I’m gonna be Finesse; that’s my power. Finesse Mitchell has made his career his own from the start – as an actor, comedian, author, host, podcaster, and now president of the Laugh Factory. He’s passionate about it all, and says he’s just scratched the surface of everything he wants to do. He shares with Jeanne the best two words of advice he’s ever received; why taking charge of The Laugh Factory is a dream come true; why it’s important to own your differences and use them to your advantage; how being a comedian is like being in a horse race; why you can’t do the hustle forever so you definitely need a hobby; and how he forgave himself for not giving Saturday Night Live his all.
