"She Gave us More Room to Grow and Discover and a Safe Place to Fail" With Guest Actor, Producer and Director, Russell Andrews 30:13

In addition to film and tv acting, Russell is passionate about theatre and stage acting. With over thirty years of experience, he’s now written his first book titled, “Shoes,” and it is a significant story because it mirrors his youth and his relationship with his mother.

As one of the founding members and producing artistic director of “Stagewalkers Productions”, based in Los Angeles, CA, it gave the younger generation with creative, artistic and acting backgrounds to have a home base to sharpen their acting tools. It was a safe place for those who were interested in developing their craft of acting or any theatre related topic.

Speaking with Russell was so easy. His rich stories of his childhood with his family are so intriguing. Born and raised in Huntsville, TX, then his family moved to Houston. You’ll hear stories of Blanche Williamson who hired Russell’s grandmother as a domestic and then Ms. Williamson hired Dorothy. “Blanche was a friend of the family, beyond being an employer,” Russell recalls. “The Williamson family was so loving and generous they were like family.” Working with this lovely family allowed Dorothy to make her way through Nursing school at Alvin Community College and so much more. Russell says “that she, (meaning his mother), changed the trajectory of what was know in my family.”

All of the wonderful memories and lessons of his mother that Russell recalls have been passed onto his two children. To this day, he recalls how his mother could laugh at herself, tackle anything without fear, and how she was full of hope and optimism.

Don’t miss a minute of this conversation.

And thanks so much for listening.

“Should Have Listened To My Mother” is an ongoing conversation about mothers and the roles they play in our lives. And my guests answer the question, ‘are you who you are today because of, or in spite of, your mother’? You’ll be amazed at what the responses are.

“Should Have Listened To My Mother” would not be possible without the generosity, sincerity and insight from my guests. In getting ready to launch my podcast, so many were willing to give their time and share their personal relationships with their mother.

Some of my guests include Baritone Singer Christopheren Nomura, Pulitzer Prize Winning Journalist Tim Wacker, Activist Kim Miller, Freighter Sea Captain Terry Viscount, Film Production Manager Peg Robinson, Professor of Writing Montclair State University Dr. Bridget Brown, Tammy Steckler, attorney and family advocate @CUNY Law; NYC First Responder/NYC Firefighter Mark Heingartner, Child and Adult Special Needs Activist, Maryellen Valyo Cole and Roger Evens, Property Manager in New Jersey and so many more talented and insightful women and men.

I’ve worked in the broadcasting industry for over four decades. I’ve interviewed so many fascinating people including musicians, celebrities, authors, activists, entrepreneurs, politicians and more.

A big thank you goes to Ricky Soto, NYC based Graphic Designer, who created my logo for “Should Have Listened To My Mother”.
