Guys and girls! How are all of you?!

I am currently writing to you from Los Angeles, CA. Yep, I'm back in the wild city of dreams - and traffic! ;)

L.A. honestly is an incredible place to call home, however, I've definitely caught the "travel bug." And more specifically, I've caught the "Caribbean bug!" 

After spending an amazing week on St. Croix, in the U.S. Virgin Islands, I couldn't wait to share my experience with all of you, my social media family.

If you have the opportunity to visit the U.S.V.I., I highly encourage you to do so! I've been to St. Croix twice now, and it is one of the most beautiful islands that I have ever been to. There are several reasons for this, including the natural beauty of the island, the white sand beaches, and the tropical weather! 

The most beautiful aspect of St. Croix, however, are the people. The men and women on this island are kind, welcoming, and genuine. I can't say enough great things about the individuals on the island! 

I have so, SO much video from the trip, and it will be posted to my YouTube Channel, along with my revamped website, and my new Instagram, "DaleyEscape," very soon. (Please be sure to follow and subscribe)!

Talk soon, friends!! And be prepared for some incredible footage! I can't wait for you to see it all! 

Lots of Love,

Guys and girls! Thanks for checking out my blog post! 

I just recorded a new podcast (search "Behind the Sign" on all listening platforms!) and I discussed the topic of FEAR. Fear, my friends, will hold us back in all areas of life, if we allow it to. 

It is time to become FEARLESS! 

It is time for you to recognize the beauty that you possess, inside and out. 

And NOW is the time to make all of your dreams your reality.

After you listen to the above-mentioned podcast episode, please check out my latest video about this topic below.

Lots of love, guys and girls!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, GUYS AND GIRLS!

Wow, I'm about 16 days late writing that here on my blog!! (My bad!)

It's been way too long since I've checked in with my readers here on Behind the Sign, and I hope that you're all doing well. How's 2019 been treating you so far? I hope it's been a fantastic start to the year. 

For me, I've jumped right back into the new year with a NEW LOOK (as you can see from the new headshot!) and I'm very excited to see what this year brings in the world of acting.

I've started the year with a new freelance writing job, and I also have some really exciting work that I'll be sharing soon involving traveling and sharing my experiences through social media and on my YouTube channel! Stay tuned for that! 

For anyone out there who also has an entrepreneurial spirit, I highly encourage you to check out my latest podcast episode, in which I discuss the importance of goal setting. (It's available on nearly all listening platforms, and here's the link to "Behind the Sign" podcast on Apple Podcasts.)

Please keep me posted on all that you're up to this year, and I'll be sure to update you on this end (and on the Hollywood life!) every week here on the blog. (Add your email to the right of this post, so that you'll never miss an update!)

Follow your dreams, be brave, and never give up!!

Guys and girls!  Happy Tuesday!

How are ya?!  I hope life is treating you well and that you're happy and healthy.  It's Thanksgiving week once again and I thought I'd quickly post a message of gratitude to all of you.

I wanted to express my sincere "thanks" for continuously supporting my blog here on "Behind the Sign" and for your friendship through the social media world!  While some of you awesome guys and girls know me in-person, the majority of my readers and my engagement on my blog come from all over the world via social media.  That's a true blessing and I appreciate the time that you take to keep up with me and my work here in Hollywood!

Thank you for your friendship and for all of the love!

What're you most thankful for?  Tweet me and let me know! 

And finally!  I just posted a new YouTube video last week.  Please be sure to give it a watch!

Keep pursuing your dreams and never give up!

Thank you!

What's up guys and girls!!  


I quickly wanted to remind all of you that you are amazing.  Each and every single one of you are totally unique and you have so much to offer this world!  

Even during days that are tough, never give up.  I have found that when going through something challenging, it is helpful to take everything one minute at a time.  You can and will make it through any challenge that you are facing!

​Good morning, guys and girls!  

I hope you're all doing well.  And for those of you who are reading this and who may be in the path of Hurricane Florence, please be sure to be safe and listen to all warnings about evacuations and plans! 

Over here in L.A., we are blessed to have a peaceful morning and I wanted to share my latest video with all of you.  This video deals with the subject of starting your day off in one of two ways:  either it is the same routine, never ending rat-race, or this morning is a brand new beginning and a new chance for you to live life to the fullest.

Check it out below!  And I hope you like the new beach tapestry in the Daley Planet studio as much as I do!

Keep being who you are and loving yourself!

Jesse

Happy Friday evening, guys and girls! 

I hope your week has been a great one, and that you're excited for Labor Day Weekend!

It's September tomorrow (so crazy!) and this of course means that the summer is coming to a close and we are about to embark on the start of the fall season and a new chapter of the year!  Are you ready for it?

Part of being prepared for any new chapter in life involves reflecting on what you have learned from previous ones.  I believe that it is extremely important that while reflecting on the past - whether it be the very recent past or a long time ago - you give yourself a lot of credit for the accomplishments that you have made up until this point.  And if you're reading this post, you've certainly achieved many great things in your life so far! 

Sometimes in life, it's not easy to focus on our accomplishments.  During challenging times it's much easier to look at what we're lacking and to focus on shortcomings or failures.  

Friends, today - the last day of August 2018, - take a few minutes to reflect on some of the accomplishments that you've made.  It doesn't matter if these accomplishments are large or small. The point of doing this is to take a look at every area of your life and give yourself a few moments to smile on what is positive about your achievements!

I will give you an example from my own life as an actor.  Recently, I've had to do a lot of reflecting on what I have achieved and accomplished throughout an extremely challenging time, career-wise.  The commercial acting business has been changing rapidly, and it's been very difficult for SAG-AFTRA actors to have any opportunities for work.  I, along with  many, many of my friends, have essentially begged SAG staff and elected officials to do more to help dues-paying members.  They have not done enough to help which has resulted in non-union (meaning non-regulated and typically low paying) commercials being made at an unprecedented rate.  

While this has been very frustrating and upsetting, there is always an up-side!  In this case, I was thrilled to have been a part of a rally at the union headquarters where many SAG actors demanded that more be done to help the commercial crisis.  We ended up in Deadline (and here's the link to the article.)  

This was a massive accomplishment which resulted in much more awareness (and more action taken by SAG) to combat the non-union commercial crisis.  

This is one example on choosing to focus on the accomplishment of this rally which will hopefully help actors in the long run.  While it does not eliminate the challenging time that SAG actors are in, it is very helpful to focus on the positive outcomes rather than the negatives.  

Hence, friends, take a look at the accomplishments and achievements that you've made this summer as we head closer and closer to Fall!  

Here's to a productive Fall 2018,

Jesse
