I think, over time too, like the step just sort of becomes like a, you sit, you know, you're sitting on the toilet and you're thinking to yourself: was I a dick Today?
Ever wondered how someone balances the demands of a public career with the personal journey of recovery? In this episode of '12 Questions', hosts Anna Valenzuela and Dave Yates sit down with Jon Graber, a musician who has been navigating the ups and downs of life, recovery, and career evolution over the past four years.
Graber opens up about his decision-making process as a public figure, the impact of mental health on entertainers, and the importance of community in the music industry. He shares how his recovery journey has influenced his art and relationships, emphasizing the concept of self-discovery in recovery. Graber humorously explains how asking himself if he was a jerk today has become part of his daily routine.
The discussion also touches on channeling difficult emotions like anger and sadness into comedy, with Graber revealing how the process of writing and practicing jokes helps him cope. Forgiveness is another key theme, as Graber shares his perspective on experiencing someone's art objectively, even if he's no longer directly involved in their life. This episode offers a compelling look at the intersection of recovery, personal growth, and professional life, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in these themes.
