Showing Up No Matter What  
Podcast: The Playbook With David Meltzer

Description: In today’s episode, I’m joined by James Maslow and Justin Guarini for an honest conversation about showing up when conditions are far from perfect. We talk about discipline as a daily decision, managing resentment on the road, and why consistency matters more than circumstance. James shares lessons from touring while sick, building multiple businesses, and protecting routine in chaos. Justin reflects on Broadway, identity, and using perspective to serve others at the highest level, even on off days. Together, we unpack prioritization, non-negotiables, and how mindset, health, and preparation shape long-term success across entertainment, entrepreneurship, and life.
