This week we’re talking to Joe Fenti—comedian, content creator, and the guy who applied to 200 jobs on LinkedIn and got zero responses (relatable, right?). Joe ditched the corporate grind to pursue comedy full-time, and now he’s cracking jokes about insufferable bosses and the absurdity of job hunting on LinkedIn. We dive into how he balances stand-up with social media, why creative contracts make or break a brand deal, and the surprising lessons he learned after accidentally competing in a drag queen show at age 10.

Discover:

• Drag, but make it accidental – Yes, Joe’s first stage performance was a drag show. No, he didn’t plan it.
• Job applications: 200. Responses: 0 – A LinkedIn nightmare that somehow turned into comedy gold.
• Quitting corporate to chase comedy – Because sometimes “pivoting” means running in the opposite direction.
• Brand deals without selling your soul – Joe’s figured out how to make partnerships easy and keep his creative freedom. Go Joe!
• The fine art of roasting the job market – If you can’t beat the system, at least you can make fun of it.

If you’ve ever hit “Easy Apply” 50 times in one sitting or wondered how to turn rejection into a creative career, Joe’s got you covered. Plus, you’ll learn why building a comedy community is essential—and how keeping your content fresh keeps you sane.
