Coffee with Yoshi Barrigas

good morning good morning we're at the Great Awakening

coffee

shop which is located in Cape Cod and it's at 20 Independence Drive in case you're here and we have a wonderful friend who stopped by and I call him friend because he's really a friend and he He comes here from time to time and we feel very honored in my heart because changing the world is what it's going to take now if I want to change the world, you know? Herron runs is when the Heron fish returns to the source of the spring. waters and they go against the current whoa against the current is incredible and it is not because of natural phenomena they jump on the rocks and Against All Odds like seagulls trying to eat them but they return from where they came against the current against the current against the current they come back and lay eggs and it's happening now you should actually check it out wow it's called that Heron Herren Bron Herring run that's what it is yeah it's amazing so do you see yourself as dad against the grain against the Hollywood type maybe philosophy? like Numero Uno, which means there is no philosophy, he died for something you already know.

It's all about me, me and glorification, and you know, being a celebrity, right? I mean, of course, they are wonderful people, but you are so kind and so humble. We are about to unleash authenticity. Would it be against the grain? It will be very difficult, right? I think that analogy really only works for all of us like you. You know, it's like the hero's journey where you go with the flow, which I think. The right way to live life is to surrender to the flow, so you go and swim and that's how you go on a journey because you start at home and then you move on.

On the journey you don't want to stay at home because then there is no growth, so you have to let the current take you, although it is scary because the more the current takes you, the further you go from where you come from, right? It may be scary, but that is the adventure of life and there will be no doubt that that current will take you into territories that are very scary, hurtful and painful and fill in the blank that is guaranteed if you take that journey. but that's the adventure of life and I like the concept you mentioned of once you're down the river, now your job is to return home with all the lessons you learned and yes, but that sounds really real.

There's also a lot of work to get back to. home because you have to go against where everything leads you, so it's a very funny analogy. I'm going to read about what many young people experience at the age of 20. like a setback they look to the future and they have their mentality when i get to a certain age so if i just have money i will be happy and they basically don't live in it now they live in the future in their minds and what is happening to them . they're right now they see it as a setback, they're not living the life they want to live and I know you told an incredible story of how you experienced a setback and you were walking in a park in Hollywood and then it happens that I got to meet the celebrity, his name It's Justin Bieber, yeah, and then from that moment on, something was triggered and things changed a little bit and anyway, it was like a light at the end of the tunnel for you, what would you say about the young people? or anyone who is looking and feeling like they are a failure or missing out on an opportunity or just any experience of going backwards and not knowing what the future holds and what would you recommend to these types of people hmm I guess my advice would be: Me.

I've used this advice a lot with young actors who ask me for advice in their careers, and I think it can perhaps be recommended in a more general sense, which is when things really started to work for me as an actor. actor, what was it when I read a book, um, and I basically talked about not identifying as an actor, so until then, you know, every audition I went to there would be a lot of nerves involved because I'm not booking anything. I'm not working as an actor and I'm here to do that and you know I'm busting my ass working these manual jobs, you know, crazy hours, physically demanding jobs and living paycheck to paycheck, so it all adds up and you start to feel that if you don't get this job you are a failure, you are not a good actor, all those negative conversations start to arrive because you depend a lot on the results being successful and, therefore, when you go to an audition with that mentality, the casting directors , the director, whoever is there, the producers are going to capture that energy and really what they are looking for is the opposite of them, even if an actor comes in and they don't necessarily fit the role or like to look good if their energy is without scared and they're just happy to be there and have fun, then they can say well, they're not doing what we want, but I can.

Tell them they can do pretty much anything because you're not afraid to be malleable, we can, we can work with this or maybe just say maybe not this part, but I'm going to remember that actor because his energy is so positive and fun and like them, they're not attached to the results, which is trust essentially, that's what trust is, so when I started, I started going to auditions and looking at the other actors that were there as a group of people watching Like, I'd be like, "Oh, I feel bad for all these actors because they need this, they're actors and they need this, thank God, I'm not an actor, I'm just here to have fun under these circumstances and do what I want." I don't want to do what I think they want me to do in this role.

