The Necessary Art of Practicing Gratitude
This episode starts with a cosmic twist—aliens, ghosts, and Joshua’s unforgettable medium training (yes, a ghost may have crossed a boundary). But things quickly get grounded as the boys dive into the complexities of practicing gratitude as artists. Why is it so hard for actors, often stuck in survival mode, to embrace true gratitude? And what happens when gratitude becomes phony or self-serving, ultimately doing more harm than good? They also tackle gratitude in the age of cancel culture, exploring how it fits into a world of rigid narratives and heightened accountability. Rather than weakening our advocacy, they argue that genuine gratitude can make us stronger, offering resilience and perspective in a tough industry. Equal parts irreverent and insightful, this episode unpacks how gratitude, when done right, can be a transformative force in our personal and creative lives.
