What this episode covers
Gadiel sits down with his mentor Aida Rodriguez — one of only a handful of nationally touring Latina stand-up comedians — for his most personal conversation about the craft yet. They dig into greatness vs. fame, why there are no shortcuts, her path from modeling to stand-up, creating through ADHD, and the realities of being a Latina in comedy. Part masterclass, part therapy, all heart.
