We're Just Figuring It Out

For the last 10 years, stand-up comic Corina Lucas has been impulsively moving all over the country—running from something? Maybe, but that’s not what we figure out. Sometimes you don’t need to ask the bigger picture questions. You start with concrete ways of solving the present problem. Just arriving in Minneapolis, Corina wants to make this city home (as it is the ideal location for the inevitable climate crisis). We figure out that the best way for Corina to start that journey is to choose an apocalypse-ready career path that will help her lay roots here. Look out Minneapolis, a sexy Aircraft Repair Woman is coming your way.

Emma, Nikoli, and Judy figure out that the metaphorical road of life is bumpy as hell, and even though there's no end in sight, we can learn how to use every bump to become a stronger vehicle. Judy gets real and vulnerable on her struggles with alcoholism, the dangers of perfectionism, and not letting her failures get in the way of continuing to grow. Call us Jeep Wranglers, because we throw down on this big ol' pile of dirt (that metaphor makes sense if you believe it does).  Judy Carter is the founder and manager of JCM Live comedy event booking, a certified hustler with a background in architecture and UX Design, and most importantly, a woman that I always want to give a hug.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app [https://anchor.fm/app]--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/emma-dalenberg/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/emma-dalenberg/support [https://anchor.fm/emma-dalenberg/support]

Lisa Evanson knows how to hustle. She's the first female comic to win Acme's Funniest Person Contest. Fresh on the acting scene, Lisa has already received an award for Best Actress from the 48 Hour Film Festival for her leading role in the short film "Serious Business." While achieving these feats and many more, Lisa works in big ol' corporate America as a Digital Marketer, on advertising campaigns for McDonald’s, Subaru, Coke, and Pepsi. How does Lisa receive so many opportunities, and once she's got 'em, how does she manage the hefty workload? We figure out the balance in Lisa's absurdly busy life, her growth through networking, and most importantly, we hammer in the power of saying yes - and no. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app [https://anchor.fm/app]--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/emma-dalenberg/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/emma-dalenberg/support [https://anchor.fm/emma-dalenberg/support]

Zach Ashton is a Minneapolis-based stand-up comedian and Jesus impersonator (he used to be an atheist, but now he's open to other options). Within the first 10 minutes, we finally figure out my confusion over whether stand-up comedy is an addiction or not, we talk anxiety, recognize that life is difficult, and have a whole lotta fun. Join us for the ride. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app [https://anchor.fm/app]--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/emma-dalenberg/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/emma-dalenberg/support [https://anchor.fm/emma-dalenberg/support]

Bill Moran is a designer, typographer, fine artist, and a walking buffet of wisdom (like if Golden Corral was made out of real gold). I got Bill on my podcast because I don’t think I truly understood what it meant to love what you do until I began working with him. He's put in the work to get to where he is today, and I'm happy to share how we figure out creating a career you love, why Bill turned down designing Prince’s gold album, and what it means to side hustle with purpose. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app [https://anchor.fm/app]--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/emma-dalenberg/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/emma-dalenberg/support [https://anchor.fm/emma-dalenberg/support]
