Jim Gaffigan (Linoleum, I\u2019m Too Lazy) joins us this week to share his journey as a creative - evolving from a realization that he may never be successful, to becoming a household name as a stand up comic during the Comedy Central heyday, and eventually pursuing indie roles as an actor to satisfy his need for creative fulfillment. Jim talks about his experience growing up as an outsider in middle America and how he had to battle anxiety and stage fright early on in his career doing standup. We also talk about the idea of handling rejection, how he weighs new opportunities in light of his wife\u2019s health, and the empty success of living up to someone else\u2019s expectations.\n\nThank you to our sponsors:\n\u2764\ufe0f Betterhelp: https://betterhelp.com/inside\n\U0001f9e0 Qualia Mind: https://neurohacker.com/iou\n\U0001f7e0 Discover: https://discvr.co/3Cnb1V8\n\U0001f9fc Dove Men Plus Care\n\n__________________________________________________\n\n\U0001f496 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/insideofyou\n\U0001f455 Inside Of You Merch: https://store.insideofyoupodcast.com/\n\n__________________________________________________\n\nWatch or listen to more episodes!\n\U0001f4fa https://www.insideofyoupodcast.com/show\n\n__________________________________________________\n\nFollow us online!\n\U0001f4f8 Instagram: https://instagram.com/insideofyoupodcast/\n\U0001f923 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@insideofyou_podcast\n\U0001f4d8 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/insideofyoupodcast/\n\U0001f426 Twitter: https://twitter.com/insideofyoupod\n\U0001f310 Website: https://www.insideofyoupodcast.com/\nLearn more about your ad choices.
