Rory O’Malley (The Book of Mormon, Hamilton) is a fellow performer of inspiring perspective and heart and kindness.  In this episode, we discuss the parts of us that are driven by ambition - how powerful it can be in the life of a younger performer, and how that ambition is so often driven by the need to be seen, to be validated, and ultimately, to stave off the pain of shame. Rory shares how his ambitious parts have entirely transformed through his experience as a parent, and as someone whose values have found home in family, health, curiosity for the moment.
