Albert Bramante (Actor coach)

This week, Albert Bramante, talent agent and mindset coach for actors, tells us:

  • Why the glamorous life of a talent agent is mostly a myth (95% of it, anyway)
  • How a little make-believe paid off three times in a single week
  • Why a three-letter word could change your career
  • Why starving artists might want to change their menu
  • How to make the most of two minutes, and then let it go
  • ... and much more (including who would need a very large suitcase)

About the Podcast

The Coach's Backpack
An insight into what coaches consider the most important tools of their trade
The Coach’s Backpack podcast asks a variety of coaches (from sports to comedy) what they consider to be the most important tools of their trade, physically and/or mentally.

They are only allowed to take limited items on a hypothetical new engagement: one book, one tool/technique/approach/framework, one other item of their choice … and a person to accompany them.
