EPISODE 63 : MIKE YOUNG

Mike Young knows what it means to bet on yourself.

Comedian. Writer. Director. Producer. But behind every title is a story built on the grind, adversity, unwavering belief, and the decision to keep going when the path wasn’t guaranteed.

Mike talks about believing he could turn comedy into a career long before the success showed up — trusting his instincts, staying committed to his passion, and having the self-belief to push through the difficult moments.

But one of the biggest lessons? Don’t get so focused on what’s next that you forget to enjoy where you are.

Success is fun. The grind is real. But life gets even better when you stop, live in the moment, appreciate the journey, and enjoy the people and experiences along the way.

Listen and learn. Life ain’t easy — but it’s all worth it.
