In today’s episode, Jess speaks with Tim Federle, the producer of Disney+’s hit show “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.” He shares incredible insights throughout the conversation about his own experience being bullied as a boy, how being a theatre kid “saved his life,” and how he now gets paid for doing all the things for which people used to make fun of him.
Tim’s search for living The Good Life has him redefining his version of success, and he talks about how, as adults, we need to give ourselves permission to change our aspirations and dreams. Jess and Tim bond over their shared theatre roots, their love of connecting with kids, and how they both feel leadership is ultimately about bringing out the good in people.
