What happens when you’ve reached what everyone else would consider success, and you’re miserable? What happens next?
Zack Arnold, ACE, is an award-winning film and television editor, documentary director, and founder of the Optimize Yourself program. Throughout his career in Hollywood, he found himself editing the biggest show on cable tv, then the biggest show on broadcast TV, and even the biggest show in the WORLD on the internet.
But the toll those achievements took on his family, his physical health, and his mental well-being forced Zack to rethink his life.
In this second of a two-part conversation, we’ll hear what Zack did next – including his four year journey to become an American Ninja Warrior – and what the lessons he’s learned mean for all of us.
