Ep. 51 | How The Sausage is Made

How the heck do you become a professional comedian or podcaster? That's what this episode is about. I ain't making money from this yet, but I know what I have to do to make that happen. I go into great detail on what it takes to be a professional stand-up comedian, getting better at podcasting, Kill Tony, and not letting other people hoard power over you.
