On this week's episode of Excelsior Journeys: The Road to Creativity, host & producer George Sirois sits down with actor, writer, and stand-up comic Anand Mahalingam. A college dropout who spent his first years in Los Angeles sleeping on friends' couches, Anand pushed himself to get on the stand-up comic stage and not only made a name for himself on the comedy circuit, but also as an actor who can be seen on For All Mankind and How I Met Your Father. He can also be seen as the lead actor in the short film Ronnie California: The King of Artesia. In addition to sharing his story about his various creative outlets, Anand & George also discuss the impact made by the fires in California, their thoughts on stand-up comedy, and much more.

The Excelsior Journeys podcast exists primarily as a platform for creatives of all kinds (authors, filmmakers, stand-up comics, musicians, voice artists, painters, podcasters, etc) to share their journeys to personal success. It is very important to celebrate those voices as much as possible to not only provide encouragement to up-and-coming talent, but to say thank you to the established men & women for inspiring the current generation of artists.
