In this episode of 2 Worlds Collide, I sit down with Jarryd Goundrey—former soldier, chef, and now full-time stand-up comedian who’s carved his own path from the Army barracks to sold-out comedy clubs.
Jarryd’s story is one of raw resilience, brutal honesty, and a relentless pursuit of purpose. From working in high-pressure kitchens to performing in front of two people on a Monday night, he’s pushed through the discomfort to find his voice on stage—without ever losing touch with his military roots.
We dive into what it really takes to live outside your comfort zone—and how embracing discomfort is the key to growth.
💡 In this episode, we cover: 👉 The grind of making it in stand-up and why most people quit early 👉 The dark side of the hospitality world and walking away from being a chef 👉 Living outside your comfort zone and why it’s essential for growth 👉 The power of not caring what people think and backing yourself anyway 👉 Reconnecting with the veteran community and finding a renewed sense of purpose
