He knew this was his passion and gift and as he can, with his brand of self-deprecating humor, deliver a one of a kind performance. We will discuss who his role models in life are, what keeps him inspired, and how winning The Last Comic Standing changed his life regarding both the enormous success and the role of fear.

The Sky’s the Limit is a motivating, inspirational program which is based on my journey from medical professional to patient, highlighting people from all walks of life and various stages of overcoming adversity, their challenges and awakening to the rediscovery of themselves, a transformation. I engage with a number of successful life coaches, authors, athletes and everyday people who discuss their journey and process as well as exploring the concepts of Eastern and Western medicine. We are all learning life’s lessons every day and living in the moment, no matter where we are in our journey.
