    Cosmic & Comedic Solutions with Betty Smithsonian

    "Even though a number of people have tried, no one has yet found a way to drink for a living." This week we're joined by comedian and business operations expert Betty Smithsonian. Is comedy teachable? Is self-awareness? Discussing sobriety and getting to the bottom of fear-based decision making, you'll somehow manage to find that you're still in a basement, and that's totally okay.

Tyler and Manny join us for their third round on Articulate, a checkpoint for reflection on their sanity. On this very real podcast, we discuss how you get worse with jokes as you progress in standup, comedic breakthroughs, and getting vulnerable.

    The Blind Filmmaker with David Block and Alex Kucy

    "When a child learns Torah, they bribe him with candy. When an adult learns Torah, they say it's okay if you do it for a selfish motive, because it becomes a pure motive."

We discuss David's motivations for deciding to take on the challenge of filmmaking, despite his visual impairment, and how it's impacted his creative endeavors along the way. theblindfilmmaker.com Belong by Moavii | https://www.youtube.com/@MoaviiMusic Free To Use | https://freetouse.com/music Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Hosted on Acast.
