Alex Mackenzie

Look at you spewing this life advice.

I love it.

Well, it's because like, I don't know, you look and it's, you just have to overcome so many obstacles.

And like, I can look back today, I can tell you right now today that like,

I am the best version of Alex McKenzie that there's ever been so far in front of you today.

And it's through the chasing the dream and the struggles along the way, man.

Right.

Oh, I would say...

I don't know, like there's a couple things there.

Like one, you mentioned the audience.

So one thing that really changed my standup career and helped me do a lot better was I used to go into the gigs where it was like me versus the audience.

You know, I'm like, okay, I got to win these people over.

I got to show them I'm funny and get them to like me.

And then I realized,

Like they're on my team.

Like no one bought a ticket to come to this show to watch you do bad.

Like they all want you to do good.

Like everyone's like, man, I hope this guy's funny and I hope this is good.

And once you realize that they're like,

you are friends with them.
