In Hollywood, it’s particularly hard not to compare your career to others’. Jay Kogen, a longtime, very successful TV comedy writer, shares thoughts on how to avoid making yourself miserable. I needed his wisdom and will want to re-listen to this episode occasionally to stay in the right headspace. We also cover how much advance planning Jay and I need for social engagements, how comedian Neal Brennan solved his stubborn depression, my number one tip for developing good habits, and Jay’s business idea for making them stick.

Awesome original music by composer Daniel DiPrima.
