistakes. They don't even know if they're doing something silly. They're just caught up in the moment and we lose that as we get older and we get more self conscious and then we get in our own heads. So it's a crazy thing, you know, And I've done a number of podcasts and I always try to, in my mind, similar to a working actor, I have to prove myself on every episode that I'm worthy of the guest that's on this show.
[00:06:02] Speaker C: Right.
[00:06:02] Speaker A: I can't say I did really decent episodes last week, a month ago. That means nothing when I'm on here with you. It doesn't.
[00:06:11] Speaker B: And not only that, especially if you have a first time audience member check, you know, listening to the show for that first episode, you have to kind of assume that every episode is a new podcast.
[00:06:22] Speaker A: Correct?
[00:06:24] Speaker B: You, you'll have royal listeners. I mean, you're gonna have listeners that are going to come in and out, right, Depending on that. And it is challenging. It's not as easy as people think. And that's where. Because a lot of people tell me, oh, I, I think I can act, I'm like, well, that's great. But can you really do that?
[00:06:40] Speaker C: Right.
[00:06:40] Speaker A: No question.
[00:06:41] Speaker B: Are you really set out to do all that?
[00:06:44] Speaker A: Absolutely, absolutely. And you also help people find their long term purpose. And so I read an article about you where it said bold, your Bold Journey article, it says you also have 20 years as a college professor, which we talked about. And then you have books, the Martyr Complex, as well as Gaslighting and business and work. So can you talk about those please?
[00:07:02] Speaker B: Sure. Well, the, like I said, I started teaching in 2003 actually so. And actually there's a story with that attached was I was thrown into, you know, like if you want to use the metaphor of a deep end of the pool. Because as college professors it's different than primary school education education.
When you go to primary school education you get a four year degree. That's you get formal training in education as a college professor, all you need really is a master's degree in your discipline. There's no teaching credit. And so I applied a while back, even before that to be there was a community college about 10 minutes from my house. I said, let me put in my application, this is two years even before this. And I remember getting a call was the day after Labor Day and it was like, hi, I'm so and so secretary from the psych department. We have, we have a situation come in. We had a professor who backed out. Can you come and you know, meet with us? So I met with them and they're like, okay, well for two minutes they asked me what my availability was. I'm available. They handed me the class list, they had me the textbook and I said, you're hired. And not only that, you start tomorrow. Wow, zero experience. Okay. I pulled an all nighter. I said I'm gonna put a syllabus together.
And I am don't know foggiest idea what I'm about to do.
[00:08:26] Speaker A: Time to fly by the seat of my pants, ladies and gentlemen.
[00:08:28] Speaker B: Yeah.
And coming back with my limited knowledge of the time of show business.
[00:08:34] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:08:35] Speaker B: Fake it till you make it. So get up there for sure and pretend like you know what you're doing.
[00:08:40] Speaker A: That's awesome.
[00:08:41] Speaker B: And that's what I did. I walked in there, I didn't tell anybody, any students in any of my classes that semester that I did that. This is my first time.
[00:08:50] Speaker C: Right.
[00:08:51] Speaker B: I went in like I was teaching before I handed up my syllabus. I went in and I completed the first semester. And I have a lot of students going to be saying that was great. How many years, how many years have you been teaching my.
I, you know, I was kind of more inclined to be open at the end, but, yeah, none.
This is. You guys were a beginning.
[00:09:12] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:09:13] Speaker B: Now, of course, I'm not gonna say, yeah, confidence.
[00:09:16] Speaker C: Right.
[00:09:17] Speaker B: Because then it would, I mean, you wouldn't go to surgery and the surgeon come up to you, like, wish me, like, this is my first time. So, no, nobody wants to be that first time. But everybody starts up somewhere. Everybody has to have that first class.
[00:09:28] Speaker C: Right?
[00:09:28] Speaker B: So I think that was like, my first major confidence boost that if, hey, I can do that.
[00:09:34] Speaker A: That's awesome. That's a fact. And to your point, sometimes you need to just be thrown into the deep end of things to find out if you really, you can handle the profession that you ultimately go into.
[00:09:42] Speaker C: Right.
[00:09:43] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:09:43] Speaker A: And sometimes things don't call you when you're ready. I mean, they have understudies and actors.
[00:09:47] Speaker C: Right.
[00:09:48] Speaker A: And so anything can happen.
