- Entrepreneurship
On this week’s episode of Eating While Broke, Coline welcomes veteran comedian, actor, writer, producer, and one of the forefathers of podcasting Marc Maron over a home cooked meal fit for a president. Marc takes us behind the scenes into the chaotic 1980s stand-up scene, discusses maintaining over 24 years of sobriety through highs and lows, building his comedy career through constant gigging, enduring a painful divorce, and eventually launching his massively popular WTF podcast out of his garage in 2009 by just following his passion.
Marc offers insight into pivotal moments like precarious financial situations that almost pushed him to quit entertainment, and mental health issues stemming from self-doubt and disappointment. Yet despite numerous close calls along his non-linear journey, Marc maintained belief in his comedic voice and remained determined for decades to the unrelenting demands of stand-up. He explains how he leveraged his profound longform interview style into unprecedented opportunities.
Marc and Coline bond over The Maronated Burger, staying resilient against extreme odds within such an unstable industry, never forgetting where you came from, and remaining grounded in your core gifts rather than getting distracted by money, fame, and comparisons in the age of overnight viral success.
