What happens when you walk away from the spotlight—and realize the real story is just beginning?

In this hilarious and heartfelt episode, Bob Wiltfong, former Daily Show correspondent, TV journalist, public speaking coach, and author of The BS Dictionary, joins Nick Houpt for a conversation about reinvention, fatherhood, and finding fulfillment beyond fame.

From national television to TEDx stages, Bob brings his signature mix of humor and honesty to unpack what it really means to live authentically. He shares lessons from comedy, the cost of chasing approval, and how humor became both his career and his therapy.

We explore:
✅ The transition from fame to fatherhood and what really matters most
✅ Why humor and humility are the ultimate leadership tools
✅ How “business speak” inspired The BS Dictionary and a viral TED Talk
✅ Why balance isn’t about doing it all, it’s about knowing when to let go

Whether you’re reinventing yourself, chasing purpose, or learning to laugh through the chaos, this episode is packed with wisdom, wit, and heart.
