He is a Grammy Award winner as a principal soloist on Hamilton’s Original Broadway Cast Recording, which won the 2015 award for Best Musical Theater Album.
Odom, Jr. made his Broadway debut at the age of 17 in “Rent” before heading to Carnegie Mellon University’s prestigious School of Drama, where he graduated with honors. He is the recipient of a 2002 Princess Grace Award for Acting, which is dedicated to identifying emerging talent in theater, dance and film.
Additional theatre credits include “Leap of Faith” on Broadway, for which he won the 2012 Astaire Award for Outstanding Male Dancer on Broadway and was nominated for a Drama League Award; the 2014 musical “Venice,” which also played at The Public Theater; and the Encores! Off Center production of “Tick, Tick... Boom!” which was his first time working with “Hamilton” creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda.

When Leslie started, his only dream was to be in Rent. When he made it, he was left to find a new dream. He struggled for a long time not finding any work. One day his eyes were opened by a mentor as to what he was doing wrong. He wasn’t respecting his industry.
He had to show the universe what he wanted. He started taking beginner acting classes, and really researching every brand, role, producer, writer, etc before going out for an audition. The moment he made this mind shift, the universe responded and he was booked non stop for six years.
Amazing.
You really need to learn from his wisdom on this one.So, learn how to combat your fear of failure, mentally prepare for huge opportunity, and how to be an advocate for yourself, on Episode 677.

Just bought his book yesterday! Excited for this interview!
"Greatness is maxismising your individuality"
Perfect definition!
Lewis! Thank you for interviewing Leslie! I am an actor and to hear him talk about his life and the ups and downs was incredible. Please have more actors in the future!🙏🏽🙏🏽😊😊
Thanks Lewis
I loved what Leslie said about showing respect to a business partner/employee/customer/client
and what you pulled out regarding the need to be grateful
THANK YOU! Leslie Odom Jr. is not only an amazingly talented guy, but he is so genuine. This was a great interview, with lots of useful takeaways.
Brilliant!! Thank you! Great interview. 😊👍🏼
"The phone didn't ring today. What did you do today in the absence of a ringing phone?" Bruh... This is so powerful. If you can just grab it, and let it change you. So, so powerful.
Yes, that was one of my favorite lines too, Sorilbran Stone.
Same here. It makea you realize that you can still do SOMETHING even while your waiting fot that phone to ring. Nobody ever got anywhere sitting and waiting by the phone!
Thanks Lewis and Leslie this interview hit the heart there is a song called Amen and I sing everyday waking up.
I love it when people talk from their heart and this interview was a great experience. His story is incredible and inspiring! Grateful to Lewis for bringing such amazing content for us to learn!!
I guess it's kinda randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to watch newly released series online?
@Madden Seth Flixportal :)
@Keegan Grant Thanks, I went there and it seems like a nice service =) I really appreciate it !
@Madden Seth No problem :D
This interview is incredible! Lewis, you have an amazing knack of asking the right questions to get people to open up. Please have Leslie at The Summit of Greatness, if possible. He is amazingly insightful!
I own a start-up, some days are rough (like today)...I respect what LOJ is saying because I can relate to the harshness of trying to make it. I call it the wilderness. However, I do realize there is glory in fighting these battles. I'm currently embracing the process and this is great motivation. Ironically, I'm not familliar with Mr. LOJ, so this is TRULY inspiring because i have no bias. Good interview.
I love that!..."the wilderness". Well YOU sir have just inspired me. I am currently trying to step out towards what I feel is MY truth.
It did indeed, thank you!
I very much so appreciate spreading the motivation...you WILL find your truth because you are seeking it. A friend once told me, "go to your destiny," I encourage the same mindset for you!
Donte McBride that “wilderness” is great line. It’s not easy. I’m trying to hold strong in my own business after quitting my job to pursue my dreams
Donte McBride we are all striving and working towards our goals but as y'all see we can't let the failures hold us back. Use them as lessons and do better nxt time since you will have then known better. Even if it's one step, that's one step further then we were before the failure. It may be a wilderness but theres a pack of us wolves out here that KNO the struggle. Keep pushing guys! It will pay off!💁💪
Truly a hustler mentality!!! I have so much to learn and there are so many things i want to do!
