Jo Koy is one of the world's biggest comedians. He has six Netflix specials, and he's sold out some of the biggest arenas in the world.

So I was surprised when, in the middle of our interview, he offered to show me a text he'd sent to the guy who does his graphics.

“Can you help me get 10,000 fliers so I can go pass them out?”

When Jo started out, he read an article about a band that made their own fliers and put them on windshields wherever they could.

After that, he went to Kinko's, taught himself how to make one, and handed them out everywhere.

So I asked him, "You're going to do it the same as you did 30 years ago?"

"You’d have to be the most narcissistic human being to think that you're that famous enough that everyone knows you," he said.

"You're not. There are people that do not know you."

And so even though his arena shows are sold out, over 10,000 people may have just learned about him for the first time thanks to him handing out fliers after I interviewed him.

When I told him that I was surprised he was still doing this type of work, he said, "I don't understand where people’s laziness comes from once they've achieved some success. I’ve dreamt of doing this since I was nine. I’m still dreaming now.”

Many people are scrappy at the beginning. You have to be.

You'll do just about anything when nobody knows who you are. Then when things start to work, a lot of that work gets handed off, or it just stops completely.

I think it’s important to look for areas of your work where you can still get scrappy.

Areas where you can take action on things that aren’t scalable in your work.

It keeps you grounded in the original dream you had.

I encourage you to pick one thing and do it this week.

My full interview with Jo Koy is an inspiring look at what he did in order to become one of the biggest comedians in the world.

If you are ready to stop waiting for permission to chase your dreams, you’re going to love this episode.