I want to go in there and do what I want to do and have fun with it for myself and then I can walk away and whatever the results are. I'm not attached to that, so I think that energy did a lot for me, not just in acting but in life, and I think that analogy works for anyone, whatever they're doing, it's breaking away. by the results and stop judging yourself um by your performances, quote unquote, yeah, but you know even no matter what it is, it's like you know it's about finding that relationship with yourself and with God and with life. , it's about being present, you know it there.

It was a boy named Billy de Miranda and he was a fan of yours and unexpectedly you know it's him, he passed away and I just want to mention his name so that we remember him and so that you know that we would never know that you could be young. you can be old, individual statistics say we will all die someday, you know there is no escape from that so I just see your Instagram about the fan who got cancer and you were very Eva, her name, yes, Eva Johnson. Yeah, so when moments like that happen, when tragedies like that happen and how do you like how you cope?

It was hardships like that with losses like that and yeah, I guess well, I guess it's a sad note, but at the same time, that's what we just celebrated the Resurrection, yeah, and it's about death without hope, but Jesus, there is hope, he rose again, he exaggerated death and that gives us hope, you know that we are not here forever on this Earth and that is what gives us hope. I heard something once, uh, you don't want to be, this is going to sound kind of demanding, but you don't want to be the person at the funeral who cries on the shoulder, you want to be the shoulder for someone to cry on. and that concept is really all I can think of right now, which isn't necessarily something I feel like I'm into, I'm not even there yet, I don't think, but I think it's a good goal to aim for. when it comes to tragedy because it doesn't mean you can't be sad and you know how to go through the whole range of emotions that comes with losing someone, but what do you do with tragedy?

I guess the answer would be something like well, what would Jesus do right? He would be selfless in that moment, right, which is a tall order, but I guess you want to be the one there to help the person who is just as affected as you are, but you. You are choosing to be a force so that the people around you do not fall into that situation. You know they have a shoulder to cry on at the funeral and I think that's a potentially inappropriate response to the loss. It's kind of trying to answer the call to be there for your family or peers or whoever needs a shoulder to cry on, born with those who cry, yeah, be selfless like throughout this interview with you.

I just hear these disinterested notes throughout it. I think it's true, that's what Jesus was about unconditional love Yes, he was present, he was seen as an individual in front of him, he was not seen as a crowd, yes, he was seeing crowds, but when reading the parables, he was very gentle and relational, and that gives me I hope that our God is very relational and cares about the heart and relationships. I think this is how we grow too, we must heed the call in the moments that are most difficult when we somehow manage not to worry about ourselves.

Think about what it is when we expand. What is it when our souls and our hearts expand? You know if this is the size of your soul or heart or whatever you want to call it your spirit and when a moment arises an opportunity arises and somehow you deal with it. with so much courage and make it a selfless moment instead of about you um and those opportunities I think come more often than we realize and I think that choice in that moment to surrender and accept what's happening and to lift up someone higher up instead of yourself, I think there's an expansion that happens every time we get up by lifting each other up, so when you lift others up like you said, yeah, what's that quote about boats?

It is as if a rising tide lifts all boats. Sounds good, that's right, yes. I think so, if you are the one who raises the tide, then everyone else will go with you and that is if you walk with that kind of selfless energy, then people feed off of that and then they are inspired to raise the tide. the tide itself and it's just kind of a momentum where you can plant a seed and then it expands and that's how we're all connected that way, that's right, I love it and I think this conversation was very enlightening.

Thank you very much for having

coffee

a great awakening thank you cafeteria that was the first interview to change the world I really feel honored greetings I hope you continue talking a great awakening when I came back here I went to practically all the cafes I could find and as soon as my sister told me brought here, I sat there and Andrew brought me my first coffee and I took the first sip and I'll never forget it was the first sight, yeah, I looked, I looked at it and I thought this is the best coffee I've ever had in Massachusetts.
