In this episode, I'm having a chat with the incredibly talented Josh Piterman - or is he having a chat with me? Josh is Australia’s own renowned musical theatre star, best known for his powerful performances in shows like Phantom of the Opera and Les Misérables. This conversation goes far beyond the surface as we dive into the raw and vulnerable side of being on stage, and the emotional and psychological demands that come with embodying such iconic characters night after night.

Josh opens up about his journey into musical theatre, which began with an unsuspecting tap on the shoulder in high school. He shares both the highs and the lows of his career, from the exhilarating moments of playing dream roles to the challenges of dealing with stress, anxiety, and burnout. Together, we explore the concept of resilience - not just as a buzzword, but as a deep, often painful process of self-discovery and growth.

So, if you're keen to dive into discussions around identity, vulnerability, the balance between public persona and private self, and the importance of authenticity (whether on stage, in the boxing ring, or in everyday life) then this chat is definitely going to be your jam!
