Mike Colter (Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Evil) joins us for a deeply reflective and grounded conversation about confidence, discipline, and what it really takes to sustain a career in Hollywood without losing yourself. Mike opens up about early support versus later self doubt, nearly being pushed out of grad school, and how proving people wrong became fuel rather than resentment. He talks about why Luke Cage changed his life but never defined him, why he values trust over prestige, and how self worth comes from being comfortable alone.
