Have you had or do you have obstacles to overcome?

How and the heck can you get past this thing that seems like it has changed the direction of your life?

It seems like a futile situation because it’s out of your control.

Well guess what; the only thing we can control is our own alignment.

Controlling your own alignment starts as soon as you wake up. You have to be intentional about the type of day you want to have, and focus yourself into feeling good so that energy and momentum can carry you throughout the day.

On today’s episode of Waking Up Right with Ivory, I talk with an extraordinary man whose one of the funniest comedians out there; and has a heart of gold.

Joe Torry is an actor, comedian, screenwriter, and producer. Joe is best known for being one of the hosts of HBO’s Dev Comedy Jam.  He starred in Poetic Justice, Strictly Business, and House Party to name a few of his many film credits. He was also inducted into the National Black College Alumni Hall of Fame in 2001. So get ready to be inspired, and get inside the mind and heart of a successful, beautiful, awesome brother.

Some Questions I ask:

What projects are you currently working on?

What is your ultimate failure? What did you learn from it?

What are some of your daily routines when you first wake up?

Who are some of the comedians who have inspired or influenced you?

What do you recommend for young people who want to become a comedian?
