Today’s episode is a heartfelt dive into the meaning of ‘home.’ As immigrants, many of us grapple with the idea that home isn’t just one place—it’s a collection of spaces, memories, and feelings that shape who we are. Our guest today, Robert Hartwell, a celebrated Broadway performer, has taken this concept to new heights—quite literally—as he embarks on restoring a historic home.
For Robert, this is more than just a renovation project. It’s a deeply personal journey of reclaiming space, honoring history, and carving out a future filled with hope and resilience. In this conversation, we delve into the significance of home for someone whose career has been defined by embodying other worlds on stage and how this restoration project reflects his evolving sense of identity.
