EPISODE 233
Nothing … and Everything
Enrico Colantoni, pt. 2
Veteran Hollywood, Broadway, TV Actor/ King Napper
Enrico is back. One of the earliest supporters of the podcast, he first joined in Episode 2 (May 2020). We pick up where we left off, diving into big what-ifs and deeper questions.
Enrico Colantoni is a veteran actor across film, Broadway, and television. In this conversation, he shows up simply as himself—curious, grounded, and searching.
We explore belief systems and “untraining,” an out-of-body moment on stage, staying aligned with what is, and the risks of tribal thinking. The conversation moves toward purpose, home, and how questioning our own beliefs can reshape everything.
