“Be daring, be decisive, be different.” That was the mantra that shaped my creative journey, passed down from my dad—a lifelong artist and visionary. And today, I’m sharing an episode that embodies that message in a way I’ve never done before.

I’m joined by Frank King, a stand-up comedian turned 12-time TEDx speaker on mental health and suicide prevention. With a background in comedy, writing for The Tonight Show, and sharing the stage with legends like Jerry Seinfeld and Ellen DeGeneres, Frank now dedicates his life to breaking the silence around mental health—using humor as his bridge.

In this raw, powerful conversation, we explore:

• The intersection of creativity and mental health—why artists are statistically more likely to struggle with anxiety & depression.
• The courage to reinvent yourself—Frank’s journey from comedian to mental health advocate.
• Why ‘picking a lane’ in your creative career changes everything (and how to know when it’s time).
• The truth about creative success—how to thrive without burnout, self-doubt, or financial struggle.
• 
  

This is a conversation about legacy, reinvention, and why your story matters more than you think.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your creative path, struggled with self-doubt, or wondered if it’s time for a bold shift—this episode is for you.
