How to Keep Going When Life Breaks You with Rickey Smiley

Rickey Smiley is a nationally beloved stand-up comedian, award-winning syndicated radio host, television personality, bestselling author, and one of the most authentic voices in entertainment today. Born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, Rickey first captured America’s attention through his legendary prank phone calls and breakout performances on BET’s Comic View before building a media empire that includes The Rickey Smiley Morning Show, heard in over 70 cities nationwide. A two-time Marconi Award winner, Rickey has starred in multiple television series and specials, including his critically acclaimed Hulu comedy special Foolish. Beyond the laughs, Rickey is a devoted father, grandfather, mentor, and man of deep faith who uses his platform to uplift communities and inspire others. His bestselling memoir, Sideshow: Living with Loss and Moving Forward with Faith, chronicles his journey through unimaginable grief—including the loss of his eldest son Brandon—and stands as a powerful testament to resilience, service, and the healing power of purpose. Takeaways: * Give Your Kids What You Had, Not What You Didn’t: Rickey Smiley is unapologetic about raising his children and grandchildren with the same discipline, structure, and old-fashioned home training his grandparents gave him. No negotiations, no iPads as pacifiers, no coddling. In a world where everything right is being called wrong and everything wrong is being called right, Rickey stands firm—because the foundation that built him still works. If you liked who you became, give your kids the blueprint that made you, not the things you missed out on. * Men, Put Your Ego Down and Get Help: Rickey Smiley performed comedy shows while crying backstage. He went back on the radio three days after burying his son because eight million listeners needed him. But behind closed doors, he sat on the steps of his kitchen and cried for days. This conversation is a direct message to men—you cannot be too big, too proud, or too successful to grieve, to seek therapy, and to talk about what you are carrying. Rickey’s honesty about his own mental health journey, and Mick’s personal testimony about how the book Sideshow pushed him into therapy, is the kind of real talk that saves lives. * Help People, Protect Your Peace, and Pay It Forward: Rickey’s “because” is simple—he wakes up every day to serve, to bless, and to make somebody’s life better. But he also delivers a truth that every giver needs to hear: not everybody you help is going to appreciate it. Out of twenty people you pour into, maybe six or seven will say thank you. Be prepared for the disappointment, protect your peace fiercely, and keep pouring anyway—because that is the assignment. Our grandparents and teachers made personal sacrifices so we could have what we have, and the only proper response is to pay it forward. Sound Bytes: “I told God a long time ago, hey, if you get me out of this rut right here, I promise you, I’ll serve you to the day I die and try to make somebody life better because of the things that you bless me with.” “You literally on stage, doing joke, doing comedy, performing while you crying on the inside.” “I think that what my grandparents and my parents did for me, it worked for me. It was critical to my development. And if it worked for me, it should work for my kids, because it still works.” Connect & Discover Rickey: Instagram: @rickeysmileyofficial [https://www.instagram.com/rickeysmileyofficial/] Facebook: @RickeySmileyOfficial [https://www.facebook.com/RickeySmileyOfficial] YouTube: @RickeySmileyOfficial [https://www.youtube.com/@RickeySmileyOfficial/videos] TikTok: @rickeysmileydigital [https://www.tiktok.com/@rickeysmileydigital] Website: RickeySmiley.com [http://rickeysmiley.com] Show: The Rickey Smiley Morning Show [https://rickeysmileymorningshow.com/] Book: Sideshow: Living with Loss and Moving Forward with Faith [https://www.amazon.com/Sideshow-Living-Moving-Forward-Faith/dp/1400342996] 🔥 Ready to Unleash Your Inner Game-Changer? 🔥 Mick Hunt’s BEST SELLING book, How to Be a Good Leader When You’ve Never Had One: The Blueprint for Modern Leadership, is here to light a fire under your ambition and arm you with the real-talk strategies that only Mick delivers. 👉 Grab your copy now and level up your life → Amazon [https://a.co/d/2wwLDE8], Barnes & Noble [https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/how-to-be-a-good-leader-when-youve-never-had-one-mick-hunt/1146931848?ean=9781394357956%20], Books A Million [https://www.booksamillion.com/p/How-Be-Good-Leader-Youve/Mick-Hunt/9781394357956] FOLLOW MICK ON: Spotify: MickUnplugged [https://open.spotify.com/show/2cUp7JRzkVqunYmD2ENe4g?si=786eadd702b14c01] Instagram: @mickunplugged [https://www.instagram.com/mickunplugged/] Facebook: @mickunplugged [https://www.facebook.com/mickunplugged/] YouTube: @MickUnpluggedPodcast [https://www.youtube.com/@MickUnpluggedPodcast] LinkedIn: @mickhunt [https://www.linkedin.com/in/mickhunt/] Website: MickHuntOfficial.com [http://mickhuntofficial.com] Website: howtobeagoodleader.com [http://howtobeagoodleader.com] Website: Leadloudseries.com [http://leadloudseries.com] Apple: MickUnplugged [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mick-unplugged/id1731755953] See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy [https://art19.com/privacy] and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info [https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info].
