You might not expect a comedian to have the answers to some of life’s biggest questions. But then, Kyle Cease is no ordinary comedian.
After over 20 years of chasing what he thought was his dream — appearing in blockbuster movies and headlining comedy specials, Kyle suddenly realized that he was following the wrong path, and that he’d been accidentally postponing his happiness the whole time.
Heeding the call of his soul, he abruptly quit his stand-up career (despite being at the pinnacle of his profession) and reinvented himself as a ‘transformational comedian’ and New York Times bestselling author.
In this profound, moving, and (of course) very funny conversation, Kyle is sharing his one-of-a-kind wisdom and hardwon lessons on transformation and self-growth. Tune in to hear the deeply personal story of how I first discovered his work, the four little words you can use to transform your mental self-talk, his powerful reframe when you’re going through a loss or break up, why chasing money is stopping you from receiving it, dealing with guilt as a parent (and why it hits differently for mothers), and why falling in love with your fears can change *everything* about your life.
