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.

That Was Us
This week on That Was Us, we’re thrilled to be joined in studio by actor and director Jennifer Morrison, who brought Cassidy to life on This Is Us. Jennifer reflects on her journey from acting to directing, the challenges of transitioning from fantasy to grounded drama, and how This Is Us unexpectedly changed her life in a very real way. In this episode, Jennifer chats about: * Playing Cassidy across Seasons 4–6 and navigating her place within the Pearson family * The love quadrangle between Cassidy, Kevin, Zoe, and Nicky * Transitioning from Once Upon a Time to the grounded realism of This Is Us * Why she still had to audition for the role—and what that experience taught her * Her evolution from actor to director and why she feels she has more to contribute behind the camera * The intensity of shooting 100 scenes in 12 days * The challenges of proving herself as a director after years of acting * Her early experiences directing short films and her first feature, which sold to Netflix * Her time on House and the demanding pace of network television * Growing up in a marching band–focused household and how it shaped her work ethic * The surreal story of buying Dan Fogelman’s house after feeling an unexpected connection to it * What makes great writing so impactful for actors and why This Is Us scripts felt like a gift.
