This week, Tommy is joined by actor Milo Ventimiglia, whose career has spanned beloved television roles, heartfelt dramas, and unforgettable characters that continue to resonate with audiences. From being stopped on the street for Jack Pearson to reflecting on the lasting cultural impact of Gilmore Girls and its sharp, enduring writing, Milo looks back on the characters that shaped his career and the complicated legacy of playing a “toxic” love interest. He shares what he really thinks about Jess today, the advice he would give his younger self, and why he has never been afraid of rejection. This conversation also explores maintaining boundaries between work and home life and why separating emotion from career has been key to longevity.


Milo also opens up about stepping into I Can Only Imagine 2, taking vocal lessons and guitar training for the role, and how personal loss, including losing his home in the fires just before welcoming his first child, deepened his connection to the story’s themes of faith, resilience, and gratitude. He reflects on what having faith means to him, why relying solely on work for happiness can be dangerous, and what his relationship is like with fear. Milo also speaks candidly about letting life experiences shape creativity rather than the other way around.

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.
