## Resource

More of my interview with 'The Big Bang Theory’ and ‘The Audacity’ star Simon Helberg. Simon tells me about the unfortunate way he found out ‘Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip’ was cancelled, how he untied his self-worth from achievement, and how parenthood brought more perspective. Plus, I share a funny time at this restaurant that involved his ‘Big Bang’ costar Jim Parsons. This episode was recorded at El Condor in Silver Lake, Los Angeles. Learn more about your ad choices.
