ALAN RITCHSON: Biggest Fear with Reacher, Blessing and Curse of Bipolar & Connecting Through Pain

Alan Ritchson (Reacher, Blue Mountain State) joins us again this week for an open an honest conversation about his current mental health coinciding with the industry validation and massive success of Reacher.

Before Alan gets into the idea that he is more than just his work and his role on screen, he discusses the importance of focusing on now and showing yourself compassion - in relation to the difficult physique transformation he’s had to adopt.

We also get into the pros and cons of his mania, our ability to connect through pain, and the pivots he’s had to make heading into Reacher Season 2.
