His dad turned him in. Years later, Clem’s turning the chaos into comedy—and finally finding himself. 

In this raw and hilarious episode, I sit down with Austin-based comedian Clementine—aka Clem—for a conversation that’s equal parts gut-wrenching and gut-busting.

From growing up above a funeral home to getting turned in by his own dad, Clem shares how he went from tech jobs and college athletics to chasing stand-up comedy full-time. We unpack the messy, vulnerable road to reinvention— rejection, sleep deprivation, dating disasters, and the deep fear of failure.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between survival and purpose, this one will speak directly to you.

🔑 Topics we cover:

  • How to find your niche as a creative
  • Comedy as healing
  • Clem’s first time doing stand-up
  • Mental health, masculinity, and self-worth
  • Lessons from podcasting & rejection
  • What it really means to “bet on yourself”
