Actor, comedian, filmmaker, and college-football-internet legend Josh Mancuso joins us to unpack the classic piece of bad advice: “A jack of all trades is a master of none.”
Josh breaks down why that mindset almost boxed him in, how trying lots of things actually moved his career forward, and why it’s never too late to start the project you’ve been sitting on. He talks family, creativity, burnout, mascots, viral videos, and chasing a dream on your own terms.
If you’re feeling stretched thin, pulled in twelve directions, or just trying to remember what month it is, this episode is the perfect reset.
A great listen for creatives, multi-hyphenates, sports fans, and anyone figuring out their next move.
Tune in and enjoy this special re-release as we get ready for the big holiday episode of The Worst Advice I Ever Got.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
