Listen to Nova chat with Ben Giroux. Ben is an actor (known for the cartoon Big Nate), voice artist, director, and producer, who knew he was always destined to be an entertainer. As an entrepreneur, he runs a company called Small Red Cape.

Ben does what he does every day because he wants to make people laugh. He feels laughter is the greatest feeling in the world.

Ben talks about some of his challenges and how to get comfortable with them. He explains how some people choose what they do, and some people are what they do.
