In each episode, Alexi goes deep with brilliant changemakers to learn about the mentors who made the biggest difference in their lives and set them on their path.

In this episode, Zach Braff talks with Alexi about his relationship with mentor Bill Lawrence, the creator of Scrubs and Ted Lasso. Bill was the first person to give Zach his big Hollywood break, casting him as the lead in Scrubs as the iconic J.D. Dorian. They also discuss the importance of being yourself, what Zach learned from making his debut feature film Garden State, the value of gratitude, and how to avoid shin splints.
