Mark sits down with NBC's winner of The Last Comic Standing, comedian John Heffron, live in the Elevating Beyond Podcast Studio! Mark and John talk in depth, as John shares what he's learned over the past 30 years of being a comedian, overcoming failure, doubt, and how to get to, and through, the different levels of success! John also shares a great story of how famous actress, Lucy Liu, helped push him to do his first open mic, decades ago when he was first starting college! CONNECT with John Heffron Here   Long before emerging victorious in the second season of NBC's hit reality competition Last Comic Standing, Heffron first took the stage at the University of Michigan campus's Main Street Comedy Showcase.  He soon found himself skipping night classes to pursue his passion and branching into FM radio, serving as Danny Bonaduce's wingman on Detroit's Number One morning show, Danny Bonaduce and the Q Crew. Along with appearances on The Tonight Show , Chelsea Lately, The Late Late Show, HBO, FX, VH1, A&E, and CMT, Heffron remains one of a small handful of veteran performers to tape two separate Comedy Central specials and has An Hour Special "Middle Class Funny" on Netflix. In the podcasting realm, Heffron has guested on WTF with Marc Maron, The Joe Rogan Experience, and Ari Shaffir's Skeptic Tank, and, of course, Elevating Beyond with Mark Minard!  Visit https://www.markminard.net To Connect with Mark, & The Elevating Beyond Family, & Submit Your Story For a Chance To Be a Featured Guest!     Connect With Mark Minard & The Elevating Beyond Nation Here:   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/MarkMinard   Twitter https://twitter.com/Mark_Minard   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/mark_minard/   Linked In https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-minard-5904b633/   Check Out Mark's Best Selling Book, The Story Of YOU, Transforming Adversity Into Adventure, Taking Your Dreams To The Next Level & Beyond, http://amzn.to/2xv88ks Join Our Private Group, THE ELEVATING BEYOND NATION, Click Here http://bit.ly/ElvatingBeyondNation
