In this week’s episode, I’m so excited to introduce you to Joel Byars, a comedian, podcaster, and writer based in Atlanta, GA. He has won both the Kenan Thompson Comedy Contest and Search for the One Competition, has been a writer for Comedy Central and The Weather Channel, and even the author of his own book, Finding Your Funny. He is the host of the award winning podcast, Hot Breath! Which features over 400 interviews with comedians like Jeff Foxworthy and Cedric the Entertainer talking all about the craft of comedy.

In this episode we talk about how to set small incremental goals to build upon, recognizing the source of where you’re getting advice from, what inspires him, how to battle self doubt and comparison, being grateful for where you are, the importance mediation and therapy has had on his life in the past two years, how he took what he wanted and created it himself and so much more.

I hope you enjoy our conversation and if anything that Joel says resonates with you, please share this episode on Instagram and tag me @levelupwithshay and Joel @joelbyarscomedy.

Thank you so much for being here. It’s time to level up.
