Meet Chauncey A. McQueen | Actor, Entrepreneur, Podcaster, Content Creator

We had the good fortune of connecting with Chauncey A. McQueen and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Chauncey, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
One thing I learned pretty early on in is, the best things come when you step outside of your comfort zone and take risk. Life is so short and tomorrow isn’t promised for anyone, why live your life playing it safe all the time? Most accomplishments come from taking risk. As humans we tend to stay in our comfort zone, what we are familiar with, going with the option that has the less risk, but unfortunately that can sometimes be our setback. For me personally, life didn’t start going in the direction I wanted to until I started taking risk. Before I would be terrified to quit a job, as I got older I started putting my peace, goals, mental health, wants, and my goals/dreams first. If a job was starting to disturb or get in the way of any of those, I would up and leave with no hesitation. Also before there were many opportunities I would pass on simply because I felt like I wasn’t ready or that I wouldn’t book it, or I wouldn’t put certain content in fear of no one liking it or supporting but I stopped caring. If there was an audition for something I wanted to do, I would put all the fear to the side , do what I had to do and after if I got a callback great, if I didn’t, on to the next. As far as businesses, projects, content, etc…I know longer do it with other peoples opinions in mind, if it something I truly believe in I’m gonna out it out, how I want. Whether people supported or believe in those things or me I still did it, the support will come at some point.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Currently I have a skincare company called Musk Labs and all natural skincare company dedicated to providing results that last, and improve the skin and target issues or concerns. I also have a podcast that’s growing into a bigger brand of its own called How To Struggle As An Entrepreneur which is dedicated to helping people follow there dreams, better themselves not only in their careers but in their daily life by providing a platform for many people from different fields, background, opinions to share their stories of triumph, obstacles, wins, fails and everything in between.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would most likely take them somewhere near the mountains for a peaceful getaway. Natural is one of the best ways to reconnect, recharge, and detox mentally, emotionally, and at times physically.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I have to dedicate this shoutout to my mom Crystal who recently just passed away earlier this year. Watching my mom grind, follow her dreams, figure out any issue and overcome any obstacle at any cost embedded a drive in me that gives me the courage to keep going. Love you mom forever.
