092 : Aparna Nancherla : Comedian & Writer

"For me it was very one foot in front of the other, let's see

where this goes but by no stretch of the imagination was I like,

'Oh this is what you're going to do with your life.' It was very

tentative." - Aparna Nancherla

During college Aparna (@aparnapkin) found herself directionless and

depressed. Aparna is now a full-time comedian and writer who has

written for Totally Biased with W Kamau Bell on FX and appeared on

Conan. Since our interview Aparna has written for the Late Show

with Seth Myers.

You'll hear Aparna discuss how she turned comedy into a career,

the power of patience, and that one of the biggest keys to success

is just showing up.
