Hey everybody I just want to take a moment to talk about a new thing I'm doing.

Over the years many of you reached out to me telling me how much you love the podcast,

but also wish there were more personalized takeaways and more in-depth interactions with our guests

to hear what they think about comedy.

This is why I'm now launching my new digital academy, Blueprint for Success.

With exclusive interviews and comedy philosophies of stars and industry veterans, personalized

versions of the Industry Standard Podcast, commercial-free, and one-on-one coaching time with me.

Blueprint for Success will give you the powerful tools that will take you up the elevator

beyond the competition and reach the highest possible levels to achieve your dreams.

Whether it be stand-up sketch, improv, acting, writing, producing, directing, hosting, radio podcasting, social media influencing, or even if you want a career

behind the scenes as a manager or an agent.

Now I'm here to help, personally.

We'll go on an express train of comedy

and entertainment like nobody else has before.

You can find out more about Blueprint for Success

and the comedy business on my website at Barrycats.com.

Together will take your career where you want it to go. It happens.

Movies bomb.

People get hated on, you know.

You just got to keep going. And remember one of my favorite moments. I was at a diner and this guy comes up to me and he goes Nick Swarton and I go yeah

He goes I just saw bucky Larson and I was like oh now where is this gonna go and he goes

fucking brilliant I go thank you he goes I know you're getting a ton of shit for it, but he goes, don't worry. He's like, you were really brilliant. And he's like, stand by that fucking movie and keep her head up.
