💥Get Ready for BOLD, RAW, AND UNFILTERED TEARS & LAUGHTER! This week’s guest will knock your socks off… or maybe your shirt! We're stepping into the unedited, unapologetically real world of sensational comedian, BERT KREISCHER. 🚨HEADS UP: Normally, I mute language that may be considered offensive to some. But this week, Bert’s use of these types of words is so ingrained and organic to who he is that I made the choice to post the unedited version to maintain the flow of our conversation. ADMIT IT…when you found out that BERT KREISCHER was my guest, many of you wondered if we were going to talk without his shirt on. But let me tell you, there's so much more to Bert than his wild on-stage persona. Whether he’s fully dressed or topless, “THE MACHINE” is one of the hardest-working guys in the entertainment industry. He’s a podcaster, reality television host, and author who runs his own production company, continues to do stand-up to filled arenas, and has a must-watch movie out on Netflix based loosely on his life. This interview peels back the layers of one of today's most dynamic comedians, revealing insights and life lessons that are as profound as they are unexpected. But beyond his public image lies a man of DISCIPLINE, HUMILITY, AND DEPTH. In this episode, you'll get an inside look at Bert's journey with sobriety and his commitment to self-care, which recently led him to an impressive 40-pound weight loss. It's about finding and embracing those moments of joy that truly enrich life. Dive in as Bert opens up about: His unique relationships with fellow comedians Joe Rogan and Tom Segura. The psychological impact of his intense touring schedule. Confronting his mortality amid his struggles with substance use. The challenges and pressures of being a present, effective parent. Battling Imposter Syndrome despite his immense success. Understanding the root of his success and what drives him. The importance of fearlessness in both life and comedy. A candid discussion on death and the legacy we leave behind. Bert Kreischer has made us laugh countless times, but in this episode, BERT will also make you THINK, which is the mark of what makes a comedian and an observer of the human condition TRULY GREAT.
