On this episode of “Tommy Talk,” Tommy discusses why we have to stop letting other people’s timelines dictate our own. We look around and compare ourselves to where other people are in their lives. Maybe your friends are getting married, having huge business wins, buying their dream house, or having their second child, and you find yourself wondering, "Why am I not achieving any of that?” Maybe at 40 you’re starting over in your career, healing from a traumatic breakup, or finally chasing a dream you were told you should have pursued years ago. Just because things happen on a different timeline doesn’t mean you don’t have it "figured out." Somewhere along the way, we convince ourselves that we are falling behind in life.This episode challenges that and reminds you that you are not behind. You are on the timeline and path you are meant to be on. Subscribe, rate, and leave a written review if you enjoy this conversation!

This week, Tommy is joined by actor Michael Mando who is finally returning to the MCU as Scorpion in Spiderman: Brand New Day. You may know Michael from his unforgettable performances as Nacho Varga in Better Call Saul and Far Cry 3, but he is picking up the pieces from his cameo in Spiderman: Homecoming and returning to the role of Mac Gargan/Scorpion in what has been a highly anticipated return. Today, Michael opens up about if he knew he would be returning back to the MCU when he signed on to play Scorpion almost 10 years ago, that scene of his cut from Spiderman: Homecoming, the moment that Scorpion made him feel petrified, what playing a villain in the MCU means to him, why he loved working with Tom Holland, what it was like watching him transform into Spiderman up close, the training involved in playing Scorpion, why community is so important when filming a movie like this, if he’s heard anything about Scorpion eventually turning into Venom, his personal connection to Venom as both a kid and adult, voicing Bane in Batman: Knightfall - Part 1, how he helped shape the actual animation of this character, joining Kevin Hart in 72 Hours on Netflix, his unconventional journey towards becoming an actor, if he would reprise his role in a Better Call Saul reboot, why rejection has fueled him even harder over the years, what he will never say to you and so much more. And catch the mini rapid-fire “Hot Takes and Hangouts” interview with Michael out on Thursday, July 30th!Subscribe, rate, and leave a written review if you enjoy this conversation!

On this episode of “Tommy Talk,” Tommy dives into the importance of truly living while we’re alive. After reading Matt Haig's powerful new book, The Midnight Train, I was reminded of something that can be so easy to forget: life can quickly become a series of routines if we're not intentional about how we live it. The truth is, balancing everything on our plates isn't easy. But at what point do we set gentle boundaries and give ourselves permission to say no to the things that leave us simply going through the motions instead of actually living? We're all so busy planning for the future, chasing the next big milestone, and waiting for the "right time" that we often forget to fully experience the life happening right now. From breaking free of autopilot and letting go of perfectionism to saying yes to the moments that make us feel most alive, this episode is a reminder that life isn't meant to be postponed or lived on other people’s terms. Because one day all we'll have are the memories we created...or the ones we WISH we had.I hope this conversation inspires you to slow down, be present, and reclaim the life you may feel is passing you by.

On this episode of “Tommy Talk,” Tommy dives into the red flags of one-sided friendships, drawing from his own personal experiences. Healthy friendships should feel mutual and energizing while one-sided friendships often feel emotionally exhausting and uncertain. One question I have come back to time and time again is: “Am I holding onto who someone is or who they once were?” It’s a question that has been incredibly eye-opening in helping me evaluate who my true friends really are. Wanting a friendship built on mutual care, respect, and effort isn’t asking for too much, it’s a healthy and reasonable expectation. So let’s dive into exploring the signs of one-sided friendships to help you recognize what you truly deserve in the relationships you choose to keep.
