In today’s episode, as part of my second conversation with Frank King, we talk more about his journey with comedy and mental health, and the importance of following one’s intuition and what intuition can look like (Building Block 5). We also talk about trusting the process in life and in recovery, especially when it comes to depression (Building Block 3), and the importance of community (Building Block 4).
Frank King, Suicide Prevention Speaker was a writer for The Tonight Show for 20 years, a speaker and comedian for 38.

He’s fought a lifetime battle with Depression and Suicidality, turning that long dark journey of the soul into 12 TEDx Talks, sharing his lifesaving insights with associations.

He’s survived 2 aortic valve replacements, double bypass, heart attack, and losing to a puppet on Star Search and lived to joke about all of it.
