Summary
Mark Normand is a podcaster, an actor and a comedian.

But why is it so important to have a pursuit that you care about if you're going to do other, seemingly unrelated hard things?
Expect to learn the price that you pay for being a famous comedian, why Mark's life would fall apart if he didn't have a passion to care about, whatever happened to that lady who tweeted about AIDs, whether Cocaine Bear will be given the Oscar nomination it deserves, whether bombing on stage changes your personality and much more...
