Today's episode is a wide-ranging Interview with Zach Braff, one of those rare famous people who's really willing to go there. 


You may know Braff from the TV show Scrubs or the movie Garden State but Braff is actually a genuine multi-hyphenate; a true triple threat. He acts, writes and directs his own movies and other people's TV shows including Ted Lasso on Apple TV. Relatively recently he put out a new movie that he both wrote and directed called A Good Person starring Florence Pugh and Morgan Freeman.  


In this episode we talked about anxiety, depression, insomnia, addiction, grief, social media usage, and what he means by "learning to love your fate"—a notion that is literally tattooed on his wrist. 


This Interview was conducted in person at the TED conference in Vancouver this past April.
