Welcome! In this episode of the Level Up! Podcast With Shay, Edgar shares a lot of stories from growing up as the awkward kid, to creating a persona named Edgar Van Aces to feel powerful, coming up in the comedy scene in LA and how he continues to be a successful writer through his focus and nihilism. From an outsider\'s perspective, when Edgar first came to LA it seemed as if he just showed up and *poof*, magically gets on a house team for one of the three biggest improv schools in the city. But like many stories of the successful, he had been doing some sort of comedy and putting himself on stages since 2009. One of the coolest qualities about Edgar, to me, is that even though he believes that he\\u2019s bad at everything, he still TRIES. And turns out, at least with enough practice, he\\u2019s really good! His life and this episode is just another great example of if you put in the work, you will reap the benefits. At the top of the episode, Edgar also shares some great ways to help with the #blacklivesmatter movement if you aren\'t protesting.
