Finding Mastery with Dr. Michael Gervais

Bill Hader on Anxiety, Imposter Syndrome, and Leaning into Discomfort (Ten Percent Happier with Dan Harris)


Listen Later

Hey everybody, Mike here… we’re doing something a little different today…

If you’ve been listening to the podcast for a while, you probably recognize the name Dan Harris – he’s a friend, journalist, fellow podcaster, and was actually one of our earliest guests on Finding Mastery back in 2016. 

We had some fantastic conversations together and I was lucky enough to be an early guest on his incredible show – Ten Percent Happier – 

I’ve been a big fan and follower of his show ever since. And today… we are stoked to share one of their episodes with you on our feed!

On Ten Percent Happier, Dan is on a quest to help others achieve peace and happiness. Every week, he talks to top scientists, meditation teachers, and even the occasional celebrity in wide ranging conversations that explore topics like productivity, anxiety, enlightenment, psychedelics and relationships.

This episode of Ten Percent Happier is with the one-and-only, actor and comedian Bill Hader—who you may know from Saturday Night Live, countless roles in comedy films, and from starring in the Emmy award-winning Netflix series Barry. 

It’s an awesome episode, I think you’re really going to enjoy it… 

So with that, be sure to go check out Ten Percent Happier wherever you get your podcasts and enjoy this episode featuring Bill Hader!


From Ten Percent Happier:

The star of SNL and Barry discusses how he channels his anxiety into his work. Plus, an imitation of Joseph Goldstein.

Bill Hader has made the transition from being a master of stand-out characters and impressions on eight seasons of Saturday Night Life to becoming a true multi-hyphenate by creating, directing, writing, producing and starring as a burned-out assassin trying to break into Hollywood as an actor in HBO’s award-winning and critically lauded dark comedy, Barry.‍

In this episode we talk about:

  • How Bill deals with anxiety
  • His panic attack on live television
  • His love of directing and the importance of having the right collaborators
