You may know today's guest actor, Joshua Jackson, from Dawson's Creek or The Mighty Ducks, or from his later shows, including Fringe, The Affair, Little Fires Everywhere, and most recently, Dr. Death, which earned him a People’s Choice award nomination. In this conversation (recorded over Zoom in the midst of the holidays), he  candidly shares lessons on navigating young fame, love and feeling worthy of it, what he’s learning as a new parent,  and how the vulnerable messy moments are where we grow. We talk about what his Broadway debut role in Children of a Lesser God taught him about listening and connection and how that has influenced his anti-racism work. He also tells me about his new production company, Liquid Media Group, which aims to create an easier path for independent filmmakers to share their content while allowing them ownership. 

He has enormous depth in his life experiences and I loved talking to him even more than I expected.
