Our guest today is a Comedian and Actor..  He’s been a part of shows like Drunk History, Gotham, and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and more. He also hosts the podcast: Weird AF News - the only daily weird news show recorded in a closet with more than 1200 episodes and millions of downloads.  In this conversation I get to deep dive with Jonesy into his work, the world of standup comedy, and so much more. It was a really fun conversation.  I’m fascinated by the art of standup and the incredibly challenging work that comedians go through to develop their acts. I had a blast digging into all of this with Jonesy.  I think you’ll enjoy this one. In this episode you’ll learn: -What Jonesy does  -His transition to becoming a comedian -How Dan and Jonesy's podcast shows are growing.  -Exploring how opportunities work in this universe.  -How the skill of being a big reader helped on Jonesy's career. -How the real work is about manifestation (and why we need to be careful with that concept!) -How to endure failing in front of other people.  -Behind scenes of the comedian’s bit development process -About the weird news on the Jonesy show.  -Advice for when you feel stuck.
