Guy Nicolucci is a longtime comedy writer, producer and, most currently, professor. He joins this episode of the “Grow Wire Podcast” to dive into his history of comedy writing for the likes of Craig Kilborn, Jon Stewart and Conan O’Brien (to name a few). Nicolucci starts off by recalling his first moments with comedy, which often got him into trouble as a high school student (2:50). He then begins his comedy-writing journey, starting with his time writing for Craig Kilborn on “The Daily Show” (8:59). He describes his knack for finding the punchline (12:02) before diving into his years working alongside Jon Stewart (14:36) and Conan O’Brien (16:09). Nicolucci walks us through a day in the life of writing for O’Brien (17:15) and what made him different from other comedians (23:43). He reminisces on hilarious moments from Comedy Central roasts (29:06), laughing through memories of President Barack Obama , Jewel and Mike Tyson (36:24). He reveals one of the biggest lessons learned in his career (39:42) as well as his favorite comedians of all time (40:49) and concludes by giving all of us a lesson in joke-writing (44:19).

The Business of Writing a Joke With Comedy Writer Guy Nicolucci

Founders of Comments by Celebs, Emma Diamond and Julie Kramer, take us on their three-year journey running the media company, providing lots of great business takeaways. After defining Comments by Celebs at its core (4:11), Emma recalls how she came up with the idea for the original Instagram handle (7:01), and why this was a career neither she or Julie could have ever imagined (13:15). They explain how they keep up with pop culture in such a fast-paced world (17:42), how they split up duties (19:42), and how they ultimately turned Comments by Celebs into a full-blown business (24:36). They break down what a “normal” day looks like for them (31:45), how much time they spend on content curation vs. business management (33:59), and how content has changed as the CBC network gains more popularity (35:46). Emma and Julie reveal the reasoning behind all of their business decisions (38:18), and why the ever-changing nature of social media doesn’t scare them (44:38). Finally, they conclude with a little insight into their personal lives (48:15) and answer our founders’ rapid-fire questions (53:08). Tune in for all of this and more!

Let the Comments by Celebs Founders Slide Into Your Business Plans

Robbie Page takes us on his journey from playing professional volleyball to founding Tenzo Tea, a matcha green tea company, specializing in organic and ceremonial matcha from Japan. Page takes us back to the beginning, explaining how he and co-founder Steve O’Dell came up with the idea for a matcha green tea company (3:25), which all started when they were playing collegiate volleyball together at the University of California, Los Angeles--an experience that assisted them in entrepreneurialism (10:26). Page then dives into everything there is to know about matcha green tea (13:02), including its lack of popularity when they first started the company in 2016 (14:35). He recalls bootstrapping their way through the first year of starting the company (20:38) and how they ultimately got the product into coffee shops in southern California (27:02). He talks about Tenzo’s go-to-market strategies, including e-commerce (32:07), and its current mix of revenue between direct-to-consumer and wholesale distribution (40:37). Page concludes with his vision for the future and whether he sees Tenzo taking a step outside of matcha (44:30). Stay tuned for all of that and more!
