Summary
Today's guest is stand-up comedian, author, and exquisite bread maker Tom Papa. With his latest book, We Are All in This Together… So Make Some Room, Tom shares his unique approach to comedy through joy and positivity and the profound hope that people don't feel alone in the journey we call "life."
One of the things that has always intrigued me and drawn me to Tom is that he is so kind, but if you look a little deeper, you see a true master of his craft. How does he have a non-wavering commitment to do it his way but still look like he is doing everything with ease and so little force? Tom shares what it feels like to be (almost) an empty nester and what happens when his wife does not like something in his act. With a 200-week streak on the Peloton, see which instructors motivate him to stay consistent on his fitness journey. Full of stories and laughs, Tom always makes me have renewed faith that there are smart determined people out there doing their best to contribute to the world with the gifts that they possess. Enjoy.
Key Takeaways:
- Behind the Scenes of Crafting a Netflix Special
- Breaking Out of Feeling Alone and Redefining Your Life
- Embracing Male Sensitivity to Deepen Relationships
