Episode 61: Finance Seemed Cool, but Stand Up Comedy Seemed Cooler with Matthew Broussard

This week's guest is a very funny comedian and friend, Matthew
Broussard (Comedy Central, Conan, Fallon, She Does Standup Too
Podcast)! Anna and Matthew reminisce about the Jewish comedic
gigs they've gotten throughout the pandemic, some of them that
they worked on together! They are the only Jews in comedy in NYC
right now, so book them. Before becoming a successful comic,
Matthew was a camp counselor in Texas, worked as an analyst in
finance, and even worked remotely (before it was a thing in a
pandemic). But it's the story about having his car broken into
and losing his job the same day he was in the middle of a comedy
competition that we love. Matthew's perseverance is inspiring,
and he is the definition of working toward what you want to do!
You're gonna love this Ep. Anna and Ellen also discuss Anna's
ballsy move of sending a message through LinkedIn for a company
she wants to work for. A DM on LinkedIn in 2021?! Unheard of!
Though they probably will never read it, it felt powerful to try.
