#13.2: Find Your Fun with Josh Simpson and Jake Jabbour

Improvise Till You Make It!

This is PART 2 of a very special episode full of FIRSTS for "Improvsie Till You Make It!" In our first ever trans-atlantic (or trans-pacific, depending on how you look at it) podcast recording, we talk for the first time with not one, but TWO amazing improvisors, and it's an episode so full of juicy insights and hilarious improv, we had to break it into our first ever TWO PART episode!

L.A. based improvisors Jake Jabbour and Josh Simpson are back for part two of "Find Your Fun," and in this trans-continental episode, we continue our deep dive into getting the most out of even the worst parts of our day to days. From strategies for finding the joy in the mundane, and discovering what it means to shift your mindset in order to help yourself enjoy some of the lesser interesting things we are obliged to do in our jobs and daily lives, there's no shortage of take-aways in our shortest episode to date.

Along the way, we'll find ourselves caught in the middle of a dispute between the firemen and the policemen, whose baseball teams are resorting to some unethical tactics to get asses in the seats at their games, and we'll find out what happens when you take a group of school children to a bleak officeplace full of miserable data entry professionals to teach them a lesson about what happens to boys and girls who don't pay attention in class.
