In this episode, I'm joined again by the brilliantly fearless comedian Daniel Sloss.

We take a deep dive into a wide range of topics, including the realities of fatherhood, the dark side of anonymity on the internet, and the crucial distinction between kindness and weakness. Daniel shares his experiences navigating the emotional rollercoaster of going from performing for thousands of adoring fans to the daily grind of parenting young children.

We also explore how the line of what's acceptable in comedy is constantly shifting, the challenges of being a "sexist feminist", and the importance of self-compassion. Daniel reveals how embracing his flaws through parody on stage has helped him become more humble in real life.

And based on his new comedy show, we also discuss the bitterness that can creep in when comparing oneself to others and how focusing on what truly matters, like the love of family, can bring genuine happiness.