[00:09:49] Speaker C: Right.
[00:09:50] Speaker A: In a backup quarterback in sports, so to speak. Right. So you better be ready if the, if, if something happens, you better be on call. That's an awesome experience. And that's a learning lesson, you know, that you, I see what you profess over the clips that you give, you know, building. That you had the confidence to be ready to say, okay, hey, you know, I got to figure this out. And as long as I, you know, I'm quote, unquote fake until I make it, and more importantly, don't show it in my body language that I'm not ready for this moment.
[00:10:16] Speaker B: Absolutely. 80, your audience may never know. And that's why, like, I even tell actors, like, even when you're on stage and let's say you blub a line or you miss a mark, don't draw attention, just keep correct.
I'll tell you, there's plenty of times where I know. I, When I was even teaching the first semester, I stumbled. I, I, I didn't, I didn't draw attention to it. I just kept going.
[00:10:40] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:10:41] Speaker B: And maybe they'll notice, maybe they won't. But the point is that if you keep going, they'll be even more forgiving if they do notice.
[00:10:47] Speaker C: Right.
[00:10:48] Speaker B: That you flopped. Yeah. I'm doing now 22 years later, I'm still, you know, the rest of, Obviously, I must be doing something right.
[00:10:56] Speaker A: Sure. So sure.
[00:10:58] Speaker B: But it's also leaning into your instincts part of it. I also kind of went into, like, okay, when I, I was at that time, I had my master's. I was in college for six years, if you think about it.
I then started channeling okay, what do I, what teachers do I did I like? What resonated with me, what teachers I didn't like Let me use the behaviors of the student, not let me model the teachers I like so well. I mean, yes, I was blind, but I wasn't 100 blind. I went in with that, at least with that framework of like, okay, this is what.
[00:11:29] Speaker A: See, that channels back to your curiosity and your reading. Because you decided to start doing your homework behind the scenes and you said, okay, where I'm going to gravitate towards. You didn't just float through the position and just take it day by day. You started doing your homework. You started finding out what was your best tendencies, what was working best for you. And you and I have a very similar background when it comes to how I started the show, just briefly is because I watch Discovery Channel, I watch documentaries. I, I always use the inspiration of Keanu Reeves. Like, Keanu, one of the biggest movie stars in the world, if not the biggest. But then you find out the guy's a geek, right? Like, and that's a good thing he does. He watches documentaries. You go on Netflix. He's trying to learn about like different places, maybe even extraterrestrials. He has a 10 part Roku series where he visited all these various different places that people built things and made things. And you're like, this dude could just be sitting on a movie set on the laurels of his success. But he's curious. And, and so I used to read encyclopedias as a kid. See, now it's cool to be a nerd, right? Like in 2025, growing up, it wasn't easy being a geek who really liked to read about fascinating things. And no random, you know, you know that people would just be like, dude, what the heck are you talking about? You know, so that's kind of how this, that's kind of how the show morphed and developed.
[00:12:39] Speaker C: Right?
[00:12:39] Speaker B: And you just take one step at a time, and that's how it will.
You build layers upon each, each thing. And that's the way to do it.
[00:12:49] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:12:49] Speaker B: Way to start. And sometimes it's best to just rip the band aid off and just start.
[00:12:54] Speaker A: Exactly.
[00:12:55] Speaker B: Because you could always, you know, even go back to the show. You can always record a couple episodes and maybe not even use those episodes initially in the beginning, but at least you've done it and you're familiar with the format of it.
[00:13:05] Speaker A: Absolutely.
[00:13:07] Speaker C: Right.
[00:13:08] Speaker B: Because you can. The thing about you, you know, and, and with any type of skill, you can read about it. You can watch instructional videos, but until you do it, it becomes a whole nother thing because I, you know, I'm not, you know, right now I'm not hosting a podcast, but I've been the guest on podcasts and I've even watched some of the shows where I was like the first time guest. So now I'm like, there's a difference, correct pace and there'll be a difference in a year from now. Because I, you just get more to the muscle of doing it. And when you become a muscle doing it, like I know I'm a much different professor than I was 22 years ago. And it's just evolve.
[00:13:45] Speaker A: And you should, right, you should be better at something that you've done over a course of time than you'd start when you first started.
[00:13:51] Speaker C: Right.
[00:13:51] Speaker A: And so one question I do, I really want to know is how does your CEO talent, As a CEO of a talent agency, you juggle multiple things. How do you manage talent? How does that process go? And who is your clientele? Primary base?
