Summary

Today on the show we have one of my favorite comedians, Nate Bargatze. If you’re not aware of Nate’s work, consider this intro a gift - he’s on a rocket ship right now, one of the top up-and-coming comics in the game. After listening to our conversation here, you’ll want to check out his brand new NetFlix special that just dropped. He’s laugh-out-loud funny and simultaneously has great insight around following dreams and creating success rather than hoping it “happens."

In our conversation we talk about his early life - how he found and decided to pursue his passion in the face of challenging odds (how many people become a standup comedian?), his earliest experiences of storytelling, and what it was like to have a father who is a magician and a clown. (It’s hilarious.)

In this episode we cover a LOT...

The difficulty of consistently creating good work and why consistency matters most
The benefits of staying uncomfortable...
The importance of life-long learning and community - to every creator. Must haves.
The power of saying ‘yes.'
The psychology of persistence and success - how to keep going when everyone else doesn’t see your dream.
…and lots more

Enjoy!
