Michael Evans Behling Dishes About His New Clubhouse Series And More

For you and for the people who tune into the series — specifically the first episode — what are you hoping they'll take away from you as an interviewer, from Jimmie in the first episode, and also the series in general?

What they'll take away from Jimmie — you're going to get a brief glimpse into his heart, and into his passion, what he does. The fact that he gives 120% to everything — whether it's his music, whether it's his writing or he's about to jump into some acting ... Whatever it is, you can hear the passion in Jimmie's voice from what he's talking about. So that's exciting for people. 

For me, hopefully people take a look at it and think, "Oh, okay, he's kind of a natural." If not, then hopefully [they'll] see the light that I'm trying to shed on people that I am inspired by. I hope that what I'm doing will make a fan for either myself or for some of my guests and [listeners] will find some inspiration.

Then, the overall idea of the show, the flow of the show — it's a time to sit back, unwind, listen to some artists, listen to some people who have made it fairly high in their careers, and listen to what it took for them to get there. [It's a time for them to share] who their inspirations are and what they do to keep up with things. It's overall a learning experience for a lot of listeners.

Absolutely. If you're able to share what guests you have lined up for the series, are there any that you're particularly excited about?

This week, we have the lovely Miss Geffri Maya, who is from "All American" and "All American: Homecoming." I'm very excited for her. I know her personally, but her story being shared with others and to hear what her inspirations are will be exciting for people to see. She's on the come up very, very quickly. 

We have a musical artist, Alec King. He's a little bit underground, but I'm excited for people to be able to hear him and hear his story because I've known him for a little over a year — maybe two years now. He's an inspiration to me. Then we have a few others that I'm still lining up, but I'll leave that under wraps for now.

That's very exciting. I'm sure it's a reflective process for you as well to really think about who you want to dig deep with.

Absolutely. I want to dig deep with everybody at the end of the day, but you have eight weeks. You got eight slots [where] you want captivating, inspiring content. Hopefully, the guests that I have lined up will be able to encapsulate that.
