Listen "#17 "Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds” with Arian Moayed"
Episode Synopsis
Emmy-nominated multi-hyphenate Arian Moayed, (From Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Succession, to the Broadway’s Pulitzer Prize-winning stage alongside Robin Williams in Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo with Robin Williams), sits down with Michael and Ashley to discuss the friendships and philosophy that power his work. We trace the moments that shaped him—from movie-rental marathons and early theater obsessions to the Bill Murray “you’ve got one chance—do what you want” lesson that changed a scene and stuck for life. Arian opens up about co-founding Waterwell to make art in the service of communities, and the Zoroastrian mantra “Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds” that anchors how he shows up for people. Plus: a 90s hip-hop pump-up, the nicest wedding crash of all time, and why you can’t miss season 2 of Netflix’s hit comedy, Nobody Wants This.Join us in our friendship revolution, one HypeFriend (and one good deed) at a time!
