In the second part of the interview Lamar and I get into his funny experiences working at Madam Tusseaud's wax museum in Hollywood and JCPenney and finally starting off his comedy career at an improv theatre. We also go into his thoughts on activism and how it relates to buddhism and how we're all connected and all that - AND what all of it means in terms of the art he creates and the life he lives.

Meet Sharon, a visionary landscape architect who sees this world as a place that can be improved as a healing, creative space for all. She has had a tough road to a stable life with purpose, though. She left her church, which for her particular case, seemed more of a cult. When she left her religion behind, she also left her parents. From a foster kid, to an immigrant with uncertain legal status, Sharon found her own spirituality and purpose and now shares that wisdom and strength today with her community and her two daughters. This is a real story of being broken down to nothing, being built back up to a place of purpose, and sharing that purpose with others - Sharon is a real example of a hero's journey.

Meet Lamar Woods - comedy writer, actor, and proud producer of his first feature length Comedy, "It's a Party," about up and coming rappers in Atlanta hilariously fighting over a cake made of money - that's my description not theirs.

This is one of three podcasts about people who found their hero's journey by leaving a religious institution. We get into Lamar's Buddhism, identity as a rapper, a Jehovah's Witness, and being a man dedicated to being famous, being funny yet meaningful, and much much more.

Enjoy one of my favorite people and take a deeper look behind the curtain of a very funny entertainer.