[00:14:04] Speaker B: Well, primary base are working actors in New York City area. They're to think about first of all, the first step was, was working with actors, understanding the people too. They're not just, they're, they're much more than their characters they play and so understanding that. And most of the time very actors are very sensitive. Empathy and empathic people. I mean that's what helps them get into character, you know, is really having empathy and understanding a character. So I think when you can play to that level, it helps with, develop much rapport with actors.
[00:14:36] Speaker A: And because you've been around them for so long, you knew exactly where, where their mental state was and how to approach that and how to manage that. And like I said, I went to your. And I was like, wow, this is really, really, you know, first of all, it's very splashy, attractive. The colors are really, really well utilized and everything like that. So it's a very impressive website. So I'm certainly glad that your talent, you know, that you've acquired and continue to manage, you know, have somebody who's very empathetic to what they're going on upstairs and not just, you know, hey, book the next gig, book the next gig, you know, because it's a, it's a very lonely road. I can imagine, you know, and they probably have family and other people who are saying you really should just get a job, so to speak, you know, and, and do this right. So how do you combine artificial intelligence in all these things?
[00:15:20] Speaker B: So I, I Started recently said maybe, you know, obviously when the AI boom about two and two years ago, two and a half years ago, I started hearing, I was like what is this chat GBD thing? And at first I was like, I don't know. I'm just not once at first, even when I started playing around with. I was like, I don't know because it was giving you very, very generic responses. It was great for a at that time as an information tool, but it wasn't, of course it wasn't until I learned how to prompt it well and how to really conversate with it that I realized that this can be a tool now it's not a replacement. I don't. Now I come from a viewpoint where I don't think AI is going to replace us anytime soon.
[00:16:04] Speaker A: Correct, Correct.
[00:16:06] Speaker B: I, I mean at least not my lifetime. I don't think. What I do feel though is it can be a great a, it can be a great tool to use like a second or even third brain, a way to look like. Okay, well this could be a great partner or brain brainstorming tool. So the one thing I kind of use it again is social media.
[00:16:26] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:16:27] Speaker B: Content creation. And I processes, automating processes. And what I would say to anybody doing that for that reason is to look at it like a non perfect. It's not perfect. So I would never tell anyone just to take the first thing that it gives you and go with it completely. You have to make it your own. So usually what I'll do is I'll come up with an idea for something for, you know, a skeleton and I'll put it in my own words and then I'll, you know, run it through, you know, chat GPT or Claude or any other orange language model and then I will be able to find a great, you know, and then I'll come back and then I'll add more to it. Okay, how does this work in my voice? I have to because. Just go ahead because very often when you put things in somebody else, when in an AI voice especially we're used to people, people will know the difference between your voice and what's funny you.
[00:17:24] Speaker A: Mentioned that and I apologize for cutting you off earlier because I have to ask as a professor in particular, if there's some sort of paper or, or anything somebody has to typ and they just chat chief, like what's the difference between that? Because you see now this is a huge problem right now.
[00:17:38] Speaker B: Well, I, I look at the difference between someone's writing in general, communication in general, and If I start to see words that I don't even use, you tell you know more a lot of flowery language in their papers.
[00:17:51] Speaker A: Oh my goodness.
[00:17:52] Speaker B: And I'm just like what's. And it's actually some professors were getting sober I just find it hilarious and like I know, I know what you did because I use this stuff every day too.
[00:18:02] Speaker A: That's fantastic.
[00:18:05] Speaker B: Yeah. Or, and, and what I will often tell you know, if any student is listening to this, make sure you re read what you post before you just cut and paste. Because one, one time that this didn't happen to me, one of my colleagues was reading the paper and then in the middle of it there was a statement that says and as a large language model I cannot press. And I'm like wow, that's lazy.
[00:18:29] Speaker A: I'm like didn't even check.
[00:18:31] Speaker B: Please take that sentence out, please.
[00:18:33] Speaker A: Bad. Yeah, because.
Because it has the automated portions up there in there.
[00:18:38] Speaker B: It's automated. The professor wrote I think on a paper you're getting it happen. I'm going to give ChatGPT but I don't think, you know there's no way to really stop it now. One way you could do as professor if you start to sec. Start asking students, you said this statement. So what do you mean by that?
