Summary

Ron Funches doesn't suffer from imposter syndrome, and it makes perfect sense, because he’s a truly talented and joyful stand-up comedian, and he knows it! During our conversation, we delve into his relationship with ambition, the art of comedy, and recognizing his successes. It's no wonder he has unwavering self-belief, he’s done the work. Ron's deep love for pro-wrestling and how it intertwines with his comedy is such an amazing metaphor for self-investment and pursuing our passions. My mind was blown about ten times during our chat, he was sharing such good wisdom with me that at one point I became speechless. Ron's standout quote of the episode was, “I am a vessel here to bring joy and I am the motherfu@king $hit!”
