That Was Us
This week on That Was Us…we’re back with another Chat Was Us! This time, inspired by the many journeys of ambition and self-discovery in This Is Us, we’re tackling one big question: What does it really mean to be successful? From chasing dreams and career milestones to fulfillment, purpose, and legacy, Mandy, Sterling, and Chris reflect on how their definitions of success have evolved over the years. In this episode, the hosts chat about: * How their definitions of success have shifted from external achievement to personal fulfillment * The difference between being successful and feeling successful * Why our brains naturally fixate on failure and how encouragement can quiet the inner critic * The role childhood competition, sports, and early ambition played in shaping their drive * Fame versus fulfillment, and how public recognition differs from lasting happiness * The career milestones that made them feel like they had finally ""made it"" * Why longevity, meaningful work, and the respect of your peers matter more than awards * The artists and mentors who have redefined success through decades of purposeful careers * Why passion (not money) is often the clearest path toward purpose * How luck, preparation, and saying ""yes"" to opportunity all play a role in building a career * Raising children to value effort, curiosity, and joy over simply winning * The legacy they hope to leave behind and what a truly successful life looks like at the end Plus, along the way, the conversation takes a few unexpected detours into childhood summers, Slurpees and hose water, youth sports, camp counseling, terrible self-talk, and an emotional compliment game that reminds the hosts just how much they mean to one another.
