Podcast Overview

Hi there, welcome, and thank you for tuning in. My name is Jason Scholder and this is "Learning To Fail." Everyone Has Stories They Like to Tell. These Are the Stories They Haven't Told. Each week I interview people who matter... or at least people who matter to me. Some of them are friends, others are teachers, and a lot of them are comedians. I never know where these stories are going to take us, but it's usually somewhere amazing. As this podcast continues to fail, I mean grow, I hope to interview some of the world’s top comics, thinkers and visionaries. I love Learning to Fail and I hope you’ll enjoy listening to these conversations as much as I enjoy having them.

Episode 41 — Cliff Cash — All In and Only Half Way There

COMEDIAN Cliff Cash sits down with Jason, Mid-quarantine, at a safe distance, on this very special episode of Learning To Fail. Cliff just released his first comedy album, "Half Way There," available on iTunes, and wherever you get music.<a href="https://music.apple.com/us/album/half-way-there/1541312394" target="_blank">Buy Cliff Cash’s Comedy Album on iTunes</a>Cliff Cash is the funniest guy you haven’t heard of (yet). Kevin Nealon called him a mix between Rory Scovel and Bill Hicks. Kristine Levine of Portlandia called his set “Chef’s kiss perfect”.His style of comedy has been called “more than just funny” and said to “embody the new south”. A south yearning to be seen as more than camouflage and racism, a generation of young Americans bucking the often archaic values and dogma they were raised on. His brand of humor fearlessly tackles subjects of racism, homophobia, greed, war, loss, death, divorce and the danger of ignorance in pop culture and music. One moment he’s using a satirical uber conservative redneck character to illuminate the fallacies of the far right talking points. The next moment he cleverly dissects some of today’s most absurd rap lyrics. Cash remains dynamic and unique from the time he steps on stage until he says goodnight.FOLLOW CLIFF ON SOCIAL MEDIA<a href="https://www.facebook.com/cliffcashcomedy" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/cliffcashcomedy</a><a href="https://twitter.com/cliffcashcomedy" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/cliffcashcomedy</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/cliffcashcomedy" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/cliffcashcomedy</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzoxbPT5q37eWr_WK36SHiw" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/</a>FIND CLIFF ONLINE:<a href="http://www.cliffcashcomedy.com/" target="_blank">www.cliffcashcomedy.com</a>Buy original photos of this beautiful planet from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/CliffCashPhotography?ref=search_shop_redirect" target="_blank">Cliff's Etsy store</a>SUPPORT OUR PODCAST<a href="http://learningtofailpodcast.com/donate/" target="_blank">http://learningtofailpodcast.com/donate/</a>FOLLOW LTF ON SOCIAL MEDIAFaceBook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LTFpod/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/LTFpod/</a>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ltfpodcast/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/ltfpodcast/</a>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/LTFpodcast" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/LTFpodcast</a>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcKNLjg1Qx7zwEM-DL1OVLg" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/</a>FOLLOW JASON ON SOCIAL MEDIAFaceBook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jasonscholder" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/jasonscholder</a>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/MidlifeComic/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/MidlifeComic/</a>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/MidlifeComic" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/MidlifeComic</a>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLYUlmB-dvnPQ49ZLXzmoYQ" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLYUlmB-dvnPQ49ZLXzmoYQ</a>FIND US ONLINE<a href="http://learningtofailpodcast.com/wp-admin/JasonScholder.com" target="_blank">JasonScholder.com</a><a href="http://learningtofailpodcast.com/wp-admin/LearningToFail.com" target="_blank">LearningToFail.com</a>SUPPORT OUR PODCAST<a href="http://learningtofailpodcast.com/donate/" target="_blank">http://learningtofailpodcast.com/donate/</a>

Episode 40 — Mo Alexander — Back From the Dead... and Still Killing!

