About staying the course even when the applause is quiet. We get into how fear — not failure — is the real thing holding people back. How the opinions of others can paralyze you. And sometimes, when you tell your dreams to the wrong people, what you're really doing is asking for permission to quit.John shares how killing it at Chocolate Sundaes at the Laugh Factory wasn’t about going viral — it was about staying true to what he knows works. It’s proof that when you honor your own voice, the right people will hear you.We also talk about elevation — and how the company you keep plays a huge role in that.
