#125: Actor: Dylan Simpson – “I’m Different Now.”
This week on the podcast, actor Dylan Simpson joins me to talk about the moment acting grabbed hold of him and connected him to a feeling he had not felt since he was a kid.
We talk about creativity, ambition, and the “zone” that shows up in sports, performance, and art. Dylan shares how one acting class changed the direction of his life, why creativity is not sacred but meant to be used, and how he approaches his work with a Swiss Army knife mindset through acting, writing, and constant learning.
We also get into imposter syndrome, inspiration versus doing the work, and what it feels like to be fully present inside a creative act.
A thoughtful, honest conversation about showing up, following the thread, and letting creativity change you.
