Martin Sheen is one of the world’s most beloved actors — an Emmy and Golden Globe winner, a lifelong activist, and the man who inspired a generation as President Jed Bartlet on The West Wing.

But in this unforgettable episode of the My Legacy podcast, Martin isn’t playing a role — he’s baring his soul. Alongside his longtime friend and personal hero Father John Dear, Martin joins co-hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger to reflect on faith, family, and failure.

He shares the defining moments of his life — from battling addiction and the painful decision he made to help save his son Charlie Sheen, to the first time he crossed the line and got arrested for something he believed in — and how those moments became the foundation for a life of conviction, compassion, and courage.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever wondered how to stay grounded in your values, support someone you love, or keep hope alive in a broken world — with a little extra inspiration from President Bartlet to help us through these hard times.
