Episode notes

Stand-up comedian and impressionist Matt Friend joins Don Saladino on Stronger to share his journey from viral TikTok fame to the stand-up comedy stage. Known for his spot-on celebrity impressions, Matt opens up about the grind behind building a career in comedy, handling failure, and staying consistent in the face of setbacks.

Don, who also coaches Matt in the gym, connects Matt’s growth on stage to the same principles that drive results in fitness: discipline, confidence, and daily reps that build long-term success. Together, they break down what it really takes to perform at a high level—whether in front of an audience or in everyday life.

This episode is packed with lessons on resilience, finding your voice, and building confidence through small, consistent habits.
