How do you commit to the long haul of mastering your craft? Iliza Shlesinger, comedian, actress, writer, and podcaster always had a passion for comedy and knew she would do whatever it took to make it part of her life. She shares her advice on how to stop worrying about what other people think, how to set your standards in a relationship, what she learned from Jimmy Kimmel about being a good interviewer, and how being present creates a special experience that can never be duplicated.
