WELCOME TO THE ARTISTS AND EMOTIONS PODCASTSAM FORD is a professional video editor, health and fitness enthusiast musician, and overall creative with a flair for life that is palpable. On this episode, we discuss how Sam backed away from his acting pursuits to start his own video editing business and the benefits he saw. We also go into depth about how many actors are doing things out of a sense of obligation, instead of a means to enrich their lives and the way they see the world. It has been nearly a year since Sam was on the podcast and it is an incredible joy to have him back on.

The Artists and Emotions Podcast is a show dedicated to breaking down the toxic messaging that the entertainment industry and our work-obsessed culture keep peddling about success, hustling, and having a life as a creative person. If you are someone who feels like you can never get ahead, overwhelmed, and depressed when you look at the world around you, this show is for you. Join us and have a listen, you may come away with some new insights to help you live a happier, healthier, and more creative life.
