b'\\u201cThere is a fine line between Anxiety and Excitement\\u201cThis interview will rock you.How is it that some people can tell a story in a way that not only holds your ATTENTION but that makes you LAUGH uncontrollably?If anyone has the answers, it\\u2019s DANE COOK.Because DANE has been doing just that for more than 30 years now through his albums, television appearances and specials, as an actor, and especially as a prolific stand-up comedian.This week, we\\u2019re going to pull back that curtain, and Dane is going to reveal his PERSONAL JOURNEY and tell you things you\\u2019d never thought you would hear from one of America\\u2019s funniest men.One of Dane\\u2019s greatest strengths is as a storyteller, and in my opinion, he\\u2019s one of the most COMPELLING STORYTELLERS I\\u2019ve ever heard.\\xa0 It\\u2019s one thing to tell jokes that get a reaction, but quite another to go deep about some part of the human condition and connect with people on a completely different level.The best comedy also rises from PAIN AND ADVERSITY.\\xa0 Dane is no stranger to that either, dealing with a half-brother who defrauded him for almost everything he had.\\xa0 And that only scratches the surface of the hardships that Dane has been through.In fact, so many things piled up in his life that, at one point, Dane almost quit the business.\\xa0 You need to hear how he used that time and those experiences to RETHINK his life and REDEFINE his expectations going forward.Great comedians like Dane also carry around a certain amount of ANXIETY as well.\\xa0 In fact, the fine line between anxiety and EXCITEMENT is where they find the best and most relatable material.We\\u2019re also going to talk about the public side of Dane as well. \\xa0He\\u2019s got a lot to say about building a social media brand (he\\u2019s an original and one of the best) and how he deals with CRITICISM and HATE.\\xa0 Listen to Dane\\u2019s take on the fine line between locking out those haters and taking in enough so that you can REFLECT and INTERPRET things is gem-mint thinking.\\xa0 We\\u2019re also going to talk about the right and wrong ways of TYING IDENTITY TO SUCCESS.You\\u2019re going to love a GREAT INTERVIEW with the GREAT DANE this week. \\xa0It\\u2019s not what you\\u2019d expect, and that\\u2019s no joke\\u2026\\n\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
