Anthony Ramos One's journey is never a straight line and often the path we think we are destined for is paved with lots of ups and downs that lead us to where we belong. In this pivotal conversation, Ryan, Channing, and Fred sit down with multi‑talented actor, singer, and storyteller Anthony Ramos, to explore the twists, turns, and lessons that have shaped his journey. From humble beginnings of the New York streets to Broadway stages, from major film sets to music studios, Anthony shares how he’s navigated shifting expectations, risk, and growth — all while staying rooted in identity and purpose. He shares the impact that starring in Hamilton had on his life, the wisdom from Busta Rhymes, the excitement of Spike Lee, being on set with Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga, his most transformative role as well as his most challenging and gives a sneak peek at some big projects in the works. It's a reflective and honest conversation on the little moments and decisions that led him to chase his dream down an unlikely path overcoming poverty, sharing how the streets taught him to act and maneuver the challenges of a rough upbringing and why pursuing a passion is often out of reach for people like him. He talks to Ryan about dealing with race and cultural barriers, staying authentically himself while balancing Hollywood pressures, choosing to be on the side of his beliefs, betting on himself and taking risks to chase the big roles. He talks to Channing how he mended the relationship with his father before he passed and explains to Fred saying no is hard but being loyal to his roots matters the most, which he explains turning down the chance to work with J.Lo. The guys get into what “pivoting” really means when your life is already in motion as this episode goes beyond the highlight reel to dig into the grind, the doubts, and the quiet breakthroughs. Whether you’re in creative fields or facing your own pivot point, Anthony’s transparency and mindset offer resonance and inspiration.

That lunch story was so real, before my mother became a teacher she worked in the cafeteria of my school and there were so many kids that depended on her being on that line so that they could have lunch if they didn't have the money. Once she got her degree and started teaching and the kids saw her in the classroom, they would always ask when would she be going back to the lunchroom. Shout out to all the lunchroom attendants that understand the assignment!

The fact that he acknowledges and knows the names of all his teachers,coaches and counselors speaks volumes in regards to the kind of msn he is.

I love the pivot for this reason. They bring people and bring cultures together. I’m a huge fan of Anthony Ramos, as a Native New Yorker and Puerto Rican this interview was like a home coming. His energy is so infectious and I appreciate you guys for bringing Anthony on especially Latino Heritage Month. Thank you guys for exposing Anthony to your world and for showcasing one of our best kept secret triple threat actors

If this podcast interviewed more actors, they’d realize that the circumstances ppl go thru do in fact, influence greatness in many disciplines.

He turns down roles because he has integrity. He knows exactly who he is and there’s no price you can put on that. Do what you love and the money will come. He’s good 👌🏾
