Less Than One Percent

Hasan Minhaj - Breaking Barriers (Part 2)


Listen Later

In Part 1, Hasan Minhaj and Imamu Tomlinson unpacked what it means to challenge the status quo—whether in comedy, healthcare, or life. They explored how breaking cultural and professional barriers leads to real change. Now, in Part 2, they go even deeper. 

Minhaj reflects on his journey at 39: the power of persistence, the art of the pivot, and the lifelong pursuit of integrity. He shares the defining moment of his career (Homecoming King), cold-calls family members to discover his own superpower (toxic positivity?), and questions what truly makes someone successful. 

Meanwhile, Tomlinson opens up about his unconventional path—how he ended up leading in healthcare, why his base emotion is anger (in a productive way), and how he sees leadership as storytelling. 

And through it all, one truth stands: You don’t have to be the best. You just have to do your best.
