Storytelling is important to you, huh, I think it is. If you just have a video where it's just you, with a bunch of random shots and stuff, the random shots may be funny, but if there's nothing to hold them together, what's the point of people watching it?
Mike Logan is a name you'll want to remember. In this episode of 'A Quick Chat with The Unemployed Alcoholic', Aaron Sorrels sits down with his friend Mike, a comedian, showrunner, and content creator from Grand Rapids, MI. Mike's journey is anything but ordinary. He’s faced racism, battled depression, and even dealt with the frustrations of delayed furniture deliveries. Yet, through it all, he's emerged as a beacon of positivity and change.
Mike's story is one of transformation—moving from a troubled past to becoming a peacemaker. His approach to dealing with offensive behavior is particularly inspiring; he responds with education rather than anger. This episode is packed with insights into how storytelling in comedy can be a force for good. Mike also opens up about the benefits of sobriety and physical fitness, sharing how these changes have positively impacted his life.
He's seen real improvements in his physical, emotional, and mental well-being since quitting alcohol and getting back into shape. For anyone navigating their own struggles, this conversation offers a blend of humor, wisdom, and practical advice. Tune in to hear how Mike uses comedy to make a difference and why he’s someone many in the Grand Rapids comedy scene look up to.