Comedian Mo Alexander joins Jason Scholder on this episode of Learning To Fail. Mo is a touring comedian from Memphis, TN. Jason and Mo met under unfortunate circumstances, at the memorial service and tribute show to the late, great, Spanky Brown. (After listening to Jason's interview with Mo, you can listen to <a href="http://learningtofailpodcast.com/episodes/episode-32-spanky-brown-comin-carry-home/" target="_blank">Jason's interview with Spanky here</a>.) But they hit it off right away, made each other laugh, and have been trying to perform together ever since! They actually had a gig on the books back in October, but it got canceled because they venue wasn't quite ready to be open yet. Mo plays Asheville every year, and this time they were able to squeeze in a long-overdue podcast interview. Mo will be on episode 5 of the upcoming Amazon Prime Show, "Punching Below the Bible Belt" coming out later this month! Enjoy!!ABOUT MOWhen Mo Alexander hits the stage, it’s clear that you’re in the hands of a man who knows what he’s doing. With comedy influences such as Bill Hicks, Paul Mooney, and Richard Pryor, Mo combines intelligence and debauchery into a product that is just as funny as it is important. With an ability to access both the smartest and the stupidest parts of your brain, there’s a reason this comedy phenom has been headlining comedy clubs nationwide for over 20 years.Mo began his professional full-time comedy career in July 1996 featuring in clubs throughout the United States and by 1999 he was headlining.To say that Mo is funny is like saying that Michelangelo was a good painter. Taking all of life’s absurdities and creating a night of hysterical laughter is why Mo Alexander is one of this industries greats. Mo takes a lifetime of experience and insight and transforms them into some of the most ingenious laugh riots you will ever experience in your life. Not for the faint of heart or mind, intelligent and hard-hitting are two terms that best describe what everyone that has ever been to a Mo Alexander Show will experience. Nothing compares to the energy of a room when Mo is through with it. Watching Mo Alexander is a night of hilarity and mischief that one won’t soon forget. He usually tries to leave you with the underlying message,”I’m trying to save the world, one comedy show at a time.” After a night with Mo you realize that not only were you entertained, you’re changed. You have a mission: “Slap the stupid!”LISTEN TO MO ON SPOTIFY<a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/1QQxkwXjTe0lzC2JXbZFPg?si=6NQRmhexSKqZRK7QXgGI_w" target="_blank">Mo Alexander on Spotify</a>FIND MO ONLINE<a href="https://slapthestupid.com" target="_blank">https://slapthestupid.com</a>BUY MO'S NEWEST T-SHIRT!<a href="https://i2.wp.com/www.moalexander.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/original-1.png?ssl=1" target="_blank">Mo Alexander T-Shirt</a>FOLLOW MO ON SOCIAL MEDIA<a href="https://www.facebook.com/mo.alexander1" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/mo.alexander1</a><a href="https://twitter.com/MoAlexander" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/MoAlexander</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/moalexander/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/moalexander/</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/moalexander" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/user/moalexander</a>SUPPORT OUR PODCAST<a href="http://learningtofailpodcast.com/donate/" target="_blank">http://learningtofailpodcast.com/donate/</a>FOLLOW LTF ON SOCIAL MEDIAFaceBook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LTFpod/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/LTFpod/</a>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ltfpodcast/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/ltfpodcast/</a>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/LTFpodcast"...

Episode 39 — Aadil Palkhivala — A Natural Born Yogi

Yoga Leader, Teacher and visionary, Aadil Palkhivala, joins Jason on this episode of Learning To Fail. Aadil is one of the top yoga teachers in the world, and has become a personal friend of Jason's since their first meeting in San Francisco, in 2009. They have embarked on creative projects together, collaborated on yoga prop designs and implementation, and shared numerous personal stories and sagas. Jason considers Aadil to be one of his most influential yoga teachers and always learns something valuable from his encounters with Aadil. This unparalleled episode of LTF is no exception.Aadil, and his wife, Savitri, are the co-founders of Purna Yoga and Alive & Shine Yoga Center in Bellevue, Washington.ABOUT AADILFor nearly thirty years, Aadil has been regarded as a “teacher of teachers,” and many of the world’s top yoga instructors have studied with him. Aadil is the co-founder of Purna Yoga, a holistic synthesis of yogic traditions based on the work of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother.ABOUT SAVITRIRenowned Meditation Master and visionary, Savitri was born in India and grew up in Bombay until the age of 7 when she moved to America with her family. Savitri is the founder of Heartfull® Meditation & Lifestyle, and co-founder of Alive & Shine® Center and the Purna Yoga College®.<a href="https://aliveandshinecenter.com/aadil-savitri/" target="_blank">READ MORE about Aadil and Savitri here</a>WHY AADIL IS SO IMPORTANT TO JASONIn 2005, LTF's own Jason Scholder, invented an ergonomic yoga prop called the <a href="ThreeMinuteEgg.com" target="_blank">Three Minute Egg</a>. In an effort to introduce his product to the world, he approached a multitude of master yogis and asked them for input on his invention. While some yogis of Aadil's stature turned their nose up at the idea that someone with as little yoga experience as Jason would have the audacity to redesign the iconic yoga block, Aadil simply saw its potential right away. Unfettered by the blind adherence to tradition, Aadil saw Jason's Egg as a beneficial alternative to the age-old rectangle whose limitations nobody had bothered to question. Aadil embraced the Egg, and made it all but mandatory in the many yoga studios around the world that represent the teachings of Purna Yoga. Jason feels eternal gratitude to Aadil for helping people see the magic in his yoga invention, and was further humbled by Aadil's willingness to take time out of his extremely busy life to sit for this interview. This is a very special episode.
