In this week's episode, we sit down with Sacramento-based comedian and TikTok sensation Sammy Edan. We get into when Sammy knew he was funny,  the importance of understanding your audience in any work you do, the idea of reengineering, pursuing the dream and working a 9 to 5, and Sammy's love for physics.
We also chat about the importance of not changing your COMEDY set for anyone, finding details in stories, how Sammy started making videos, existential growing pains, and the science of creating a beloved character by accident.
