Show Notes
Real talk about never fitting into social circles and why I always create my own lane. In this episode, I share how I've never really been part of a crew or group from high school to now - whenever I try to be part of a social circle, I find myself putting aside what I want to do to please the circle. Learn why I had to create my own thing with podcasting, comedy, guitar, programming, and YouTube, and why "why not?" is my premise when people say I'm supposed to do it a certain way. I discuss why my comedy is cleaner than other comedians (it's my lifestyle and how I choose to speak - not doing it because others do dirty), following myself instead of following the crowd, and why it works when I keep my head down and work on it my way. IMPORTANT: I explain why I choose not to have women friends as a married man - friendships eventually turn into relationships, anything past professional belongs to my wife, and I tell her everything about women in my DMs. My wife is my best friend. I also talk about bumping heads and tension when you choose your own lane, politics in circles where you learn new skills, navigating professional relationships in podcasting/comedy/music/trucking, and why it's okay to keep things at a professional level. Choosing myself over the crowd, learning to navigate tension, and creating my own lane.
