Guest: Dylan Brody

What happens when the laughter fades and the spotlight dims? In this inspiring and deeply human episode, Dr. Allen Lycka sits down with acclaimed writer, comedian, and filmmaker Dylan Brody—a master of wit and wisdom whose work bridges humor, art, and introspection.

With warmth and humor, he explores the realities of art, failure, neurodivergence, and persistence in a world obsessed with perfection.
