Hey everyone, it's Myam. Welcome to My breakdown, the place where we break things down so you don't have to.

New Year's is tomorrow, and I hope everyone's having a great holiday season thus far. And also,

in case you're feeling maybe a little bit overwhelmed or anxious or maybe excited about what 2025

will hold, we want to share this early episode of Myambi-ambiolix Breakdown, which was one of the first

episodes where Jonathan and I realized we were onto something special with this podcast that we

hadn't originally intended. Basically, we found out if you ask the right questions and provide

the right conditions, people will open up and share about what it is ultimately to be human with others who are on a similar journey.

You may know a lot about a person. You may know awards that people have won, success that they've had. You may know facts and figures about them.

You might know a lot about someone's evolution as a person. You might admire someone. Maybe you're

even envious of their looks, their fame, the ease with which they seem to navigate the world.

But we really don't know people until we look under the hood, as it were. And when we talked to Cheyenne Jackson, he revealed

so many things about his story, his upbringing, his journey from growing up in a religious

cult of sorts to being a liberated and proud gay man who starred in dozens of Broadway musicals,

multiple award nominee, award winner.

He forged a path through depression and through darkness

that many of us never get to hear someone discuss

the way Cheyenne discusses it.

That's why as we near the end of 2024,

we're bringing you this very special interview

with the immensely talented, deeply

introspective and unbelievably honest, Cheyenne Jackson.

Enjoy.
