Theo Rossi is most notably known for his role as Juan Carlos "Juice" Ortiz on FX's Sons of Anarchy, and he also starred in Netflix's Marvel series Luke Cage. He is a father, husband, a friend to me, and just an overall good dude. Theo is filled with so much wisdom, so be prepared to hit pause, rewind and take in what he's saying. His rebirth story comes with hardship, loss, and abandonment, but it also has a huge, huge appreciation of life and living it to its fullest.
Key Takeaways
- Theo used to kick himself when he made a mistake. Now he sees it as a stepping stone to get to his next destination.
- Theo grew up believing he had to make money, no matter how or whether it was right or wrong, just do it.
- At the end of the day, what's Theo really chasing? If he has everything, then what's next? He was sold a dream that he didn't even really want.
- His dad always prioritized work over family. As an adult, Theo realized he is thankful that his dad wasn't in his life.
- Growing up in New York City, fighting was just part of normal everyday life. You had to be competitive and aggressive to succeed.
- Theo and one of his childhood friends were thinking back on their lives. The best times of their life had nothing to do with money. It had everything to do with laughing, being together, and the special moments in between.
- Theo is a product of loss at a young age. He started losing people at a young age and it never stopped. There are certain things that happen in your life that can propel you forward through a lot of phases.

- Theo, as a father, is very happy that he is making a positive influence on his children.
- Theo could hold resentment for his father, but if you don't let something go, then what's the alternative?
- You have to remove the noise that distracts you and really listen to yourself. Listen to what the world is telling you. You already have all the answers, you just need to take a pause to listen to them.
- Theo never had any examples of what a good relationship looks like in his life. It's taken him time to understand his wife and how they're both different. Relationships take time, patience, and understanding.
