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 Ming-Na Wen and I just got into. You're invited to do the same. Come hang.

New conversation every Tuesday.

Ming-Na Wen (Mulan, The Mandalorian) joins us in person this week to talk about the experience of her new film Karate Kid: Legends - from the nerves of working with her idol Jackie Chan to the tone of wanting to honor the legacy of the Karate Kid franchise. Ming-Na opens up about outside perspectives on her tenure in this industry and why she began to unravel with he announcement of her Hollywood star on the Walk of Fame. We also talk about how an old E.R. episode saved her dog’s life, reflections on the Disney trifecta, and what made her truly understand the weight and loss-of-control that comes with anxiety attacks.
