“Our mission with this celebrity talk-show is to inspire others to pursue their dreams,” says Mann, 31, the host of Before the Big Break. “Too often, on shows like Letterman and Conan, and even Inside the Actor’s Studio, we hear only about what the guests are doing now; we never hear about the struggles and obstacles they overcame to get there. That’s what we’re doing here: we want to know what they were doing Before the Big Break.”
So far, guests interviewed include tv legend Joe Franklin; Andrew Volpe and Tim Ferrell from the rock band, Ludo; cult-film star Sammy Petrillo; founder of Pandora.com, Tim Westergren; and up now on the site, Gary W. Goldstein. The criteria for being a guest: either you yourself are a star/celebrity or you are the mastermind of or responsible for a project or company becoming a star itself.
”We think we’ve got a unique concept that no one has done before,” says Mann. “We just hope the rest of the world agrees!”
