Control Is the Problem—LOSE YOUR MIND with Matt Del Negro and Josh Pais

Lose Your Mind with Josh Pais - overcome self doubt by letting go of control.

"The root of all bad acting is the thought, ‘I’m not enough’

In today’s episode, Matt sits down with veteran actor and recently
published author, Josh Pais (Lose Your Mind: The Path to Creative
Invincibility). You may know Josh from projects like Joker, Ray Donovan , Law & Order, A Man in Full or over 150 other credits.

Today, he dishes advice on how to keep your composure and your creative juices flowing in a long career. Or just in life.

As the founder of Committed Impulse, he has trained Navy SEALs, Oscar
winners, and startup founders to turn rejection, fear, and failure into high
performance fuel. His new book,
Lose Your Mind: The Path to Creative Invincibility
(Hay House, Sept 2025), offers deeply personal lessons and
practical tools for staying present through the unknown.
Josh grew up in a household where his dad worked with Einstein and later
became a counterculture icon - and his own life has been a study in
navigating uncertainty and rejection in Hollywood and beyond!
