Petra Bagust interviews Jesse Mulligan about his experiences and perspectives on various personal and professional challenges.

In this episode I sit down with legend of the screen, print and airwaves, Jesse Mulligan for a candid conversation.

Jesse also opens up about the only time he cried on television, his challenges navigating romantic and professional relationships and his surprising perspective on ego and responding to criticism. This kōrero offers an authentic glimpse into Jesse’s unique blend of honesty, humor, and empathy.
