This week on Love it Film, we’re thrilled to welcome actor, author, and producer Sean Kanan!
You probably know Sean best as Mike Barnes from The Karate Kid Part III and Cobra Kai, but his career goes way beyond the dojo.
Sean is also the Emmy-winning producer of Studio City, and he’s the bestselling author of Way of the COBRA and Welcome to the Kumite—two motivational books that blend Hollywood stories with powerful self-development strategies. His newest release, Way of the COBRA for Couples—a powerful guide to building strong, intentional relationships.
Sean joins us to talk about his journey from martial arts villain to motivational speaker, the return of Mike Barnes in Cobra Kai, and what it’s like creating meaningful content in both the acting and writing worlds. He also gives us a sneak peek at what’s coming next—so stay tuned!
Thanks so much for joining us, Sean!
