Musical Director of Hamilton (the globally sensational musical), author of children’s book, Captain Perfection, and just a human being, perfectionism might be rearing its head.

At age 43, Julian suffered a heart attack. Cause? Workaholism and perfectionism.

As a young boy, Julian’s piano teacher was his mom, and playing the right note often felt like the only way to gain parental love. When we strive for perfection as a kid, we set up the rest of our lives for some unnecessary pressure. Julian and Amy talk about Perfect Equilibrium, a balancing act to find the simple bliss of life.
