About No Map Included

No Map Included began with a simple observation: we're always somewhere in the middle, between a high and a low, an ending and whatever comes next, without a plan for any of it. Hosted by filmmaker and podcast producer Yessi Sanchez, this podcast is a series of conversations with people who've lived through their own unexpected turns, artists, entrepreneurs, psychologists, filmmakers, and Yessi's own production partners, talking honestly about identity shifts, creative careers, and the moments that don't resolve as neatly as we'd like. No one here has everything figured out. That's the point. Start with whatever episode feels right, you're already in the middle of something.

   A 30-Year Acting Career Without a Roadmap | Taylor Nichols

   Actor Taylor Nichols has spent more than 30 years working in an industry where very little can be planned. Recently, he took on a different kind of journey: riding his bicycle 3,461 miles over 53 days, from San Francisco to his childhood home in Michigan. What started as a conversation about that ride became a conversation about the similarities between navigating a long bike trip and building a life in the arts. Taylor talks about never following a traditional career plan while still knowing...
