Lewis Howes

I was in a TV series when I was 10 years old.

Okay.

So I had a childhood experience of acting.

And then that kind of fell to the wayside.

I just did that and had a childhood experience of it.

And then that kind of disappeared.

But I did have a relationship to the profession in a way.

And I think that's why even in this kind of

low state that i was in the idea of acting the seed had been planted even like at an earlier stage yeah and so then i started like applying for this theater school and and and then eventually i didn't get in right away i think i got the fourth attempt um then like this nervousness uh

just caught on again and it and it attached and this like these this kind of chatter um and these negative thoughts like latched on to that with a vengeance and um

And then I was dealing with it every time I went on stage, every time before, as soon as I heard the audience chatter, like the audience murmur, like my mouth would like filled with water and I was like, okay, here we go.

And I would actually, I would have a bucket prepared and I would like, come on.

Yeah.

But it could even be like, you know, just, you know, 10 people in the audience.

Really?

Every time.

Yeah.

The first three, four years of doing theater, it was, uh,

It was brutal.

It was brutal.
