In Episode 2 of Let’s Talk About Hollywood™, we rewind to the summer of 2001, before my first big break at The Hollywood Reporter. I had just quit my job of four years and found myself staring down the side‑eyes of temp agency managers while trying to rebound fast. This episode is about the resilience it takes to bet on yourself, the messy reality behind “breaking in,” and how those early choices shaped my Hollywood journey.

In this debut episode, Karl Gibson, writer, host, and veteran of legacy studios, streaming startups, Netflix, and seven seasons at The Hollywood Reporter back when it was a daily magazine, introduces himself and shares what’s to come. From journal excerpts and career takeaways to real talk and the start of a community, this episode sets the tone for a podcast that’s personal, reflective, and audience-first.
Next up: the journals begin, starting in 2001, when Karl quit his day job and, over one pivotal summer, landed his first A-list branded big break.
