  • Leaving a Safe Career to Chase a Creative Dream with Jay Black

    Leaving a Safe Career to Chase a Creative Dream with Jay Black
    Jan 13 2026
    In this episode, I sit down with Jay Black, a former high school teacher who took a massive leap of faith and built a successful career as a stand-up comedian, writer, and creative storyteller. Jay's journey is a powerful example of what can happen when you bet on yourself, say yes to opportunities, and stay willing to start over in pursuit of something that truly lights you up. We talk about Jay's early days teaching in the classroom while secretly chasing comedy at night, performing in small clubs around Philadelphia, and slowly building the confidence to take comedy seriously. Jay opens up about his first stand-up experiences, the uncomfortable rooms, the nights that didn't go well, and how those moments shaped his voice as a comedian. Jay shares the story behind his big break on Showtime's White Boys in the Hood and how that moment became a catalyst for leaving teaching and fully committing to life as a working comic. From there, the conversation expands into his transition into writing, including how he landed opportunities writing movies for Hallmark and Lifetime, and what it's really like behind the scenes of those productions. We also dive deep into the evolution of comedy in today's world. Jay offers a thoughtful perspective on how social media, viral clips, podcasting, and digital platforms have completely changed the game for comedians. We talk about the balance between tackling serious topics with humor, navigating cold rooms on the road, and continuously reinventing your material so you do not get stale. Beyond comedy, this episode is really about reinvention, courage, and the skill of saying yes before you feel ready. Jay shares what success looks like to him today, the daily habits that keep him grounded, and why fear is often the clearest sign you are moving in the right direction. Whether you are a creative, entrepreneur, or someone sitting on a dream you have been afraid to pursue, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about risk, growth, and what is possible when you fully commit to your craft. In This Episode, You Will Learn How Jay Black transitioned from high school teacher to full-time stand-up comedian What the early days of stand-up comedy really look like behind the scenes How performing in uncomfortable and cold rooms builds confidence and skill The story behind Jay's breakout moment on Showtime How comedians pivot into writing for Hallmark and Lifetime movies Why saying yes to opportunities can completely change your career path How social media and viral content have reshaped the comedy industry The importance of constantly reinventing your material and creative voice How to balance serious topics with humor and authenticity What success means after building a long-term creative career

  • A Life-Threatening Wake-Up Call We All Need to Hear with Terry Weaver

    A Life-Threatening Wake-Up Call We All Need to Hear with Terry Weaver
    Jan 6 2026
    In this powerful and deeply moving episode, I sit down with my friend Terry Weaver to unpack one of the most terrifying and transformative experiences of his life. Terry opens up about surviving severe sepsis, an illness that landed him in the ICU for 10 days and very nearly cost him his life. What started as pushing through an important event quickly turned into a medical emergency that forced Terry to confront his own mortality in a very real way. We walk through the moments leading up to his hospitalization, including the pressure of hosting an event while feeling unwell and the warning signs that were easy to dismiss at the time. Terry shares what it was like inside the hospital, how quickly sepsis can take hold, and the reality of being told just how serious his condition was. This conversation sheds light on how fragile life truly is and how quickly everything can change. Beyond the medical crisis, this episode dives deep into what happens after you survive something that big. Terry reflects on how his near-death experience reshaped his definition of success, ambition, and productivity. We talk about the emotional toll of recovery, managing anxiety and racing thoughts late at night, and learning how to close mental open loops that keep us stuck in stress and fear. One of the most powerful themes of this conversation is community. Terry shares how the support of friends, family, and people he didn't even realize were paying attention carried him through the darkest moments. We explore the importance of deep relationships, showing up for others, and why real legacy has far more to do with connection than accomplishment. We also talk about gratitude in a way that feels earned, not performative. Terry shares how finding humor in difficult situations, letting go of what no longer matters, and embracing a new sense of freedom changed how he lives his life today. This episode is a reminder that success without health, connection, and presence is empty, and that the real work is learning how to live fully while we still can. In this episode, you will learn: What sepsis is and why it can become life threatening so quickly The warning signs of serious illness that are easy to ignore until it's too late How a near-death experience can completely redefine success and ambition Why community and support matter more than accomplishments during crisis Practical ways to manage anxiety, nighttime worries, and mental open loops How to reframe negative thoughts during recovery and high stress seasons Why gratitude becomes deeper and more meaningful after loss or trauma How humor and perspective can help you navigate even the darkest moments What it really means to build a lasting legacy rooted in relationships How to live with more presence, intention, and appreciation for life

  • What Losing Two Friends Taught Me About Living Fully

    What Losing Two Friends Taught Me About Living Fully
    Dec 30 2025
    In this solo episode, I open up about one of the most challenging seasons of my life. Over the past year, I've experienced the loss of two close friends and watched others battle serious illness. These moments shook me in ways I didn't expect, and they forced me to confront what gratitude really means when life doesn't go according to plan. This conversation is not about toxic positivity or pretending everything is fine. It's about understanding gratitude as a deep, intentional practice that often comes after disruption, grief, and pain. When loss enters our lives, it strips away the noise and reminds us what actually matters. Time becomes more valuable. Relationships feel more fragile and more sacred. The present moment stops being something we rush through and starts becoming something we protect. I share how these experiences reshaped my perspective on success, ambition, and what it means to truly live. As we look ahead to 2026, I talk about why it's no longer enough to chase goals at the expense of our health, our relationships, or our peace. Instead, I believe we're being invited to align our ambitions with our wellbeing, to set better boundaries, and to live with clarity and intention every single day. This episode is a reminder that gratitude isn't a buzzword or a social media caption. It's a decision we make daily. A decision to be present. A decision to love harder. A decision to stop postponing our lives for some imaginary future moment. If you've experienced loss, transition, or a wake-up call recently, this episode is for you. My hope is that it encourages you to pause, reflect, and start living more fully right now.
