The Paradox of Success and Happiness

In this new episode Steven sits down with Stephen Glover, better known as the star of Jackass, Steve-O.

After graduating from Clown College in 1997, and recording various death defying stunts on camera, Stephen became Steve-O, a member of the MTV series ‘Jackass’ in 1999. Since then, Jackass has become a cultural phenomenon with 3 TV series and 4 number one box office smash hit films. After battling addiction and becoming sober in 2008, Stephen has diversified his career, starting stand up comedy in 2013, creating the ‘Wild Ride! with Steve-O’ podcast in 2020, and writing 2 best selling memoirs.

In this conversation Stephen and Steven discuss topics, such as:

• Stephen’s ‘insane’ childhood
• His mother’s alcoholism and later illness
• Why he thought he would be dead before the age of 25
• His anger at the idea of death
• Feeling guilty for being successful
• Becoming sober and escaping addiction
• How heartbreak led Stephen to find stunts
• His constant need for attention and how it has driven his life
• Why Stephen feels as if he is defective
