On this episode of “Tommy Talk,” Tommy discusses if work-life balance is really attainable. He explores what “balance” really means in today’s fast-paced world. Is it about splitting your time evenly between career and personal life? Or is it more about feeling fulfilled and in control of what matters most to you? Whether you’re climbing the career ladder, raising a family, building a business, or just trying to carve out more time for yourself, let’s rethink the idea of balance because maybe the real question isn’t whether work–life balance is attainable, but how you choose to define it.

Tommy Talk: WORK-LIFE BALANCE: MYTH OR REALITY? 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/8d615b8b-b9e1-4467-b545-b3f301498d63/transcript

This week, Tommy is joined by actor Eric Winter, best known for his role as Tim Bradford on ABC’s long-running hit The Rookie. Now heading into season eight, Eric reflects on being part of such a successful show and how his role has evolved alongside him. He opens up about Tim’s journey from a tough, controversial training officer in season one to one half of one of the show’s most talked about slow burn relationships. Eric discusses how the writers listened to fans in developing Tim and Lucy’s romance, the pressure of delivering storylines audiences are deeply invested in, and if he and Lucy belong together. He also shares what it was like filming pivotal moments for his character. Also, he shares how portraying law enforcement has deepened his appreciation for the real-life officers who inspire the series.

Beyond the show, Eric talks about longevity…what keeps The Rookie feeling fresh after eight seasons, the chemistry of a cast that genuinely gets along, and how social media and TikTok have reshaped fan engagement. He reflects on how he wants Tim to be remembered one day when the series ends. This conversation also explores entrepreneurship and launching his rum brand (Palm Republic Rum) with intention, his perspective on acting as a job rather than his identity, and the importance of taking time for himself outside of work.

On this episode of Tommy Talk, Tommy dives into the unwritten rules for calling, texting and FaceTiming. Is it ever okay to rogue FaceTime someone? Are voice notes longer than one minute annoying or actually appreciated? How long should someone take to respond to a text? Does anyone even leave voicemails anymore, and do they still have value? Tommy shares his millennial perspective, then turns to his two Gen Z producers, Celia and Steph, to find out what really triggers them when it comes to phone communication in 2026. From hot takes to hard truths, let’s see how many of these situations you relate to and whether any of our opinions change the way you think about communicating in the modern world.
