Craig Melvin is no doubt a familiar face on one of TV’s most popular morning shows. In this episode, he shares what it’s like behind the scenes.Some of the most common questions I get since he took the seat of Today Show co-host in January are what is it like, and how has it changed for him? Melvin and I talk about that and more, including the weight of visibility, the emotional demands of the job, and the unexpected peace he’s found through a hobby that has nothing to do with headlines. From the Today Show to his garage candle studio, Melvin shares what he’s still learning about ambition, identity, and finding meaning in daily life.What You’ll Discover:The surprising workload beyond the show itself (08:33)What it really takes to stay prepared under pressure  (14:02)Protecting your peace while living publicly (14:33)Why Melvin values interviews with everyday people most (19:44)The emotional cost of ambition, and how he’s reframing it (21:29)A surprising new passion for candle-making (31:42)How creativity is helping Melvin reconnect with what matters (34:44)This is a powerful reminder that even at the top, people are carrying invisible weight.
