Jeff discusses building his podcast and Patreon audience, his philosophy of being willing to walk away from any project, and joking about only taking corporate stand-up gigs for money, plus a riff about his overweight agents.
- Tim is developing three TV shows simultaneously.
- Built a great show and big following on social media and the podcast over the last 24 months.
- Development work with producers like Adam McKay and Anthony Bourdain's company is very difficult and can drive you crazy trying to understand why things don't work.
- Larry David taught him that being happy to get fired or walk away from projects gives you creative and financial power.
- Tim has reached a point in his career where he doesn't take money jobs anymore, except corporate stand-up gigs.
- If you want to ruin your corporate event, email Tim's agent at CAA.
- Everyone who represents Tim in business—his agent, business managers, everyone across the board—is overweight.
