How to Know You’re on the Right Path | Katt Williams

Katt Williams, a comedian with 14 stand-up specials, sits down with Lewis Howes to share his journey from leaving home at 13 and drug dealing to finding comedy as his calling. He explains how door-to-door sales taught him that rejection is just information, and he still practices every joke 35 times before an audience sees it. His years as a teenage missionary in Haiti showed him that joy and pride can persist even in starvation. His memoir 'Nine Lives, No Wives, and 69 Concubines' lays out his story, and his new Netflix podcast 'According 2 Katt' is on the way. This conversation frames obstacles as opportunities and opposition as confirmation.
