Ep. 020 - Sean Donnelly - Professional Comedian
/🎙️ Get ready for a truly special episode of the Value of Values podcast, where we venture beyond the business and coaching worlds into the heart of the entertainment field. đźŽ
In this episode, we sit down with an extraordinary guest—a professional artist who isn't just a master of his craft but also unafraid to show vulnerability right from the start. This conversation goes deep, and it stays there, offering insights that resonate far beyond the world of comedy.
Sean Donnelly is a seasoned comedian; he shares not just the laughs but also the values that have carried him through tough times as he says “tough business…easy job!”. We delve into the stories that shaped his artistry, exploring how early experiences continue to influence his work today. We all evolve, but what keeps you grounded and sane in that evolution? How do you stay true to yourself in a world that constantly challenges your identity?
This episode is filled with wisdom, humor, and profound reflections on life and why his dad would say “it’s all bullsh*t” and why that resonates today more than ever! We talk about the power of saying "NO"—a crucial skill for protecting your energy, especially in the demanding world of stand-up comedy. Despite the "lone wolf" nature of a comedian's life, there's an incredible sense of community among these artists, bound together by shared values of hard work, respect, and integrity.
I’m incredibly grateful for the time we shared in this conversation, and while I could have easily made it a two-parter, it’s too good not to experience in full context. What our guest shares isn't just relevant to stand-up comedy—it's applicable to all aspects of life.
PLUS, toward the end we get into some real CRAZY stuff…not sure if its controversial, conspiracy based, scienced based, quantum entanglements etc… – but this is one we will revisit for our next conversation!
Tune in for an episode that will leave you inspired, entertained, and reflective. 🎧✨
