Enjoyment is key to success: Comedian Mitch Fatel maintains that you can never be great at anything that you don't enjoy. Even if you achieve success, it's important to maintain your passion for what you do, or else you risk losing your edge.

My guest, Mitch Fatel, and I discuss:

• Mitch Fatel and I reflect on our shows together in 2004 and the great lesson on tipping he taught me about recognizing the hard work of service workers handling carry out.
• Mitch Fatel started doing stand-up comedy at the age of 15, which allowed him to gain a lot of experience and stage presence before he even turned 21 and restarted his career. This gave him a head start and helped him become successful faster.
• Mitch discusses the importance of pursuing one's passion and overcoming fear to achieve success.
• Mitch Fatel discusses his fear of letting people down and discomfort with too much success.
• Mitch discusses losing his enjoyment in stand-up and ultimately didn't enjoy performing anymore and how he rediscovered his passion
• -Mitch's new comedy special, Bad Girls
• and SO MUCH MORE!

Due to some adult language, this episode is marked 'explicit' - headphones on if the kids or co-workers are around.
