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 Tom Welling and I just got into. You're invited to do the same. Come hang.

New conversation every Tuesday.

Tom Welling (Smallville, Lucifer) joins us this week for a reflective and honest conversation about the weight of carrying a legacy role, the pressure that came with it, and how his relationship with Smallville has evolved over the years. Tom talks about the unexpected fallout from fame at a young age, the creative safety he’s found on set, and the realization that growth often comes from letting go. We also talk about the illusion of needing to respond, passing the torch to new generations, and why life happens from you, not to you.
