Go Deeper

If this one hit home, that's the kind of conversation we go deeper on.

Doing the Work is a weekly Patreon segment where I share what I'm actually working through — the same kind of stuff Elijah Wood and I just got into. You're invited to do the same. Come hang.

New conversation every Tuesday.

Elijah Wood (Lord of the Rings, Wilfred) joins us this week to share his ‘going out on a limb’ moment that helped him land a life changing role in one of the most beloved and groundbreaking franchises in LOTR. After sharing some fellow hobbit appreciation, Elijah talks about his upbringing as a child actor and how delayed success was paramount to his level headed perspective later in life. We also talk about not being defined by work, shared experiences with panic attacks, and his standard for passion in every project.
