Jon Xue Zhang | 130 auditions for 1 job: visualising your future like remembering the past | F&T#34

Jon Xue Zhang is an actor, stunt performer, martial artist, sports psychologist, and musician known for playing Blood Boots in Netflix series The Brothers Sun and Ram Man in the upcoming Masters of the Universe film.This week, we talk about the work that goes into landing acting jobs, why "not now doesn't mean not ever," and how visualising your future like remembering your past can shift how you show up.We discuss the difference between acting under pressure and being under pressure, why anxiety isn't always something to avoid, the tension between athletics and aesthetics, and what 33 years of martial arts has taught Jon about being the best version of yourself.Plus: fight choreography, thick skin on social media, sleeping 10 hours a night as a flex, and why you should never trust your emotions after 9pm.Catch more of JonIG: https://www.instagram.com/jonxuezhang/?hl=enWebsite: https://www.xue-zhang.com/Showreel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOBXSDIjY6MFitness & ThinkingForget six packs – we look at six pillars of fitness: physical, mental, social, spiritual, emotional and financial.The newsletter goes out on Wednesday mornings.New episodes land on Apple Podcasts and Spotify on Wednesday evenings, and on YouTube on Thursday mornings.Subscribe / follow:Apple Podcasts (audio only): https://podcasts.apple.com/no/podcast/fitness-thinking/id1840384710Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5kFI7JcGD6kSUfYa4RPPl5YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@fitnessandthinkingSubstack: https://fitnessandthinking.substack.com/Want to build F&T with me?I’m looking for an editor/producer and a social media manager.Get in touchEmail: [email protected]: https://www.instagram.com/fitnessandthinking/
