Facing Mortality and Anxiety with Comedian Danny LoPriore

Today on Eyes Wide Open, we're going to start part one of a conversation with Danny LoPriore, a standup comedian, musician, and mental health advocate.    Danny got his start on Vine, and now hosts two podcasts, The LoPriore Podcast and Off the Cuff. I had the privilege of being a guest on Off the Cuff a few weeks ago, and Danny and I bonded over our shared passion for mental health and other common interests.   In today's episode, we're going to discuss mental health, exploring the anxieties and angst that we all feel around death, mortality, and what it's like to lose a pet. We also discuss what it feels like to have a public presence when you're struggling.    Stay tuned for next week's episode, where Danny and I discuss politics in part two of this interview. This week though, let's spotlight anxiety and mental health so you can go through life with your eyes wide open.   Find Danny here:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dannylopriore/    Listen to Off the Cuff: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/off-the-cuff-with-danny-lopriore/id1534952843    Listen to Nick Thompson on Off the Cuff: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-real-price-of-reality-television-with-nick-thompson/id1534952843?i=1000625362754    Listen to The LoPriore Podcast here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-lopriore-podcast/id1550884342    Find Nick Thompson here:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nthompson513/    Website: https://www.engagewithnick.com/    UCAN Foundation: https://www.ucanfoundation.org/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EngageWithNick  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickthompson13/
