"Oh, not another podcast with people just talking about their careers." Well yes...but no. On this show I deep dive with people who have excelled in a variety of fields but with an emphasis on HOW and WHY they got to where they are. The spotlight is on the specific things they did and why it got them to where they are today.

    Comedian - Nimesh Patel

    We're talking comedy this week with Nimesh Patel. He's been a writer on SNL, the Oscars and the White House Correspondents dinner.

Just a disclaimer that this is an explicit episode and despite my best editing, you can hear the the colourful hustle of a New York coffee shop in the background.
