We had the good fortune of connecting with Phoenix Washington and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Phoenix, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
Only those who are willing to risk going too far, could ever find out how far one can go. A quote from one of my mentors, Eric Thomas. You have got to take risks. How else would you know what you’d full potential is? I try to push the envelope everyday . Every chance I get to go a little bigger on something, I take it. It’s the way I’ve grown. Ida how I evolve and reach new heights in my life and in my career.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’m an Actor and I just want to portray powerful people in impactful stories for the rest of my life. I love the art of performance. I love improv. I live for diving deep into a character’s psychology to come out with a moving performance. In my work on camera as well as my work in my home voice over studio.

Nothing about this journey that we’ve chosen is easy. There’s no clear path to success and you’re Not the only person with control over what happens in your career. We all must be lunatics.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
This city has so many spots where you can look up and out and see just beautiful landscapes for miles. I’d try to spend as much time in the sun, on the beach, and admiring Gods Art as I could. And constantly hunt for new delicious foods to try!!! Ima foodie, love to eat.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I give all the Praise to God. Had it not been for the goodness of the Lord… where oh where would I be?
