Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum

Jim Gaffigan (Linoleum, I’m Too Lazy) joins us this week to share his journey as a creative - evolving from a realization that he may never be successful, to becoming a household name as a stand up comic during the Comedy Central heyday, and eventually pursuing indie roles as an actor to satisfy his need for creative fulfillment. Jim talks about his experience growing up as an outsider in middle America and how he had to battle anxiety and stage fright early on in his career doing standup. We also talk about the idea of handling rejection, how he weighs new opportunities in light of his wife’s health, and the empty success of living up to someone else’s expectations.Thank you to our sponsors:❤️ Betterhelp: https://betterhelp.com/inside🧠 Qualia Mind: https://neurohacker.com/iou🟠 Discover: https://discvr.co/3Cnb1V8🧼 Dove Men Plus Care__________________________________________________💖 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/insideofyou👕 Inside Of You Merch: https://store.insideofyoupodcast.com/__________________________________________________Watch or listen to more episodes!📺 https://www.insideofyoupodcast.com/show__________________________________________________Follow us online!📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/insideofyoupodcast/🤣 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@insideofyou_podcast📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/insideofyoupodcast/🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/insideofyoupod🌐 Website: https://www.insideofyoupodcast.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
