In this episode of Why Am I, I sit down with Colton Holder, Director of Operations for the Arkansas Renaissance Festival. Colton’s path took him from theater kid, to soul-crushing sales job, to unexpectedly helping build a Renaissance Festival from the ground up. We talk about identity, performance, community, finding your people, and why giving adults permission to play might be more important than ever. This conversation explores how stepping into a character can help you discover parts of yourself you didn’t know were missing.
