Sure, he was a Navy SEAL. Yes, he's become an established actor and producer. But most of all, David B. Meadows is an articulate thinker, a trait cultivated after years of introspection and accumulated self-knowledge. What a conversation we had. His operating system - how he has managed to live two very different lives while blending the best of both together and avoiding the negativity - is more than worth hearing. We covered so much ground - how the military makes you a better actor, how to balance the “actor’s ego” with the military’s “team-first” mindset, the struggle of shaking off your military identity to lose yourself in acting roles. By the end, our phones were buzzing with missed texts, emails and calls - our friends and family probably thought we were missing or being held hostage. It was a conversation that I’ve continued to reflect on every day since we talked.
