I'm learning that it is okay to make mistakes, that it is okay to not be the best, that it is okay to start a new hobby and make yourself look like a dick in it because you have no idea what you know it is. So every yeah, and it could be shooting, it could be playing the guitar.
What do you get when you mix stand-up comedy with the determination to follow your dreams? Meet Nathan Brye, a New Zealand comedian who turned lockdown boredom into literary success. In this episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', host Stephan Neff chats with Nathan about his incredible journey from making people laugh to penning his first novel. Nathan's story is a testament to the power of persistence and the courage to chase your dreams, no matter where life takes you.
Starting as a storyteller in his youth, Nathan dabbled in everything from guitar playing to high school musicals. But life had other plans, leading him to construction work and stand-up comedy. When COVID-19 lockdowns hit New Zealand, Nathan seized the unexpected free time to finally write the novel he'd always dreamed of. The result? 'Slave Boy', published in December 2020.
Throughout their conversation, Stephan and Nathan delve into the challenges of self-doubt, the impact of trauma on mental health, and the importance of seeking help when needed. Nathan's journey reminds us that it's never too late to pursue our passions, even if it means taking risks or facing setbacks. By the end of the episode, you'll feel inspired to chase your own dreams, regardless of your age or background.
Tune in for a dose of motivation and a reminder that resilience and creativity can lead to unexpected and fulfilling paths.
