In this revealing episode of The Shuman Show, Kris Shuman sits down with veteran screenwriter and transformational coach Brooks Elms to unpack the emotional cost of ambition—and what it really takes to chase big goals without losing yourself in the process. Brooks has written over 25 screenplays, coached hundreds of creatives, and worked with everyone from rising talent to major studios. But this episode isn’t just about Hollywood—it’s about the inner work behind the outer success. Together, Kris and Brooks explore the tension between striving and surrender, burnout and balance, and why staying grounded might just be the most underrated superpower for anyone with a big vision.
