About this episode

Lola Berry chats with actor Damien Strouthos about his career and insights on resilience in the creative industry.

In this episode of Fearlessly Failing, I was lucky enough to sit down and chat with actor Damien Strouthos about his incredible career, from Shakespearean beginnings to TV and film success. We dive into his experiences with theatre, including a memorable story about stepping into a role with just 24 hours' notice. Damien shares his insights on resilience, AQ (adversity quotient) which wwas coined by Dr. Paul Stoltz, and it measures an individual's ability to handle difficult life circumstances and remain resilient, and the importance of having a supportive tribe. Damien also talks about his podcast, The Resilient Actor, and how it's helped him connect with others in the industry. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone looking to build their resilience and navigate the ups and downs of a creative career.
