Eps 159 - Interview with Michael Fishman (part 1)

“My job is to love in a certain way and help people heal in the time that they need me.”

In this episode, we have a very special guest, Michael Fishman. He’s known for his role as D.J. Conner on the popular TV sitcom 'Roseanne,' which ran from 1988 to 1997. But here’s the funny thing, When I first met him, I was unaware of his background. He initially came to me as a client for readings, and I was utterly astounded by everything that he possessed– his energy, gifts, talent, unique qualities, the person that he is, and his soul.

Michael is a part of Next Level Living, and as I get to know him better, I find myself genuinely adoring him. As a sensitive being, he has very interesting stories about how he navigated having a big consciousness at such a young age. Let’s listen to his whirlwind stories of how he unexpectedly landed a role in Roseanne even without any acting experiences or any connections in the entertainment industry, and how that fortune also fractured his family.

He also shared the significant lessons he learned from the show, as well as how being raised by a stern military veteran father led him to suppress his emotions as a teenager. What did being kicked out of the house teach him? How did he stay grounded despite the limelight? And how does he use his craft in the entertainment business to impact and uplift people? Find out the answers to these and MORE, so enjoy listening!
