I Quit Hollywood - The 'Cosmic Bitch Slap' That Changed Everything | Dan Buettner Podcast

He played Vincent Chase, the quintessential cool Los Angeles heartthrob who had it all. But behind the fame, money, and women, Entourage star Adrian Grenier was chasing an "empty pursuit" that left him feeling "never loved enough".

In this shocking and vulnerable interview, Adrian opens up about the "cosmic bitch slap" that made him leave the pinnacle of Hollywood and trade dopamine hits for a deeper purpose.

Listen as Adrian reveals:

What life really felt like at the "white hot core of LA partying" and why chasing constant "carnal pleasures" and status was an "ever receding horizon".

The private jet epiphany with an 85-year-old oligarch that made him shudder, realizing he was on a "direct path" to a life he didn't want.

The devastating heartbreak in his 40s that forced him to confront his "selfish patterns" and "destructive patterns".

How getting "ungrounded" led him to find his "North Star" by literally digging in the soil, moving from "virtue signaling" to "virtue living".

Don't miss Adrian's journey from Hollywood vanity to a richer, more grounded life on his farm, proving that hardship can often be our best teacher. It's a raw conversation about what we think we want versus what truly brings us happiness.
