This is the Win | Discipline Is Destiny: The Four Virtues

About this episode

<p>Before he was a big time comedian, Hasan Minhaj was asked if he thought he was going to make it big. “I don’t like that question,” <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/07O63VzVjd21brPciilHbg?si=ynkvLi-3QcOe32mjt491iw" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">he said</a>. “I fundamentally don’t like that question.” Because the question implies that doing comedy is a means to an end—the Netflix special, selling out the stadium, doing this, getting that.</p><p>“No, no, no,” he said, “I get to do comedy…I won. It being predicated on doing X or being bigger than Y—no, no, no. To me, it’s always just been about the work. I’m on house money, full time.”</p><p>📕 Ryan Holiday's new book "<a href="https://store.dailystoic.com/pages/discipline" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Discipline Is Destiny</a>" is out now!
