What can we learn from legendary comedians like Mark Twain and Dave Chappelle? Wayne Federman, Emmy-nominated standup comedian, actor, author, writer, producer, podcaster, and professor of standup comedy history (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon) has spent most of his life studying how the masters of comedy rose to the top of their game, and put these valuable lessons into his book, The History of Stand-Up. He shares how to survive constant criticism and rejection, choose happiness, and enjoy all the challenges of the journey of answering to your calling. - Join Cathy and Wayne on Aug. 19th for a free Zoom hangout https://cathyheller.com/wayne - Get the free workbook from this episode! https://cathyheller.com/482 - Listen to Wayne's first episode on the podcast https://www.cathyheller.com/2017/02/wayne-federman/ - Join Cathy and Sheri Salata for the free Do the Impossible workshop https://cathyheller.com/sheri - Watch our episodes on video https://www.youtube.com/cathyheller - Get Wayne's book The History of Stand-Up: From Mark Twain to Dave Chappelle https://amzn.to/36PrH7v - Listen to Wayne's podcast The History of Standup wherever you listen to podcasts  - Follow Wayne on Instagram @instafederman and Twitter @federman - Thanks Bambee!