[00:18:56] Speaker C: Right.
[00:18:57] Speaker A: Right.
[00:18:57] Speaker B: Now if they really wrote it because the thing, the challenge about what AI, you cannot really prove it because I could give the same problem. You could the same problem. We're going to get a different outcome.
[00:19:07] Speaker C: Right, Right.
[00:19:08] Speaker B: So what I would say is start asking questions.
[00:19:11] Speaker A: Absolutely, absolutely.
[00:19:12] Speaker B: Well you say this, this is very interesting. These at the statement. What did you mean by that?
[00:19:16] Speaker C: Right.
[00:19:17] Speaker A: Go into detail about this please.
[00:19:18] Speaker B: Yeah, tell me more. Tell me. I'm curious and fascinated by it.
[00:19:22] Speaker A: Well, that's when the actor has portion has to come out and you can fake it that you actually.
[00:19:25] Speaker B: And if you could, great. If you can fake it, that's great because I can't. I wouldn't be able to prove otherwise. But if you're sitting there stumbling, you said it.
What do you mean?
So again if you are going to use AI, which I don't recommend as a professor but if you are going to do it, please be familiar with what is you're doing for sure.
[00:19:42] Speaker A: I mean I can only imagine like I was in college 20 years ago and I'm like if this tool was available, I mean maybe something.
[00:19:49] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm not, I'm not gonna lie here. I'm gonna take my student, you know, put my student hat on. I'm like, yeah, I would have made life a lot easier, but.
[00:19:57] Speaker A: Exactly.
[00:19:58] Speaker B: Yeah, it would have been cost commits off the line. But again, yeah, it's you. You have to make it your own, if you please. You know, it. It can cut down the workload S but it should never 100% be the replacement of you.
[00:20:14] Speaker A: Well, I was talking to an author, you know, who was on here previously and he said the same thing. He's like, you know, you can clear up a sentence that you typed up to get it clarity, but it has to be your work that you did. You know, if you're trying to. You know, I've talked to songwriters and it's like, yeah, you can use it to structure the song that you wrote, but you don't want to make it to have an original song that was actually. It's not the same. And then the emotion of who you are ultimately is not going into that particular piece of.
[00:20:40] Speaker B: No. And it's going to come off flat. It's like, this is what. Because a lot of people ask me, well, you know, now people are going to start using AI to write movies. I'm like, that doesn't scare me one bit because I know that if a person is going to write a movie just with chat gbz, it's the most lamest movies.
[00:20:56] Speaker A: Oh, I can only imagine. I can.
[00:20:58] Speaker B: You know, it's going to be very lame. So I'm not worried about that at all. Because it doesn't know the complexity of things. Can it structure? Yes. And maybe it can give you some ideas of the pointers going to fine. But it's still. You still have to write the thing yourself.
[00:21:10] Speaker C: Right.
[00:21:11] Speaker A: Like, it's almost like. Like Gary Oldman's character in. In the Professional. You're never going to chat gdp. You know that role that he played of Norman Stansfield, right. Where he's like, that's Gary old. Like, he has to have dialogue where he's, you know, you know, ultimately an iconic role that he played. You know, you're not going to be able to just say everyone. And that's going to come across really cool, you know, inside of a chat gpp. So how do you do when it comes to hypnosis too, as well? Too. I just want to dive briefly into that because I know that's in your background as well too.
[00:21:40] Speaker B: Yeah, well, hypnosis is a very natural process. I mean, I know it's for some people maybe a little bit scary or a little bit mysterious.
[00:21:48] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:21:49] Speaker B: But it's enough a process that we all go into and it's just by really being open to ideas and really it's just bypassing what we call the critical factor, the, the protective ego part of our brain is bypassing that. So now when people think hypnosis, traditionally, they'll think of someone doing a pocket watch and someone, you know, acting funny or. I would say that if you really want to get an idea of hypnosis, it is definitely not what you saw in the movie. Get out. I can tell you that right now. I can tell you that because you, I cannot tell you how questions I've got to ask when that movie came out.
[00:22:29] Speaker A: The Sunken Palace.
[00:22:30] Speaker B: Yeah, the saucer, you know, stirring the thing.
Yeah. No, it, it's, I, I, when I saw that movie, everyone was scared in the movie theater. I was hysterically like, I thought it.
[00:22:40] Speaker A: Was, I thought it was over the.
