We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Michael Caprarella. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Michael below.

Michael, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Can you take us back in time to the first dollar you earned as a creative – how did it happen? What’s the story?

I auditioned for a roll that led me to a YouTube series over 2 million. Subscribers.

Michael, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I started off acting as a kid doing plays and then was founded by a managment company in L.A which led me to be in numerous things from commercials, to online web etc.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

In 2013 my family lost our home. It was extremely difficult. We couldn’t afford food or heat. We struggled immensely. I just never gave up on my dream. I always strived for more and to help my family.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?

The greatest lesson I had to unlearn was the concept of time. People push others based off time. “Hey why aren’t you married yet? Why are you still doing this with acting shouldn’t you be further by now?”

We all go at our own pace in life.
