From Auditions to Ovations: Hamilton Star Morgan Anita Wood’s Path To Broadway

When your dreams are nonnegotiable, you move differently. When success is not an option, but the only way, you have no choice but to fuel yourself with courage and keep moving forward. 

It’s how the greats found the courage to put their work out into the world for all to see. It’s how people do the terrifying, whether it’s climbing Everest, starting a business, or standing on a stage in front of thousands. And it’s how people like you and me, artists, don’t give up, even when the going gets tough. Even when faced with rejections. 

Falling short is inevitable. Failure is not. 

For anyone who’s ever wondered if their dream is too big — or if they had the guts to get there — this week’s episode is your push to reach for more.

Morgan Anita Wood’s Method of Success

My guest on this week’s episode, Morgan Anita Wood, is a star y’all. Literally! She’s currently starring in Hamilton on BROADWAY. Yes, THE Broadway. 

From standing under a marquee as a kid, to starring in one of the world’s most famous productions, Morgan shares her incredible journey with me. But this episode is not just about making it to the top, it’s a masterclass in truly believing that success is the ONLY option. 

Tune in to hear us discuss:

• How rejection can be used as redirection
• Why hope is so important, especially when the going gets tough
• Why we NEED community to succeed
• The power of preparation and diligent work

Whatever it is you want to do, Morgan is going to inspire you. 

Until next time, y’all!
