What I learned on a Monday night at an open mic in Los Angeles
Mar 14, 2017

Own your jokes that don't get the laugh. Own your style that makes you YOU.

Own everything that you do and deliver it with confidence like no one in the world can do.

Winning is great, but for there to be a winner, there must be a loser. A finite game (a game with a clear and defined ending) must have a winner and a loser.

Sure, we can start a new game when one ends by making new goals and a new set of rules, but this will simply lead to more endings, more winners, yes.. but also more losers....

You're not as important as the audience, so stop believing that you matter more than they do.
