Why Taxes Are Evil And What To Do with Gatsby The Artist

In this episode we cover why taxes are evil, the concept of being a sovereign citizen, the value of time, the comedy industry, and the importance of defining success in comedy.

Gatsby and I discuss the impact of taxes on funding wars and the frustration of not knowing where tax money is going. We also touch on the idea of being a sovereign citizen and the freedom it entails.

The conversation then shifts to the value of time and the pressure to conform to societal norms in terms of work and productivity. We discuss the comedy industry and the sacrifices and compromises that come with pursuing a career in comedy. Gatsby and I also explore the importance of defining success in comedy and the different paths one can take to achieve it. The conversation covers various topics including the challenges of being a comedian, the importance of self-care, the comedy scene in different cities, and unique marketing strategies.

I share my comedic journey, including my time as a sports agent and a bestselling author. And lastly, we touch on the dynamics of comedy contests and the entertainment industry as a whole.
