In this episode of Thank You for Saying NO, comedian and actor Keith Johnson opens up about some of his NO moments in comedy and how those rejections became essential turning points in his journey. Keith shares how redirection helped him fine-tune his voice and lean into a style that feels authentic to who he is. Through humor, honesty, and a deep respect for the process, Keith reminds us that NO isn’t the end of the story—it’s often where the real work (and joy) begins.
