Former U.S. Army Black Hawk pilot, CNN contributor, and The Daily Show panel guest Jo Ellis joins Jon Carden for one of the most fascinating conversations ever featured on Tammy's Boy.
Jo shares the incredible journey from serving as a Black Hawk pilot to pursuing stand-up comedy, opening up about growing up in a deeply religious household, homeschooling, military service, family, parenting, identity, faith, resilience, and what it means to keep moving forward after life takes an unexpected turn.
