   Albert Bramante on When Fear Talks You Out of Trying | iNTv Interviews

   When is quitting a genuine change of direction—and when is fear talking you out of something you still want? Dr. Albert Bramante, talent agent and acting coach, joins Damien DuBose and Josh to explore how self-doubt, rejection, and the pressure to succeed shape the choices performers make. Drawing on his work with actors, Albert describes the gap between wanting a career and showing up for it. The conversation moves from fear of failure and fear of success to building confidence before the next booking, questioning inherited beliefs, and recognizing progress during a quiet stretch. They also discuss keeping a record of useful feedback, deciding which roles fit your values, leaving a character behind after a performance, and receiving criticism without accepting every judgment. Albert’s distinction matters throughout: choosing to close a chapter is not automatically self-sabotage, and taking a chance does not guarantee success.

   Black Excellence Is More Than Making Money | Philosophy Yap #15

   You made the money, earned the credentials, and built a comfortable life. What makes that success worth respecting? In Philosophy Yap #15, Damien and Josh respond to Irami Osei-Frimpong of The Funky Academic and his video “Black Excellence: Jack and Jill and The New House Negro,” examining where his criticism of status and materialism lands—and where it overlooks the value of productive work and ordinary responsibility. Their discussion connects ethics, developmental psychology, and political philosophy to recognizable choices: keeping your word, raising children, contributing through your work, and deciding whether fitting in is enough. They consider Madam C. J. Walker, Booker T. Washington, Robert Kegan’s socialized mind, and the people who sustain communities without becoming celebrities. Money and credentials cannot substitute for character, but financial stability and dependable work are achievements worth taking seriously. Damien also connects this question to Marxism through his reading of Marx and the Communist Manifesto, arguing that social cooperation and stability are stages of development rather than its endpoint, with further growth toward individual autonomy. Later, a clip from Jared Ball’s iMixWhatiLike! channel turns the conversation toward organizing, labor, and political power. Damien and Josh challenge the reduction of power to violence and consider what reason, trust, and cooperation make possible. Throughout, they return to a practical test for criticism: what would actually make people’s lives better, and who is willing to do the work?

   Eva Levina on Losing Yourself in a Marriage That Looks Perfect | iNTv Interviews

   How can a marriage look loving to everyone else while you stop trusting your own judgment? Eva Levina joins Damien and Josh to describe a 25-year marriage she came to understand as emotionally abusive. She traces the difference between the romance that drew her in, the promises she kept believing, and the choices she gradually stopped making for herself. The conversation begins with her childhood in Ukraine: achievement, family expectations, losing her mother, and marrying young because she did not want to be alone. Eva distinguishes that first marriage from her later relationship. She then describes how promises of support for her work gave way to pressure to abandon it—and how being called a quitter affected whether she felt she could leave. They also explore why friends saw a different relationship, what support groups and therapy meant to her, and how dancing, singing, and writing became part of rebuilding her life. Eva describes that process as difficult and uneven. Eva is the author of the memoir series Death Is No Reason to Stop Living.
