Longevity Over Luck: How Smart Actors Keep Working – with Lisa Zambetti

In this grounded and actionable conversation, casting director Lisa Zambetti shares what truly sets working actors apart - and it’s not luck or hustle. It’s sustainability. With over 20 years in the industry and credits like Criminal Minds and SEAL Team, Lisa speaks candidly about what it takes to build a career that lasts.

We explore how actors can use social media strategically (without becoming content machines), the mindset shifts needed to avoid burnout, and why knowing your market is essential to staying relevant. Lisa also unpacks the power of professionalism, communication, and consistency, traits that keep you in the room long after the audition ends.

If you’re tired of chasing and ready to build a business and lifestyle you can sustain, this talk is your blueprint for long-term success.
