I had the BEST time, having such an amazing conversation with hollywoodreporter’s “Awards Chatter” podcast with scott_feinberg at dodgecollege chapmanU. 

500+ film students who all aspire to achieve their greatness one day. You can feel them hang on every word I shared, as they’re all so hungry for lessons and takeaway. Their energy was beautiful and amazing!! 

Such a cool question from Barrett here. The role of Smashing Machine was freeing for me. I was unlocked. After all these years, I didn’t have to live up to an image. A real human going through real life. Like we all do. 
Pain, shame, addictions, demons, acceptance, and ultimately grace, and hopefully… peace. 

We’ve all been there and if you’re struggling, ask for help. It’ll change your life - and may save your life. 

Thank you for an unforgettable night + conversation 🙏🏾🤎🥃
