The legendary comedian says you don't have to be tortured to be an artist, he doesn't need an index card of achievements in his pocket anymore, and even the bad trips have led to good destinations.
Neal Brennan is a three-time Emmy-nominated writer, director, producer, and standup comedian known for his critically acclaimed Netflix specials 3 Mics, Blocks, and Crazy Good and for co-creating Comedy Central's iconic Chappelle's Show. He also hosts the hit Blocks podcast, where he talks with guests about their own personal blocks.
In this episode we talk about:
Talking back to your inner critic
Why the worst psychedelic trips might do more good than the beautiful ones
The myth that comedians have to be miserable to be funny
The "decoy" that keeps smart people chasing validation forever
Why achievement became Neal's most embarrassing addiction
