Today's guest is the effortlessly cool Mikey Dellavella. I know Mikey through his fiance Maryann Chavez and we're all faculty members for Souldesoul Dance Convention. I really love this episode. We get real, as per usual, and talk about:

• Typecasting and rejection - starting your career out this way and figuring out your lane
• His journey into the acting world
• Being bold and assertive as a dancer so you don’t get lost in the mix
