Your hosts, Ari Hader and Olivia Spirz, interview fellow artist about their spiritual practices and how it helps them with their art and career!
This episode begins with an Ari/Olivia catch up discussing last episode’s spiritual practice (Alec Engerson's homework of watching “Woman Under The Influence”). We then segue into a brief but quite loud meltdown from Ari about the anger she’s harboring towards this industry rn and Olivia very kindly brings in the light.
Our interview with Max centers around his navigation of the non-meritocracy that is a career as an actor and what he’s found to make it less stressful, his take on spirituality, and how simple kindnesses to strangers can be really transformative.
Max is the co-runner of Shakespeare Forum LA, a group of artists that meets every Tuesday night (for free) to perform, get feedback, and be radically supported by other artists: https://www.theshakespeareforum.org/
Come through! It's a great time.
