## Resource

Bob Odenkirk joins us for a layered and unexpectedly vulnerable conversation about reinvention, ego, and mortality. Bob breaks down the exact moment he decided to pivot from comedy and Saul Goodman into full blown action films, why he refused to wink at the audience in Nobody, and how real life rage from a home invasion became creative fuel. He also opens up about collapsing on set from a heart attack, losing a week of memory, and the hard reality of limited time at 63.
