Hey guys, welcome to this episode of The Passionate View. It's Omar here. And today I'm going to be interviewing comedian George Wang. He's one of the new up-and-comers on the scene. And he's just done hilarious stuff all over Instagram and Snapchat. You guys got to follow the guy. I think you guys are going to really love this interview because George talks about what it was like being in the corporate world and kind of climbing

up that ladder and trying to achieve there versus knowing that his heart was pulling him towards

making people laugh, being funny and being a comedian. And now he's doing just that. And that's actually

how I met the guy at a skate park. We were skating and I would always see this guy. Come to find out,

he skates nearly every single day of the week.

And I just thought, man, if this guy is skating every day, making people laugh and figuring

out a way to financially support it and pursuing something he loves, he's definitely going to be

an inspiring dude to have on the show.

So hit him up and we're able to make this interview

happen. I hope you guys enjoy this one and really apply whatever philosophies George shares

that strike you powerfully into your own life and you guys use it to really help you take it

to the next level wherever you guys are trying to take your life. So with no further do,
