It Doesn't Happen Overnight
A lot of us have big dreams, but don't know where to start. While it's helpful to research the paths of our idols, it often doesn't feel that tangible. It Doesn't Happen Overnight is a podcast that brings on our generations brightest rising stars as they navigate the triumphs, turmoils, and uncertainties that come with following their dreams.

On this episode of It Doesn’t Happen Overnight, I sit down with Dillon Daniel Mutyaba (@dillonmdaniel) an actor who has been performing since he was 8 and signed to his first LA talent agency at the age of 14 (IMDB). On this episode, Dillon takes us through falling in love with acting at a young age, what he does to prepare for auditions, and handling the most consistent part of the industry: rejection. So sit back...roll camera...roll sound... ACTION!
