    In this powerful and deeply honest episode of the EVR FWD Podcast, hosts Mair Mulroney and Tyler Tackett sit down with actor, filmmaker, and scene-stealing creative Evan Sloan for an inspirational conversation about resilience, rejection, and rewriting the narrative when things don’t go as planned.

    Mair first met Evan while filming her second major commercial in Los Angeles for Purina Puppy Chow—a project that, despite everyone’s best efforts, never aired. That experience becomes the perfect entry point for a recurring theme of this episode: how often incredible work in Hollywood never sees the light of day, and how creatives learn to keep moving forward anyway.

    Evan and Tyler instantly bond over their shared love of WWE, reminiscing about being shy kids glued to wrestling matches in their bedrooms, playing with action figures, and unknowingly discovering their first passion for storytelling. Evan opens up about growing up in New Jersey, realizing that his sense of humor was his superpower, and how that once-shy kid became an undeniable scene stealer both on screen and off.

    With refreshing vulnerability, Evan dives into the real highs and lows of the entertainment industry—from creating and starring in the hit web series “Killer Bae” alongside creative partner Juhahn Jones, to booking what felt like a breakthrough role in Atlas opposite Jennifer Lopez, only to learn his scenes were cut from the final theatrical release. In a moment every actor needs to hear, Evan shares how the director personally reached out to praise his performance and explain that sometimes stories simply change in the edit—proof that rejection isn’t always a reflection of talent.

    The conversation also highlights Evan’s upcoming projects and the Ashes to Films Festival, founded by Shiloh Strong, which supports filmmakers who lost homes or were impacted by last year’s catastrophic wildfires. Equal parts inspiring, funny, and painfully real, this episode feels like hanging out with close friends who understand the grind—and remind you why the journey is still worth it.

    If you love behind-the-scenes Hollywood stories, unfiltered conversations about the entertainment industry, and feeling inspired to keep going even when the outcome isn’t what you hoped for, this episode is for you.

    What happens when you walk away from the biggest viral web series on the internet — and start over?

    Actor Carlos R. Chavez joins Mair Mulroney and Tyler Tackett on the EVR FWD Podcast for one of the most hilarious and heartfelt conversations yet.

    Carlos and Mair go way back — from creating sketch comedy together to becoming two of the most recognizable faces of Dhar Mann. Together, they open up about what it was like to walk away from the studio at the same time after years of working there, choosing self-worth and creative freedom over fame.

    This episode dives into:
    Mair’s wild “female Sasquatch” commercial audition
    Tyler’s full-circle moment working on the NBC lot after serving tables nearby
    Carlos getting fired from Universal’s Harry Potter attraction for being too famous
    The journey from Peru 🇵🇪 to Los Angeles, chasing the Hollywood dream
    Healing through spirituality, ayahuasca journeys, and learning to manifest abundance
    Rediscovering yourself after fame — and finding peace in the process

    Funny, raw, and deeply inspiring — this one’s for creators, dreamers, and anyone figuring out what “making it” really means.
