85: When that leap of faith actually pays off w/ Comedian Chris Newberg

Chris Newberg moved to Los Angeles to pursue his dream of becoming a comedian. He vowed to focus ONLY on comedy, turning down any job that didn't contribute to his career, and subsequently quickly learning the true meaning of "the struggle is real". He slept on couches, found himself without enough money to eat, and got many "no"s along the way. But when you pour your soul into your work, good things can come quickly. Fairly soon after moving to LA, Chris booked late night comedy spots on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Jimmy Kimmel Live. While quick success doesn't always mean long term success, Chris is an exception and with his work ethic, the best is still yet to come for him. No matter what type of goal you're hustling towards, you'll relate to his story and hopefully be inspired by his journey, on this week's episode of Be Here For A While!
