How did this start?

· · 9 Comments

Ya ever ponder how seemingly minor events end up completely altering your life’s trajectory?

A conversation between me and my dad when I was 6 years old led me to be a steadily working actor and founder of Committed Impulse.

You could even say this father & son conversation actually led to the connection between YOU and me.

Here’s how it all started…

I want to hear from you!
1) What emotion do you feel RIGHT NOW?
2) Can you experience it as moving atoms? In what way are those atoms moving?

Leave a comment below.

Questions are always welcome!

Have an atomic day!
Josh

    Dear Josh,

    I loved listening to this. Cyclical thoughts…if your in your head, your dead…
    Just gotta ask, hope you don’t mind…were you an only child?

    I never thought of fear and anxiety feelings this way before. Super interesting and helpful. Thank you Josh.
    I am going to remember this next time I have a panic or emotional shutdown moment.

    I love seeing this, Josh!
    It reminded me of this story when you told it to us in the basement of the New School.
