Show Notes
This week I have for you a conversation about shit that matters with unqualified people. Yes, this special series is back! This episode features writer, actor, and podcast host of Spiritual Asshole, Brendan Fitzgibbons. Our conversation covers a range of personal experiences, humorous anecdotes, and reflections on the complexities of self-help and therapy. We also share some of our most awkward and unforgettable dating stories.
If you are new to this series, these episodes are less of an interview with a guest about their expertise and more about personal experiences about a given topic. However, as you’ll hear in this episode, Brendan pushes back on the notion that he is unqualified and makes a strong case debunking the title. As it were, the episode is full of funny, endearing, and insightful back-and-forth about self-help and dating.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
- Brendan offers his unique perspective on the unexpected turns in the journey of personal growth. (7:17)
- Brendan answers the question, “Is it true that comedians tend to be the most fucked up people?” (22:31)
- We share the weirdest first dates we’ve been on - including Brendan’s experience on a reality TV dating show! (26:00)
- Tips for finding good coaches and healers that fit your needs and vibe (44:54)
