I had to look at the failure as the path to success. I thought, well, every joke that doesn't get a laugh is teaching me what not to do. Sometimes we wait for the result to make us believe that we're worthy. But there's a moment that I think when you do what you love, you're like, oh no, I can do this. It's just a matter of time before people kind of figure it out.

The number one health and wellness podcast, Jay Shetty. Jay Shetty. The one, the only Jay Shetty. Hey everyone, welcome back to On Purpose, the place you come to listen, learn, and grow. Today on On Purpose, I welcome a true icon, Jud Apatal, one of the most influential storytellers in modern comedy and the filmmaker behind, just the name of you, the four-year-old Virgin, knocked up and funny people.

Together we explore how to tap into your creativity, push through self-doubt, use humor to get through tough moments, and build the kind of resilience that lasts in both life and and work. We'll be diving into Judd's newest book, Comedy Nerd, a visual memoir of his life and career. This book is epic, honestly. I've been uh flicking through it and taking moments out that I want to talk about today for the past couple of weeks and I can't wait for you to grab it.
