Over the close to 10 years of hosting this podcast, I’ve had the incredible honor of interviewing some truly amazing and extraordinary people, many of whom are unfortunately no longer with us. These individuals were some of the most brilliant comedians, managers, writers, and directors I’ve ever had the privilege of meeting, but even more importantly, they were my friends. Part 2 of this special 2-part episode is a collection of some great stories, advice, and insight these men all shared on Industry Standard over the years. I hope that by listening to these extraordinary individuals you can find inspiration in their words the way I did, and use that inspiration into taking your own career to the next level.
