405 - John C. McGinley: When to Quit Your Dream & When to Go All In

John C. McGinley has been in 80+ movies, he's been in six Oliver Stone movies and all nine seasons of "Scrubs." And now, he's celebrating the 3rd season of "Stan Against Evil," where he's acting AND writing. We talked about acting, improving, auditioning. We talked about the pressure and who should not get into acting... But then about 45 minutes in, I asked him about his experience parenting a child with down syndrome. Four days into his son's life, John had to make life or death decisions about heart surgery. His life focus changed completely. It had to. And John rose up to it. This podcast really touches on all aspects of life... everything from having a dream to fulfilling it and then seeing your life rotate. Something I think a lot of people can relate to.   I write about all my podcasts! Check out the full post and learn what I learned at jamesaltucher.com/podcast.   Thanks so much for listening!
