Liz Miele is a hilarious comic with an awesome special called "Self Help Me" which is available now on YouTube with over 1,000,000 views!

\\n

One day she posted on Instagram about the comedy industry\'s struggle with Spotify, receiving proper royalties, and even some comics\' content being pulled down altogether rather than the streaming giant paying them what they were owed. 

\\n

That inspired me to ask her to come on to talk about that, the modern options for independence, cutting out the middle man, and being able to connect to your fans on your own terms.

\\n

We got into Liz\'s superpower that she didn\'t always know she had, pushing the boundaries of what makes you comfortable, and the pay-off that can come with it.

\\n

Follow her on both Twitter and Instagram @lizmiele where you can find plenty of clips, content, and kittens (never wished that word started with a c more than right now).

\\n

You can also get her book, "Why Cats are Assholes" (true), and after you listen to this episode, you\'ll know that the final product is worth more than the sum of its parts.

\\n

Her podcast: "2 Non Doctors" with Maria Shehata is another look into her viewpoint on things that I personally really enjoyed and connected with.

\\n

She\'s got plenty of tour dates coming up all around the world, so buy some tickets at https://lizmiele.com/ or come to the Big Apple with me to see her at the home clubs!

\\n

Enjoy the episode? You can follow me @thelink_podcast on Twitter and/or Instagram.

\\n

Until next time...
