    The Need to Fail with Don Fanelli

    What do all of your favorite comedians, actors, writers, and artists have in common? At some point, they’ve all completely failed. Comedian Don Fanelli sits down with folks at the top of their game to talk about the times their dreams felt more elusive than ever. These hilarious, heartbreaking, and incredibly relatable stories remind us that failure is not only necessary when pursuing a dream, but ultimately the inspiration that keeps us moving uncompromisingly forward. Produced by the Forever Dog Podcast Network.

    Update #2: Why the 4 Year Hiatus? Jul 25, 2017
    Show notes

    A short episode where I talk about why there was a 4 year hiatus with The Need to Fail and how it relates to some professional ups and downs. I give a brief history on where this concept started and how I failed to pitch the concept to production companies and podcast networks. I also talk about how my life on stage was going much better than my life in front of the camera and how I attempted to bridge the gap.

    Show notes

    I sit down and talk to Josh Ruben (College Humor, UCB) about how getting rejected from a couple of collegiate acting programs led him to study with some of the most accomplished teachers in the business. We also talk about a haunting 30 Rock audition, how making videos, pre-You Tube, led him to College Humor, and how he called his agent 10 times before he got a meeting. And Jaws, we talk about Jaws.
