Our guest today is the “Beautiful” actor, and we mean that literally and figuratively, Jessie Mueller! Jessie starred in Beautiful, the Carole King musical and won the Tony Award for her performance. Jessie also has been nominated for a Tony for the leading roles in Waitress, Carousel and On A Clear Day You Can See Forever. Her body of work is breathtaking and inspiring. As impressive as her acting career is, her social activism is equally as impressive. Jessie supports art education, LGBTQ+ rights, anti-gun violence, women’s rights, Broadway Cares and the Entertainment Community Fund. 
In this episode, Jesse joins the podcast along with Anika Larsen, a Tony Award Nominee and a climate devotee, to talk about the environment during Earth Month. This is part of the series, called The United Nations Global Goals where we talk about tackling the world’s “to do” list to make our planet a better place.
