Speaker 1 (00:00):
Missed opportunity. I love sharing conversations. Hosting them requires a
lot of show prep. My podcasting platform features thousands of guests.
What you don't have access to are the missed opportunities.
The show prep was completed, the conversation didn't happen, But
I keep on my notes because I believe paths will
cross again. Let me explain missed opportunity. It's my questions
(00:23):
and statements without their answers. I'm leaving open enough space
at the end of each question, hoping they'll download the
talk and insert their answers, then send it back to me.
Missed opportunity is a lost piece of history. It's like
a message in a bottle tossed out to see I
hope we'll find the destination. This week, we're putting focus
on my missed opportunity with actor singer songwriter James Maslow.
(00:48):
Actors singer songwriter James Maslow, known for his role in
Big Time Rush, he was starring in a new comedy,
Stars Fell Again. The invitation for the conversation arrived on
January thirtieth, twenty twenty three. Now, James, you got to
know something about this guy. Three million followers he's always
on the road with the group Big Time Rush. In
(01:09):
his spare time, he enjoys surfing, martial arts, traveling, and
playing fetch with his dog. January thirty first, twenty twenty three,
I received a note saying there would be a connection
on February second, at nine am. It would be a
double meaning twenty minutes. I wrote back perfect. February first,
twenty twenty three, I received a link to see the
(01:30):
movie Stars Fell Again. Shortly after receiving that link, I
learned the conversation would be postponed the result of power
outages in Los Angeles, California. A new date would be
announced later. Sorry for the convenience. The cause of the
outages was winter rains and windstorms. Sixty six thousand, five
hundred customers were without power. No date to revisit the
(01:53):
connection was set. A missed opportunity coming up next my
show prep the question yes the statements the movie experience. Hey,
thanks for coming back to missed opportunity this week my
missed opportunity with actor singer songwriter James Maslow, the movie
Stars Fell Again. For a movie to reach sequel status,
(02:15):
this had to have been an amazing experience. For the
entire cast picking the best place to propose. Man, I
blew it. I was at a nightclub, right there in
the middle of all these people in a club, and
I popped the question. But you've got to pick the
perfect place when best friends carry a vibe that is
amazingly true to what love is. You're an actor, musician,
(02:39):
influencer on the internet. You are a communication specialist. Josh
is a very important figure in the real world because
on my side of the world, I'm seeing less maids
of honor and more men of honor. This is such
a perfect time to be in a movie like this.
Rom comms are back, Dude, I'm a wedding DJ. I
(03:00):
love the stories created before the moment actually unfolds. Being
on the set of the movie. It's about storytelling. Is
it like creating a new song? Was this what you
dreamed about as a teenager? Art is something that is
always going to be wide open. Is there another level
that we don't see of you? Are you a painter?
(03:21):
Are you a writer? What do you do when you're
not on a stage performing two years ago? Call it
like I see it ended? A creative drought has happened?
The song not giving up you. I've always loved how
the vocals of the song create a collaboration between people
on the outside of the music. Did you have to
take yourself into exploring acting? I mean, you fit in
(03:44):
so well. We got to talk about the band. You
weren't afraid to make it visible on Nickelodeon. Dude, you
went to South America. Nobody is more loyal to music
than those who live there. That moment when time stood
still and music could be heard live, what was that
like for you? And there you have it, My questions
(04:05):
and statements for singer songwriter actor James Maslow missed opportunity.
