In this episode we explore what comedians can teach us about timing, tenacity, and the transformative power of failure. From the brutal honesty of open mic nights to the uncanny pattern recognition honed through relentless practice, we unpack why everyone should step onto a stage at least once in their life, not for applause, but for awareness.

I share stories (including a ahem, friendly debate: my wife vs. Dave Chappelle), and we dig into the tension between confidence and competence, the pain of being disliked, and the artistry of staying curious when things fall apart. Comedy isn’t just about punchlines, it’s about presence, craft, and the courage to keep showing up.

We talk about:

Why failure is a powerful form of feedback.
What your relationship with humor says about your relationship with yourself.
How to extract insight from every performance and carry it forward.
The power of contribution through well-crafted ideas (heartfelt thank you to Denis Waitley).
And what to do when what once lit you up… no longer does.

This episode isn’t just about comedy. It’s about craft, curiosity, and finding meaning through expression, even when the world doesn’t clap.

Because sometimes, the most important audience… is you.
