Jamie Foxx (@iamjamiefoxx) is an Academy
Award-winning actor, a Grammy Award-winning musician,
and a famous standup and improv comedian. He is, without a
doubt, the most consummate performer and entertainer I have
ever met. In the 2.5 hours we spent together in his home
studio, he blew my mind.
We cover a TON in this wide-ranging episode, including many
never-before-heard stories. Here’s just a tiny sample of
what you’ll hear:
Jamie’s workout routine
Jamie’s origin stories — how he used $400 to match a
$1,000,000 party thrown by Puff Daddy; building up his
network with Kanye, Jay Z, and Pharrell; expanding his fan base;
and bombing horribly at the beginning
What he learned during the magic of In Living Color
Jamie playing live music throughout our interview
Impersonations (and lessons learned from many of the
following) — Quincy Jones, Ed Sheeran, Ray Charles, Jimmy Carter,
Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Doc Rivers, Kermit the Frog, Sammy
Davis, Jr., LeBron James, Bill Clinton, Tamara Rawitt, Shawn
Wayans, Jim Carrey, Oprah Winfrey, Norman Lear, Mike Tyson, and
others
The key skills Jamie learned from his grandmother
Jamie’s parenting style
