Beyond the Mic with Sean Dillon

About Beyond the Mic with Sean Dillon

I believe every person has value. Behind every headline, hustle, hard-earned moment, and family tales there’s a story worth sharing. That’s why I built Beyond the Mic. I talk with artists, athletes, authors, icons and people you need to know. I don’t do puff pieces. I ask questions that get to the real stuff: the doubts, wins, detours, and moments that shaped them. The stories that you normally don't get to hear. Some stories make you laugh. Some hit you in the gut. All of them remind you: people matter, you matter. I’m not here to be famous. I’m here helping others be heard. I want curiosity to run free, connect communities, and make something that sticks with you long after the mic is off. Because in a world full of noise, real stories still cut through. Remarkable stories from people you know—and people you should. That's my mission. Let's go #BeyondTheMic. New Episodes Weekly!

Inside a recent episode

John Bregar of Neagley: Actor, Photographer, Punchline Hunter

Published 30 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] We found these boxes of photos from my grandfather. And we were looking through the pictures. And I discovered that there were posed pictures. And then I found pictures of him wearing cameras. And then at that moment, I realized that my grandfather was a photographer back in the war. And that was the first time I connected with my own DNA. My grandfather died when he was 72, so I never really had a relationship with him because I was seven at that point. It was a very traumatic incident in my life, but the fact that I found out only a few years ago that my grandfather had that artistic side in him gave me all of the clarity about why I'm doing what I'm doing.
