Finding Joy in Chasing Your Dreams: Interview with Alexis Vivanco

On this episode of The Joy Project with Julia, I’m joined by someone who truly embodies what it means to chase your dreams with heart, humility, and a whole lot of passion… Alexis Vivanco.From teaching broadcasting to at-risk youth through his high school initiative Media for Minorities, to pursuing sports broadcasting opportunities at the University of Florida, to working as an agent, Alexis shares how storytelling became his way of bringing value to people’s lives...and how purpose has guided every pivot along the way.Together, we explore what it means to meet people where they’re at, to be “somebody now” instead of waiting for someday, and to turn obstacles into fuel. We talk about why empathy is the foundation of real impact and what it actually looks like to dream big, especially when the question becomes: if not you, then who?This episode is full of laughter, vulnerability, and powerful reminders that your voice already matters. You don’t need a title to be a leader. You don’t need permission to go after what sets your soul on fire.If you’ve been sitting on a dream, questioning your path, or wondering whether you’re enough...this one is for you.
