Comedian Tom Shillue: Harness the Power of Realizing Nobody Cares If You Fail or Succeed The very funny standup comedian, book author, acapella singer and 'The Greg Gutfeld Show' regular shares the secret of never letting fear get in the way of your goals.

On this week's episode of the Get a Real Job podcast, I got to gabbing with the funny and tuneful comedian Tom Shillue, who you've seen on Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Fallon, The Greg Gutfeld Show and hosting his own shows, including the dearly departed Red Eye. He discussed his unusual rise in the comedy world (which included an actual turf war between rival acapella groups in the streets of Boston) and his thoughts on how anyone hoping to accomplish anything has to remember one simple thing: no one else cares whether you succeed or fail. It's on you!

Thanks as always for listening!
