Episode description

Today I’m sharing an episode of Mentor Buffet—a new podcast hosted by Alexi Pappas—where the Olympian-author-filmmaker goes deep with brilliant changemakers to learn about the mentors that made the biggest difference in their lives, and set them on their path.

In this episode of Mentor Buffet, Zach Braff shares with host Alexi Pappas about his relationship with his mentor Bill Lawrence, the creator of Scrubs and Ted Lasso. Bill is the first person to give Zach a big Hollywood chance and he cast him as the lead of his show Scrubs as the iconic J.D. Dorian. They also discuss what it means to be yourself, what Zach learned making his debut feature film Garden State, the importance of gratitude, and how to avoid shin splints.

Mindsip insights from this episode:

Embrace 'Amor Fati' to cultivate resilience

Instead of just accepting what happens in life, the concept of 'Amor Fati' encourages you to actively love your fate, which is a more powerful mindset for resilience.

Utilize sauna for bonding and mentorship, reserve cold plunge for reflection

The sauna can be a great place for bonding and mentorship sessions, while the cold plunge is reserved for quiet time due to the intensity.

Change socks at lunch for a mental reset

A director's trick for a mental reset is to change into fresh, dry socks halfway through a long day, which provides a psychosomatic feeling of a new chapter.

Discover community to build self-belief

Finding a community where you feel you belong, like a theater camp for a non-athletic kid, can be an epiphanous moment that builds foundational self-belief.

Set a mid-day gratitude alarm for stress relief

To break up the day and reframe stress, set an alarm in the middle of the day to take a few moments for a gratitude meditation.

Gain indirect mentorship through insightful podcasts

You can receive mentorship indirectly by listening to podcasts, as they can provide the words for feelings you have but couldn't articulate, helping you feel less alone.
