Riz Ahmed: How to Silence Your Inner Critic (And Build REAL Self Worth)

I have long deep history with this critical voice and this shame and I really think it can kill you, man. What part of you still feels like it doesn't belong? Different parts of me in every place that I go to. If you felt totally comfortable everywhere you went, then you're probably not in the right place. What is Riz Ahmed's dream?

External markers of achievement, the award, the round of applause. They don't nourish you on a soul level and the thing that I'm seeking now is a sense of flow. That moment when you forget yourself. Hey everyone, welcome back to On Purpose, the place you come to become happier, healthier, and more healed. Today's guest is someone I've been wanting to have in this seat for God knows how many years.

I'm joined by the one, the only Riz Ahmed Academy Award-winning actor, writer, producer and artist known for Sound of Metal, Rogue One and The Night of, and for bringing deeply human stories to life. Riz is currently starring in Bait. If you haven't seen it, make sure you do a series exploring identity and the tension between who we are and how we're seen. His reimagined film Hamlet and Digger, his new film coming later this year, please welcome to On Purpose Riz Ahmed.