[00:22:42] Speaker B: Top, hilarious, like in the entire thing. And then like, probably not the best frame, the typical audience member, because again, I didn't want to scare you. Found it really over the top.
I would classify more as a comedy than I would r.
But that's just me. But I digress.
[00:22:58] Speaker C: But, right.
[00:23:00] Speaker B: It's more of putting yourself in a more receptive and open state.
And okay, you don't really have to put someone in a trance and knock them out to hypnotize it. Look at politicians, look at commercials, look at consumers, look at sales people. How many times you went to go into a store to buy a product and came out with stuff you didn't even know you needed?
[00:23:23] Speaker A: Absolutely.
[00:23:23] Speaker B: But you thought you, I think you're convinced yourself you need it. In a nutshell, it's all about having someone do something but then be convinced that it's their own idea.
Right? That's exactly what, what. Good, good hypnosis is good. So like, if I was to work with someone, let's say to stop smoking or to work out or eat, eat better, it wouldn't be like, I'm going to eat better because I was told to. It's because I want to eat better. I want to stop smoking for sure. So that's where true hypnosis comes in. It's like, okay, I want to stop smoking.
[00:23:54] Speaker A: Right? So like, for example, for actors to get over that, that imposter syndrome or that self doubt, it's. You start working on the mental aspect of how you are a good actor. You are going, exactly.
[00:24:04] Speaker B: You already know this. You already know it. You went to school for it. You already have that unquestioned. So get out of your head now. I can't make someone in hypnosis become a better actor because they need the training.
[00:24:16] Speaker C: Right.
[00:24:16] Speaker B: But I can make them be the best actor they can be at that moment by getting out of their head and getting all that chatter out of your head.
[00:24:24] Speaker A: Absolutely.
[00:24:24] Speaker B: Because you'd be surprised about. Not that just for actors, but for anything, anyone or any profession if you really set yourself out there, you know.
[00:24:32] Speaker A: And here's the thing, you know, when you said that, you know, misconceptions about things like, you know, hypnosis. I do martial arts.
[00:24:38] Speaker C: Right.
[00:24:38] Speaker A: And so it's a lot diff. What you practice martial arts is much different than what you see in films. Like, you know, like not everybody is. Is Jean Claude Van Damme. That's gonna like most of the people who do martial arts, you know, get out of your head. Not, you know, people who are nine to five. They're regular people. They come in different shape, sizes and height and weight. Not everybody. It's. It's not akumate every single day.
[00:24:59] Speaker C: Right.
[00:24:59] Speaker B: Yeah. You know what I mean?
And it's also more about a mental discipline too than it is.
Yes, you can do the physical actions and it's great. But it's also, yes, the mental component to that that really makes shine.
[00:25:12] Speaker C: Right.
[00:25:13] Speaker B: With martial arts.
[00:25:14] Speaker A: And it's cool too, when you talked about previously when you said you have to adjust on the fly because if you're doing a technique and you may have done an incorrect technique, you have to adjust it based upon the scenario to make it still be effective.
[00:25:27] Speaker B: Well, I mean, and you have to be on the fly to be very fast. I would imagine that thing. Especially when there's a tense situation.
[00:25:33] Speaker A: Oh yeah.
[00:25:34] Speaker B: You know, you're gonna have to use a fraction of a second reflex and just do what you need.
[00:25:38] Speaker A: Absolutely. Well, you know, and so obviously I could pick your brain all day. And I think that this is one interesting podcasts that I've had. You know, I don't. Not often I get a chance to talk to a CEO of a talent agency, a professor and all the things that you've done and to come, you know, to try to put all that into a 30 minute interview is. Is sort of an injustice to what you've accomplished. So, you know, how can people find you don't need me. Albert Brante, all your accomplishments and what you do, where can you be found and located?
[00:26:06] Speaker B: So you can find me on my website, Albert Brante dot com. You can also.
[00:26:10] Speaker A: It's an absolute. Yeah. And believe me, I looked you up and I was very very honored that you reached out to me. I always kind of choke up a little bit when somebody sends me an email, said they'd watch my show because like I said, I'm just one person trying to do this, navigate this very crowded space. So I really appreciate your time to be able to be on the I really appreciate you. Albert Brante. Thank you very much. Professor, CEO, well accomplished businessman and helper of people, connecting people. Thank you so much.
[00:26:33] Speaker B: Thank you for having me. Bye.
