This episode marks the one year anniversary of when I began doing this. I continue to document my ADHD recovery journey and the pursuit for the best medicine. I go into way too much detail about perfect pitch, a very esoteric topic.
I also reveal why my late Grandfather is the most inspirational figure in my life. I played some clips from an interview he did in 1989 about his take on surviving the Holocaust. I'm very proud of him and decided it was the right time to share his story on this platform. If I don't, who else will? Nobody else in my family has a podcast.

Ep. 50 | Making it and Dealing with Jealousy

Tim Weichselbaum is a media mogul, comedian, podcaster and karaoke singer from Chicagoland. He is also his own agent, promotor, hype man, bodyguard, and driver (despite having epilepsy).  

Some day he will be a massive success. Or, he’ll stop doing it altogether suddenly, before becoming anything. That will be awfully embarrassing, considering some of the things he says about himself on this podcast. 

I don’t think there is a more self-confident person in the Austin comedy scene right now than Tim Weichselbaum. His whole act depends on it. He doesn’t do corny jokes about how he hates himself, and that is what makes him stick out compared to most comics.  

Very recently treated for crippling symptoms of ADHD, he is now in the process of becoming the super-comedian he always knew he had in him. All it took was doing this podcast about fifty times before he discovered that untreated ADHD was the only thing stopping him.  

This podcast is not just meant for entertainment or even necessarily to be consumed. It is a journey. A document of a short man’s long life. Should someone ever write a biography about Tim Weichselbaum, be rest assured that this podcast will be the most quoted source. Unless it’s a really sh*tty biography.  

Tim is an introvert. He rarely commits to friendships with anyone, and that is why he lives in a hobbit hole in near total isolation. Sure, he doesn’t scoff at the idea of interpersonal relationships, but it just isn’t a priority for him. He’s more invested in himself at the moment. When he finally reaches his full potential, then it will be time to start finding the real kind of friends and family he’s look for.  

Topics covered on the show primarily revolve around becoming a professional stand-up comedian, and the trials and tribulations that go along with that process. It took Tim ten years to decide if he was really good enough to be an entertainer. He isn’t just a stand-up comedian after all, he also can sing, dance, and act. But does Tim believe in himself? Let’s find out on this show. 
 
He also covers other interests such as mental health, self improvement, and finance/investing.  

He performs stand-up comedy in real life using the stage name Timmy Gusto, as an attempt to conceal the fact that he’s slightly Jewish. I wonder if it’s possible to get canceled from iTunes just for the description.
