单集简介 ...

Zarna Garg is a stand-up comic, screenwriter, bestselling author, and one of the busiest people in comedy right now. But before she ever set foot onstage, she went to law school and tried her hand at entrepreneurship, failing at a vegan chili company, a tomato sauce brand, and even a matchmaking service. In this episode, Adam and Zarna reflect on how her daughter challenged her to consider a career pivot, debate the usefulness of a humanities degree, and break down the meticulous process that goes into developing a hit performance. Zarna also delivers some hot takes and tells the story of how she found her husband by posting a shockingly no-nonsense online ad.

  • This year, on NPR's Throughline, life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness.

  • For centuries, America's pursuit has changed the world.

  • Now, 250 years later, who are we?

  • Where are we headed?

  • Join us every Tuesday for a brand new series, America in Pursuit on Throughline.

  • Listen on the NPR app or wherever you get your podcasts.

  • What is the worst career advice you've ever gotten?

  • Follow your passion.

  • Everyone hates that.

  • Why do you hate it?

  • No, please.

  • No, please.

  • No.

  • Nobody's passion took them to be a lung transplant doctor.

  • Do something that the world needs.

  • Okay.

  • Like please monetize your misery.

  • It's fine.

  • Your passion can be a side gig.

  • And a lot of people think that I'm being hypocritical.
