Here’s a super short episode, only 3 minutes in length. I posted this quote on my personal Instagram a couple months ago (@bigran82). I wrote a long caption explaining my thoughts on it and how it relates to my life. I turned that caption into audio and now it’s available through my podcast.

On the podcast this week, I have Maj Toure joining us. He’s from Philadelphia and is currently on a tour around the country promoting his Black Guns Matter movement. If you haven’t heard about it yet, he’ll go into all the details in this episode.

The organization has been going on for about a year now, but it’s been gaining a lot of traction over the past few months. He’s been featured on several other podcasts, blogs, as well as some of the biggest news stations out there. So I was honored for him to take time out of his busy day to share his story with the Risk Without Regret audience.

On today’s episode, I talk with Andrew Norelli. Andrew is a standup comedian and has been doing comedy for the past 18 years.
He talks about working a boring sales job for a few years that eventually helped push him into comedy.
From open mic nights where nobody would show up to several years later performing on all the popular late night shows, we’ll go through his whole journey from the beginning. We also talk about what it takes to be a comedian these days, the type of dedication that is needed, and how all of this can relate to you if you’re thinking about going down a path that’s different than the typical 9-5. Which most of you hopefully are.
I hope you enjoy this episode and be sure to subscribe to the podcast here!

“The professional cannot allow the actions of others to define his reality. Tomorrow morning the critic will be gone, but the writer will still be there facing the blank page.

“Just go for it. Do not let fear hold you back. Hustle and run after your dreams. Don’t let anybody else tell you that you can’t do it. And don’t let the fears and doubts inside of you tell you that you can’t do it either. Just go for it, because you can. If you are willing to dream big enough and work hard enough and run fast enough after it, you will get where you want to be.” -Stephanie Langford
