Brandon Gibson: The Podcast

Eric Price & Margarita Monet

In this fast-paced episode of The Pivot Principle, Brandon teams up with improv legend Eric Price (MADtv, Key and Peele, Reno 911) and cinematic rock visionary Margarita Monet (Edge of Paradise) to explore what really happens when opportunity shows up unannounced. Blending Hollywood stories, unexpected life lessons, and the improvisational mindset Brandon honed performing alongside some of comedy's best, the trio dives into moments they weren't ready for... and how those moments shaped everything that came next. Featuring chaotic games ("Two Truths and a Lie," "On the Clock," and an unhinged improv road trip), listener questions about confidence and imposter syndrome, and powerful reflections to their younger selves - this episode is a sharp, fun, and inspiring look at staying ready when the spotlight suddenly hits. A quick, comedic, high-energy masterclass in saying yes before fear says no.

LeRoyal Tutt & Thomas Anthony Jones

Episode 6 brings the heat, the heart, and the hilarity as Brandon & Dan the Intern sit down with two unstoppable talents: LeRoyal Tutt (Snowfall, Beyond The Dark, Fright Night: Million Dollar Heist, Kevin Hart's personal body double ) and Thomas Anthony Jones (NCIS: L.A., Hot in Cleveland, Days of Out Lives, Grey’s Anatomy, Criminal Minds, This is Us). What starts as a conversation about unexpected setbacks turns into a wildly honest, emotional deep dive into the moments that derail everything—and the improvisational mindset that helps rebuild momentum when life hits the brakes. From their origin stories and blindsiding career pivots to the practices that keep them adaptable in chaos, LeRoyal and TJ get real about failure, resilience, and what it takes to keep moving when everything falls apart. It’s emotional. It’s unfiltered. It’s laugh-out-loud funny. And it’s a reminder that sometimes the pivot you didn’t see coming becomes the breakthrough you needed.

Isaac Robinson Smith & Robyn Kass

Hosts Brandon Gibson and Dan the Intern welcome Isaac Robinson-Smith (X-Men '97, Marvel Zombies, Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Despicable Me 4)  and Robyn Kass (Big Brother, Squid Game: The Challenge, Secret Millionaire, The Bachelor) for a heartfelt, hilarious deep dive into what happens when we stop asking for permission and start saying yes to possibility. From breaking rules to near-misses, they unpack the messy art of trusting yourself — with improv games like "The Apology Tour" and "Not Only That, But" keeping the laughs flowing. Honest, fast, and fearless, this episode celebrates the beauty of letting go, leaning in, and finding the pivot that leads to freedom.

Dawn Brodey & Blythe Cappello Asher

Hosts Brandon Gibson (sadly missing Dan the Intern on this one) welcomes comedian/storyteller Dawn Brodey (HILF, The History Channel, Pretty Little Liars) and casting executive/producer Blythe Cappello Asher (Anchorman, Zoolander, Dodgeball, Wild N Out) for a lively and rich deep dive into turning chaos into creativity and pressure into possibility. From first "uh-oh" moments to near-career collapses, Dawn and Blythe reveal how resilience and re-framing transformed setbacks into momentum. Improv games like Radio Shuffle-where bizarre talk shows pop up on the dial-and Commentary, a play-by-play of everyday life, keep the laughs flowing. With real listener questions, candid insights, and plenty of humor, the episode explores improvisation, adaptability, and the art of the pivot-closing with advice to their younger selves and the reminder: "The scene isn't over until you decide it is."

Mark Gagliardi & Diane Foster

In this high-energy episode, Brandon welcomes improv legend Mark Gagliardi and award-winning producer/director Diane Foster for a masterclass in navigating chaos with courage, humor, and heart. From make-or-break moments on stage to high-stakes pivots behind the camera, they reveal how embracing uncertainty can spark your greatest breakthroughs — and how learning to trust your instincts, even when everything feels like it’s collapsing, can transform pressure into possibility.
