    #283: Unlocking the Actor’s Mind A Veteran’s Call for Emotional Literacy with James Rojas-Taylor

    What if the greatest untapped tool for human development comes not from tech or science, but from the stage? In this compelling episode, a U.S. Marine-turned-advocate, James Rojas-Taylor, argues that the tools of modern-day acting hold the key to a new kind of literacy: mental and emotional. These aren't just performance tricks; they're life-altering techniques that build empathy, presence, grit, and emotional regulation. Backed by scientific data and lived experience, he makes a powerful case that acting tools should be taught as a foundational system for the human brain the most powerful supercomputer we know. If you’re ready to see theater not as entertainment, but as evolution, this conversation is for you. About Jim Jim is a first-generation American born and raised in New Jersey for his first decade of life then moved to Alabama which he has left and returned to a few times. He served six years in the U.S. Marine Corps and found himself turned into an actor via unplanned voice lessons. He spent over 20 years as an actor and in that time became a playwright, screenwriter, producer, and author, among other roles in life taken on in the pursuit of life. The latest and so far most important venture is to get this idea behind his book, “All Your Best Selves”, to teach emotional and mental literacy to the world.
