On this episode of Off the Cuff with Danny LoPriore, I’m sitting down and answering some of your questions. Listen in as I openly respond to a lot of topics including mental health, how I play tricks on my mind, finding the right therapist, building self-confidence, and much more.

“Doing stand-up, I actually feel safe when I’m doing it because I feel like I’m in this weird, protective energy bubble and I don’t have time to be panicky or anxious when I’m onstage.” – (3:45) Danny

We’ll also dive into handling panic disorders, sorrow, and anxiety among other things. There’s something for everyone on this episode, so pull up a chair, tune in, and whatever it is, let’s talk about it!

“After I got married, I started to realize that wow, I need to start exercising more, I need to watch my diet, I need to be more productive with my professional life, my communication, and helping out around the house.” – (5:50) Danny 

“If you’re out there and you’re struggling to find a therapist don’t give up. I swear there’s someone out there for you.” (8:13) Danny
