Welcome to a special Monday episode on the Finding Mastery channel.
Every once in a while, we come across a story or a person that moves us in a profound way — and this is one of those moments.
Recently, I was invited by Aaron Lazar to join him on his new podcast, Impossible Dreams. Aaron is an incredible human — a Broadway and television actor, singer, and storyteller — who’s facing ALS with extraordinary courage, humor, and grace. He’s also pushing toward an almost unthinkable goal: to become the 64th person on record to ever reverse symptoms from ALS.
I enjoyed the conversation so much that I knew I wanted to share it with you here on Finding Mastery — to raise awareness, and to honor Aaron’s message about purpose, connection, and resilience in the face of life’s hardest challenges.
Takeaways from this episode:
- Why mastery of self — not just mastery of craft — changes the way we meet adversity.
- How awareness, self-talk, and gratitude can shift what’s possible in any moment.
- What it means to move from “my team” to “the team.”
- How purpose and love become anchors when life feels uncertain.
- The small, daily practices that help us stay grounded, connected, and alive to what matters most.
Enjoy this conversation with Aaron and myself — and let it remind you of the strength that lives inside all of us, even in the storm.
