The creator of Comedy Central, former President of Court TV, and author of Constant Comedy: How I Started Comedy Central and Lost My Sense of Humor, Art Bell joins us this week on the Shadows Podcast!
While working at HBO, Art Bell had an idea for a 24/7 all-comedy channel. He pitched the idea to the head of programming and was told, “It’s the worst idea I’ve ever heard.” He didn’t let the rejection crush his dream. That idea eventually became known as Comedy Central.
Art talks about his upbringing, why humor is essential in every aspect of life, his jobs at CBS, HBO, creating the Comedy Channel, the merger with Ha! to create Comedy Central, his time as President of Court TV, and his book, Constant Comedy.

Episode 5 of Rise From The Shadows: Behind the Mask is now available at https://linktr.ee/shadowspodcast or www.theshadowspodcast.com.
Every day we interact with other people’s masked versions of ourselves. Most people have a select few that they allow to unmask them. Often, our biggest struggle isn’t understanding others, but it’s trying to figure out who we are. When we pull off our masks and do some soul searching, it’s scary and frightening, but it can also be grateful and rewarding.
This week we have the power couple Noble and Kathy Gibbens joining us for the Rise From The Shadows! First, we have a guest returning to the Shadows for the third time. He’s an Emotional Intelligence Coach, founder, and host of the EQ Gangster Podcast, Noble Gibbens! He’s here today to pass along eleven emotional intelligence principles.

On this Black Friday edition of Rise From The Shadows, we welcome Scott Mason back to the Shadows!
During this episode, Scott tells the story of listening to Leroy Garvin playing the harp at his mother's church every fourth Sunday while singing "A Motherless Child." That song resonated with him as an adopted child.
Scott discusses his journey from being born in England as Calvin Fronz Crowdey to being adopted by an African-American family and moving to Kansas. He struggled to come to terms with not being wanted by his family and was raised in an environment that opposed his destiny. He often wondered what his life would be like if he were still Calvin.
When he was 12-years old and his family was on vacation in Denver, he walked into a bookstore, and a cover spoke to him. It was D'Aularies' Greek Myths. The theme of heroes rising from adoption wasn't uncommon in this book, and he could relate to Percious and Moses. This book gave him a sense of hope that allowed him to face the monsters that he would eventually have to slay in life and was able to overcome his shadows.
Scott also encourages us to find our personal avatar through Greek Mythology.

Sha Sparks returns to the Shadows to discuss that voice inside our head. That voice can hurt us if we allow it to, but we need to realize that it can also empower us.
On this episode, Sha talks about how in life we all want to belong, be heard, not be alone, and to be loved. However, the road to get there can be a tumultuous one. Sha is a believer that our childhood experiences shape our adult decisions. She began drinking at the age of eleven, broke her knee, fell into depression and by the age of fifteen she was drinking every day. She even received a DUI at the age of sixteen. She then became trapped in an abusive relationship for years. It wasn’t until she came to the realization that we get to choose who we are and how we live our lives. This is where Sha began to understand that hurt people, hurt people and empowered people, empower people.

We often live with the weight of others’ expectations. We’re told who we should and shouldn’t be. It could be high academic standards placed on our shoulders by our parents or peer pressure from kids at a young age. We have those periods in our lives when we feel like we’re an outsider, but that can be a wonderful gift. That’s when we get to write our own journey and you can begin to own who you are and have a true sense of personal fulfillment.
