Today, I’m lucky to be joined by iconic comedian Louie Anderson, the three-time Emmy Award® winner, one of the country’s most recognized and adored comics; named Comedy Central as “One of 100 Greatest Stand-Up Comedians of All Time.” His career has spanned more than 30 years. He is a best-selling author, star of his standup specials and sitcoms, and he continues to tour the country performing to standing-room-only crowds worldwide.
Louie goes deep and spits straight wisdom during this episode. Louie is positive leaning – he says it’s because of his years of therapy. In therapy, he realized that he should have been a lot nicer to his parents. Even if your relationship is one-sided, give them the time that they have given you. Believe it or not, your parents are waiting for a thank you. Forgiveness and gratitude can bring you great happiness. However, you should never feel pressure to feel happy all the time. In reality, we need to focus on having hope. If you’re alive, then the hope is there. As I said, Louie goes deep! Stay tuned as Louie reveals his must-watch TV picks, the importance of a morning routine, and how to let things go.

Quotes from Louie Anderson:

- “I don’t take a call until I have peace and grace in my heart.”
