I Met a Global Comedian
2-minute read
Hi friend,
Today’s newsletter is a short one.
I’ve had a fun week with lots of family time and consistent writing. We also start the fifth cohort of my course, Summit 21, on the 18th.
I’m super excited!
So let’s dive right in.
Meeting a Comedian
I’ve known about Papa CJ for over a decade.
4 years ago, I went to his show and saw him for the first time perform on stage. And in 2020, he saw me on LinkedIn and we got talking.
I remember how I told him back then,
“CJ, I think I might want to quit my job. I don’t resonate with the corporate sector.”
He said,
“if you want to, do it”
Like it’s something as casual as choosing a pizza topping.
Oh, and we did eat pizza when we met.
Here are my favourite bits from our conversation:
Fame kinda sucks and we’d both prefer being quietly successful instead. I meet very few people who agree with this. Maybe it’s because I love eating street food and want to continue eating it on the streets. #priorities 🍦
Discipline is the core of growing your business
It’s important to consume mindfully and stay away from all the BS online
Feel negative about a particular platform? Switch off.
Owning your time is the ultimate wealth. For e.g. CJ’s coffee outings with his dad are super precious to him ☕️
Do not compare yourself to others - no matter what. It’ll make you unhappy.
Quality over quantity, always 🎯
I’m sure most of this is what you and I already know at the back of our heads, but somebody refreshing that and having a deep conversation about it really instils your beliefs and aligns you towards it even more.

See you next week!
