100. Lights, Camera... Sandwich? Kevin Porter’s Journey from Actor to Restaurateur

We made it to 100 podcast episodes. Whether you’ve been here since day one or just discovered the show last week, I want to say thank you. To celebrate this milestone, I wanted a guest who knows a thing or two about transformation. Someone who’s been in the spotlight, walked away from it, and started something brand new.

Enter Kevin Porter.
You might know him as Batman from the Bat in the Sun fan films that racked up millions of views on YouTube. Or maybe as Laser, the hilariously intense gym bro in Dodgeball. But today, he’s running Hollywood Heroes & Subs, a film-themed sandwich shop in Jacksonville, Florida.

In this episode, Kevin gets real about what it was like breaking into Hollywood, what being Batman taught him about connecting with fans, and why he eventually walked away from the industry. We talk about moving back to Florida for family, starting a food truck with a Hollywood twist, and turning that hustle into a brick-and-mortar sandwich shop built on nostalgia, community, and a little bit of movie magic.

He’s got stories—from behind the Batsuit to behind the counter—and this conversation is a reminder that sometimes your next act is even more fulfilling than your first.

If you’ve ever thought about starting over, chasing a totally different dream, or just love a good story, you’ll want to hear this one.

🎉 Thank you for being a part of the journey to 100 episodes.
