They unpack everything from why he chose comedy as a vessel to express himself to all the lessons learned along the way. One of the interesting discussions is all about the realization that every performance might not be a great one, but you grow to greatness by learning from each experience and to pick yourself up and have the courage to stand tall and show up. So many of us face this in our lives, and it is comforting to learn from the best of the best in our country that this happens to us all.
