Inside Acting

In Episode 241, at the 2016 halfway point, Trev and AJ take some time to step back and take stock of the journey – both personally and professionally. As always, the reflection focuses on three simple but powerful questions: what’s working, what’s not, and what’s next. There’s a whole new level of vulnerability here, as well as a few promises made.
