Ep. 34 | Mike Finoia - Dharma & Comedy

JAI DEV SINGH
About this episode

This week, Jai Dev sits down with comedian, co-host of There Comes a Time podcast, and fellow Deadhead, the very funny Mike Finoia.

 

The theme of this week’s conversation is most definitely resilience. Looking back on his career, Mike points out that the times that he has bombed or fallen on his face the hardest, ended up being the most crucial, wisdom-imparting moments that would most influence the trajectory of his life.

 

With a comedian on the pod, you already know that this is going to be an especially funny episode – but also, extremely insightful. The alignments between performing stand-up comedy and teaching dharma practices are truly profound: both occupations involve creatively leading your audience to a discovery of truth within themselves.

 

Listening to these two maestros of their craft describe their creative processes is an illuminating experience…this episode is not to be missed!
