This week’s guest is the first one to also appear on NBC’s The Today Show. Alex Wood is a comedian, podcaster, and now author. As you’ll hear, Alex has struggled with addictions over the years, and chose to document them in his incredible podcast Alex Wood Quits Everything, revealing so much of himself that it was an inspiration for me starting this podcast. And it has now turned into a recently published book titled "Float Like a Butterfly, Drink Mint Tea", about comedy, addiction and boxing. Alex has performed at the Montreal Just For Laughs festival twice, as well as at Kevin Hart's "LOL Network”. We talk self-confidence, writing, and a LOT of boxing. Music by Devin Bateson.
