This week we have the legendary @dantebasco in the pod! Dante walks us through his early years of being a b-boy to making the move out to LA to pursue his acting career, all before the age of 10. He talks about playing the legendary role of Rufio in Disney’s “Hook” to now writing and directing films. Dante has kicked down doors and broken stereotypes that have inspired an entire generation of Asian-American entertainers. In this episode, Dante talks about his path in finding his identity, the importance of finding the right tribe, and how he is finding purpose in providing opportunities by opening up doors for the future generations to keep elevating the game. This conversation is nothing short of pure inspiration and just a good ol’ time. Strap in and let’s get it!
