One New Person

Today's guest is Michael Kent, an award-winning world class entertainer and self-described "comic, magician, and smartass." Michael was my hero as a young aspiring comedy magician, who graciously became a mentor from afar, and eventually someone I now call a colleague and a friend. He is one of the most thoughtful and considered artists I know, and this conversation was nothing less than enlightening. We discussed how to handle shame and self-worth as an artist or entrepreneur, how he found a niche in a hyper competitive field, and of course, Michael shares his story of a chance encounter with lasting impact. And like everything he does, his story is a brilliant twist on my established format. This conversation lasted for nearly an hour and 20 minutes, so you're only getting about half of it here.
