How My Huge Mistake Exposed Stars’ Dark Secrets

On this episode of Obsessed, Joanna Coles sits down with Michael Lynton and Joshua Steiner to unpack their book 'From Mistakes to Meaning: Owning Your Past So It Doesn't Own You' and the catastrophic errors that shaped their lives. Lynton revisits greenlighting 'The Interview,' which preceded the infamous Sony hack, while Steiner reflects on the diary that landed him in the middle of the Whitewater investigation. Together, they explore the psychology of shame, the difference between failure and mistake, and why confronting regret—rather than repressing it—is the only way to move forward.
