Comedy can be a challenging business with ups and downs that will challenge even the most ardent soul. One minute your material is killing it and fans are laughing out loud, rolling in the aisles and the next minute, you can’t sell a ticket to save your life. Everyone enjoys a good laugh, but let’s be honest for a minute: making people laugh is a rough way to make a living. But sometimes, the universe sends a gift capable of navigating the terrain and coming out on the other side, standing tall!

Our guest today is a true comedic gift and a man who understands that riding the wave is part of the success journey. Ben Gleib is one of the pre-eminent voices in comedy today and also a man who knows a little bit, make that a lot, about a few other things including politics, public speaking, and overcoming fears. Today, he stops by to share his story which includes a presidential run, stints on major networks, a whole lot of fun, and life lessons, along the way. It’s a great discussion with an incredible talent and one that will make you laugh a little and think a lot!
