Zoe Friedman shines in the studio with Greg and Dustin this week, talking about her parents and her passion for comedy and helping comics with her organization, Comedy Gives Back. Comedy Gives Back is the safety net for the comedy community by providing financial crisis relief, mental health and chemical dependency treatment sponsorship, and continued community support. Zoe's keen knowledge of the comedy world has its roots in her childhood, where she grew up at the world-famous comedy club, The Improvisation. Zoe landed her first job at Late Show with David Letterman where her ability to find and develop strong comedic voices evolved. During her 9 years at Worldwide Pants, she introduced David Letterman, and the world, to talents such as Louis CK, Jim Gaffigan, Mitch Hedberg and Eddie Izzard. Worldwide Pants moved her to Los Angeles to help guide the launch of The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn. Due to her strong comedic instincts, Zoe was brought into Comedy Central's development department where she fulfilled her desire to broaden her scope and to work with comedians on more than 5 minutes of material. During her successful 10 years at Comedy Central, she helped create and oversee stand-out programming such as Drawn Together, Lil Bush, Dog Bites Man, Crossballs, Comedians of Comedy, and Important Things with Demetri Martin. In 2013, she executive produced a documentary The Improv: 50 Years Behind The Brick Wall which premiered on EPIX and is currently available on Netflix. Currently, she is heading up comedy development for Blue Ribbon Content, a newly formed digital division of Warner Brothers Television.

Candice is joined by the founders behind Comedy Gives Back, a nonprofit organization that seeks to provide a “safety net for the comedy community by providing financial crisis relief, mental health and chemical dependency treatment sponsorship and continued community support”. Zoe Friedman, Amber J Lawson, and Jodi Lieberman all found their own ways into loving and working in comedy (just not on stage - they'll leave that to the artists). But they decided to join forces in 2019 after the tragic suicide of beloved comedian Brody Stevens, who openly had struggled with mental health as many other comedians presently do. After a pandemic and now Hollywood strikes that have put many projects on hold, Comedy Gives Back serves as a safe space and place of great resource to the artists that work so hard to make sure we can still laugh despite life's everyday challenges.

Though the comedians today aren't as unhinged as those of decades past, the community of comedy is one that is still very much in need of supportive infrastructure rather than the less blind leading the more blind as it is now. Thanks to Comedy Gives Back, working comedians have some sort of a safety net as CGB is dedicated to making sure that comedians (who so often help folks get through the darkest of times), can get through their own dark times. This week's Comedy Bureau Field Report has two of the three founders of Comedy Gives Back, Amber J Lawson and Zoe Friedman, talk about their altruistic aims to make sure things like living expenses, health insurance, mental health, and more are covered rather than relying on a deluge of GoFundMe's. Comedy Gives Back's Brody Stevens Festival of Friendship 818 Walk is on Aug. 20th. Register here. Donate to Comedy Gives Back here.

Ever wondered what it's like to have it all? This week's guest on "Happiness through Hardship" - The Podcast is a powerhouse entrepreneur and digital media maven who once thought she had it all. Amber J Lawson has been at the cutting edge of the digital landscape receiving tremendous accolades including "Top 100 Influential People in Influencer Marketing," "Entrepreneur of the Year" and "Top Women in Digital" to name a few. Amber J worked incredibly hard to “make it” and was afraid to give up. She was tired of “living the life” or "having it all" because the truth was - she felt like she wasn't really living at all. Amber J is here to tell her story - about how she created a true spark to live a better life. Amber J talks about several modalities that can help us all take better care of ourselves, increase our joy and transform our lives. She's a huge proponent of finding space for quiet (and creativity) and creating rituals. She also believes in the power of hugging, dancing when we get out of bed and the importance of connection and vulnerability. Amber J is dynamic, full of positive energy and truly hilarious. She's the Co-founder and CEO of the Emmy nominated Comedy Gives Back, the founder of a conscious company, Goddess Process and CEO of Good Amplified - a social media consultancy that serves nonprofits.

The Non Prophets Podcast with Franqi French and Stephen Campbell is a podcast with jokes for charity folks. Franqi and Stephen work out new material about the worst jobs they've had and what they would be doing if it was not for comedy. Then they sit down with Jodi Lieberman (Producer of Just For Laughs Festival and Founder of JLC Entertainment), Zoe Friedman (Owner of the Improv Franchise), and Amber J Lawson (CEO of Comedy Gives Back).

Today we are going to talk about sex! Who doesn’t love talking about sex? Right?!? Well, the reality is that many people certainly enjoy sex, but actually talking about it is something that becomes awkward or uncomfortable for them. For today’s interview, we are going to add an extra layer to that level of awkwardness and talk about how to talk to you kids about sex. Yes, its time to talk about how to have The Talk. My guest is Dr Lanae St John. She is a board certified sexologist. Dr St John helps individuals and couples get comfortable with their own sexuality through coaching sessions, workshops and lots of free, informative , and even some fun exercises to try with your partner. She also has a side of her work that focuses on how to help parents get comfortable talking about sex with their kids. Her book, Read Me, A Parental Primer for the Talk is a comprehensive guide to understanding so much about developing sexuality and also how to conduct quote unquote, the talk. In this interview, Dr. St John and I cover so much. Here’s the highlightsWhy “the Talk” is a series of conversations over your child’s lifetime.What is the right age to talk about touching?What you miss out on if you leave your child’s sex education up to Google or other kids. Her very clear and helpful Five Building Blocks of The Talk – this is the topics to cover.They aren’t all covered at every age, but they are a guide to know how the conversation will grow over the years. The importance of explaining pleasure. The ever so important topic of why and how to talk to your kids when your notice their body changing and growing into pubertyDiscussing and knowing the differences between healthy touch and unhealthy touch. There is definitely healthy, age-appropriate exploration, even though it seems stories of molestation run rampant. I wanted Lanae to help us understand how we can even start to gauge that. How to talk about body image, self esteem, hygiene with grace and a preservation of your child’s self-esteem. There are times when you will be reassuring your child that what’s happening is normal, and there are definitely times in life when you may need to point out things about them (for instance poor hygiene or when the reach the time in life when they need deodorant), where care and tact will need to be employed. Our last topic is just how to actually start the conversation, this conversation that lasts throughout your child’s life.For the non-parents who found this (and listened to the episode)- well, first, off, thanks! I don’t have kids either, I found this informative and I'm sharing this episode with my friends to help them with their kids. I hop you do too.. In case, you found this episode or post because you are looking to get more comfortable with talking about sex with your partner, Dr. St John can certainly help you out there too. As I mentioned in the beginning of the episode, she definitely works with adults. I’d encourage you to go to her website TheMamaSutra.net – I seriously spent about an hour on it the other night, downloading some free guides(see links below) and reading through blog posts and advice questions. A couple of the freebies available on her website are how to get a little bit more playful with your partner and also a guide to exploring your own genitals. The guide to On one hand, it can help you, the adult get more familiar with your own body parts in case you need to tell a dr about something, but it can also help you, again in using the correct words when talking to your kids about their body parts. We can never have too much information when it comes to good sex and taking care of our body. I do hope you enjoyed this epsidisde and your subsequent journey on her website – and of course, Id encourage all parents to pick up her book – Read Me, A Parental Primer for the Talk. Of course, you can find Dr. St John’s book, along with all ther books of the guests of this podcast on my coaching through chaos bookshelf on amazon.There will be links to all the freebies and the book on the show notes for this episode. – just in case you want to circle back to pick up thos items later, you can always find it at coachingthroughchaospodcast.com OK – coming up I have a conversation with a fellow podcaster.