Thank you Lewis for this interview I love Leslie Odom Jr. Very inspirational young man.
Oh sweet Lewis, this was so needed! I am so glad you interviewed Leslie. Wow wow wow.
Lewis Howes I think it would have to be when Leslie talked about lighting up and showing up for people at 100 percent all the time. I have to make a lot of phone calls as I am growing my concert ministry and sometimes after the umpteenth call you lose a little steam and that fire goes out. But if you can watch things like this that inspire you on a regular basis and take action, as Leslie suggests, the work will come. Don't get discouraged or focus on the no's. Because the person behind that one that said no just might be your yes. Thank you for always sharing your positivity. I watched your new FB live show. I believe in you and your mission and wish great success and abundance for you and the lives you inspire every day. Love your content and look forward to it every week.
i watched him perform at long wharf and meet him truly amazing person!
Leslie is special - thoughtful, purposeful, dynamic
I loved this. Love love looooove it
Thank you so very much for your great content! Always learning a lot from you!
Lewis Howes And that’s why my family and I are inspired by you and loves you...(my latest favorites are the interview with Mel Robbins, and the talk with Flavia Calina)👍🏼( and I can’t believe you actually read and answered my message) 😲😃🤗🤪 God bless you in all your endeavors and much more success!
I can relate to looking at 30 and like I need to make some changes. I'm 29 but last year I looked at my life and say i want to be here by 30
Rich Williams right I think its cuz were finally at the end if our 20's and for alot of us life starts at 30 lol. We truly look at life and are like "I'm not a kid anymore". Its crazy how it just hits you all of a sudden
I’m 5 years late watching this lol but I really enjoyed ! I also bought the book about 2 years ago and it was a great read!!
You know , you know , often hear the word you know..but great story motifation..👌
Love this 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
Some of My 💎’s
You’ve got to get out of your own way
If you want something you’ve got to bring the full force energy of your personality and self belief and “come rushing in the door”
You know the truth by how it feels
If you take one step, the universe will take two more for you
When you make a decision the universe will test your resolve and commitment to it
"You know truth because of how it feels" - thank you for speaking truth to me. When Leslie shared "before you quit, I'd like to see you try first" I knew exactly what I needed to do differently. THANK YOU!
WHOAAA!!! Energy of this show is HIGH!! Love it, great content Lewis. Keep up coming with educational and inspired video's.
Thank you for this interview lewis it’s one of my favourite :) I’ve never heard of Mr. Odom that’s why I really appreciate you :) Thank you Mr. Odom
I’d never heard of this guest until today - this is so powerful - thank you!
Great interview! The "test your resolve" really resonated with me. Thanks for sharing this story 💯
I will be ion that sit in 5 yrs from today. -written from my couch. see you then!
I love Leslie and I love this interview. I hope he watched this video and see what I see, as a black mother.
Also, Hamilton on Broadway is still amazing even with the new new cast. It’s a testament to what they built.
Enjoyed this conversation Lewis with Leslie.
Thank you for this! You are a great interviewer.
Love, love, love Leslie. Just what I needed to hear!
What movie is he talking about? I didn't catch the title. The movie that's been in the works for ten years.
Never mind it's called Blindspotting. Wish I the vid would have come out earlier. Stopped playing near me I would have to go about 30 minutes to see it in another theater
Thank you so much for this. His lesson on getting out your own way and bringing your whole self and believing that although one person didn't hire you, that you'll get hired by someone else really struck home. This interview couldn't have been timed any better for me since it's just the lesson I needed to hear.
KSKSKSKSKKSKS HES JUST LIKE AARON BURR
Also, Blindspotting is amazing!
Leslie and the GOAT! Two inspirations...💯➕💯👍
6:34 Wow...hit close to home.
LOL the "amennnn" at the end
37:00, 50
Who did he say? @ 43:06
I believe it's Bublé...Michael Bublé. When they mentioned "his kid," they were talking about his son, Noah, who was diagnosed with liver cancer. Saw a story that he's doing better now.
I didn't wanna be cliché and say this, but 25:10 - 26:25 really feels to me like a comparison of Hammy and Burr. Think about it.
