5: Sean Dolan

Nathan Minns is an actor, improviser, entrepreneur, and former hallway mate of the host of this podcast! When I started this podcast I thought, this guy likes comedy, why don't I reach out to see if I can get an early podcast guest. Little did I know he runs an awesome startup company called Green Light Improv that teaches improv principles as a tool for improving communication and collaboration.

Aisha Alfa was almost too much fun to talk to. A true Canadian, she is one of the nicest people that I've met period, let alone through comedy. She's absolutely hilarious, so do yourself a favor and check out her links below! Website Instagram All The Parts

Shalaka Kurup is a London-based comedian and train doctor. We had a great conversation about the perils of comedy competitions, retiring as a champion from the roast battle scene, and all things comedy! Check out her stuff in the links below: Website Instagram Linktree

Winston Hodges is one of the premier Stand Up comedians in DC. He's the first comedian I've spoken to whose full-time job is comedy! In this episode, we talk about his incredibly moving, award-winning special “Grieving Productively” and what it was like to joke about such a dark topic. We also dive into his past as a teacher, and talk about the work he's put into making comedy his full-time gig!

Sean Dolan is man of many talents. He's a comedian, entrepreneur, CEO, multi-instrumentalist, DJ, former reality show contestant, and famously a bully-conquerer based out of Texas. Having only started comedy a couple of years ago, he is the least experienced comedian I’ve spoken to so far, but that hasn’t stopped him from making a name for himself in the world of comedy.

Chris Weir is an exceptionally talented comedian, illustrator, and graphic designer. We had an awesome conversation ranging from design to the infamous Harambe incident.

Chris is a fantastic person and a hilarious comedian! He's a staple in the growing Cincinnati comedy scene. You can check out his stand-up on YouTube or see him as a regular at Dead Low Brewing and Go Bananas Comedy Club or if you’re lucky you can catch him on tour with Don’t Tell Comedy!

This is the first episode I recorded... Oh boy. Needless to say, it all went beautifully wrong. I'm talking barking dogs, lawn mowers, terrible equipment, the works! But I learned several important lessons about what it takes to put on a podcast! Anyway, Ossia Dwyer is an England-born Vermont-raised comedian now living in my hometown of Cincinnati. She’s got a great blend of dry wit and Midwestern honesty. Her special “Knockout” is available now on YouTube, so if you can't take the audio quality, go check that out instead!

I apologize for the obscenely long first episode but Loren was an absolute joy to interview. As a podcast host himself, he turned the tables on me repeatedly getting me to talk about myself. If you can even believe it, this episode is in fact paired down to just my favorite parts. I hope you enjoy!
