    #221 - From Jehovah’s Witness to Stand-Up Success | Chris Robinson

    In episode 221 of The Johnny Rogers Show, I sit down with Chris Robinson to talk about his word for the episode, “optimism.” From a strict Jehovah’s Witness upbringing to filming his own stand-up specials, Chris shares how visualization and belief in a bigger future helped him turn comedy from a dream into a career. We unpack the evolution of a comic’s voice — from imitating legends to developing a uniquely conversational stage presence — and the technical realities of performing everywhere from intimate theaters to massive venues.

    In episode 220 of The Johnny Rogers Show, I sit down with Randy Cobb. His word for this episode is “Determined,” and it perfectly captures a journey shaped by trauma, resilience, and an unshakable belief in his dream. From a chaotic childhood to chasing country music in Nashville — through failed record deals, running a trucking business, and devastating personal loss — Randy never stopped writing, never stopped creating. This is a raw conversation about vulnerability, perseverance, and what it really takes to stay in the fight.

    #218 - Mistakes I Made on Purpose: Max Sheldrick on the Comedy Grind

    In episode 218 of The Johnny Rogers Show, I sit down with Max Sheldrick. We explore his "Effort" philosophy and the game-time decision to shelf his filmed comedy special after eighteen months of labor because it no longer represented the comic he had become. Max details his journey from working midnight shifts in a machine shop and repairing wind turbines to a "miracle" encounter with a call center manager who owned a comedy club. We discuss the release of his audio album, Mistakes I Made on Purpose, the 80-hour work week of a touring comedian, and why high-effort creative work is the only sustainable path in a world of low-effort clips.
