Summary

Stephen Amell (Arrow, Heels) joins us again this week for a deeply reflective and grounded conversation about identity after Arrow, taking responsibility when projects fail, and learning how to let go of ego in both career and life. Stephen opens up about Suits LA ending abruptly, why he still considers it one of the best experiences of his career, and how perspective changes when you stop trying to control outcomes. We also talk about auditioning later in life, creative humility, and why sometimes the best move is to step back and let the knot untangle itself.
