Every comedian has bombed. Sometimes it’s an itty-bitty bomb. I call these cherry bombs. Sometimes it’s a big ol’ bomb that ruins everything in a thousand mile blast radius. I call these nuclear bombs. And I’ve been known to lob out a few nuclear bombs in my time.
Today’s episode is a conversation about big failure. About that feeling of “I ruined everything” and “what now?”
We’ve all been there and if you haven’t… don’t think you won’t.
After all, being human is a series of hard decisions riddled with a ton bad decisions.
It’s how we find our way. We make mistakes. We put them under the microscope. Understand why they exist, take ownership, and move the heck on.
