Growing up as a Blasian king in a predominantly white neighborhood certainly comes with its challenges, but it also shaped the hilarious comedy of our guest this week, Michael Yo. We had a fantastic time discussing his unique upbringing, and how he's made it work to his advantage as a comedian. Plus, we discovered how Michael's mother-in-law led him to our podcast, and how every sign seemed to point to him being on our show – talk about destiny!
We enjoyed chatting about our shared love for Las Vegas and the growing sense of community among entertainers in the city. Michael and I delved into the joys and challenges of parenting, and how his strict background has influenced his approach to raising his two kids. We also explored the rise of residencies for singers and comedians in Vegas, and how staying in one place for an extended period can benefit the artist.
Finally, Michael shared some invaluable insights on finding and owning your voice as a comedian, and how having the right mindset and perseverance is key to success. We touched on the importance of investing in yourself and your business, as well as the impact of crowd work in building a comedian's brand.
