Josh Peck on Breaking the Cycle of Generational Trauma
On today’s episode Ryan talks to actor Josh Peck about his experience growing up with a single mom and never meeting his father, the power of breaking the cycle of generational trauma, why parents have to embody the traits that they want their kids to have, and more.
Josh Peck is an American actor, comedian, and YouTuber. Josh began his career as a child actor in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and had an early role on The Amanda Show from 2000 to 2002. Peck rose to prominence for his role as Josh Nichols alongside Drake Bell's character in the Nickelodeon sitcom Drake & Josh from 2004 to 2007, and in its two television films in 2006 and 2008. His new book, which was released just yesterday, “Happy People Are Annoying,” is a humorous and candid memoir reflecting on the stumbles and silver linings of his life—including early struggles with food, drugs, self-esteem, and self-sabotage—and traces a zigzagging path to redemption.
