Olivia Munn (Your Friend and Neighbors, The Newsroom, The Daily Show) is an actor and advocate. Olivia joins the Armchair Expert to discuss accepting that a messy home with kids is not a sign of failure, the story of her family’s exodus from Vietnam, and the endearing best friend dynamic between her husband and her mom. Olivia and Dax talk about feeling powerful for other people by overcoming abuse at home, inventing her own language just so she could cheat in math, and not regretting sticking to her instincts despite its effects on her career. Olivia explains following the fragility of appearance in Your Friends and Neighbors, how life or death problems streamline your priorities, and why we so often spend our time in positions that are comfortable over those that are right.
