About this episode

Joel Kinnaman, Swedish-American actor known for The Killing, Robocop, For All Mankind (season 5), Altered Carbon, and House of Cards, opens up about battling anorexia, debilitating stage fright, panic attacks, and self-loathing while building a 16-year Hollywood career. He discusses overcoming performance anxiety through radical preparation, the psilocybin experiences that accelerated his self-awareness, and why success in his career has not translated to consistency in his personal relationships.
