Summary

Tony Rock is a super stand up comedian. And he's also Chris Rock's brother. He stars in CBS' newest comedy, "Living Biblically," based on my good friend, AJ Jacobs' book. Tony's been working on his comedy muscle for 24 years, so I wanted to ask him about his process. And how anyone can adopt this process for their own projects or side hustles. These are Tony's techniques to bring your ideas from the drawing board to action.
