#30 Jocelyn Chia - Lawyer Turned Comedian on Finding Your True Calling
Listen now
Description
My guest this week is the brilliant comedian, Jocelyn Chia. The speed of her ascent in the comedy world has been impressive to watch, given that she had absolutely zero involvement in the world of stand-up before 2014. She’d barely watched any stand-up let alone performed on stage, which makes her opening for the legendary Bill Burr last month even more impressive. As well as having appeared on AXS TV, MTV and Comedy Central, she’s rapidly gaining recognition in industry circles and is becoming a firm favourite on the New York circuit where she holds down a regular spot at two of the city’s most iconic clubs, the Comedy Cellar and Gotham Comedy Club. Only a few days ago, Jocelyn was also chosen as the face of comedy for the new NYC campaign celebrating the reopening of New York's arts scene, alongside some Broadway legends. Born and raised in Singapore, Jocelyn gave up a high flying career at law firm Weil, and later as a management consultant, in order to pursue what she felt to be her true calling. Chatting with comedians is always good fun and if any of you feel like you might have a true calling that you’ve been ignoring up until now, this conversation might be just the motivation you need to start walking that path.  Links: Instagram @jocelyncomedy https://www.youtube.com/JocelynChiaComedy http://www.jocelynchia.com/ Home of the podcast: LinkedIn: @michaelxcampion Instagram: @michaelxcampion Weekly Newsletter  'Thursday Thoughts' www.michaelxcampion.com/subscribe Mentions: Stephen Cope - The Great Work of Your Life: A Guide for the Journey to Your True Calling Jason Leong Sam Morril TJ Miller in Silicon Valley Aziz Ansari Anthony Jeselnik Ali Wong Jerry Seinfeld
