Anthony Poponi joins Julia Reed Nichols for a conversation about why real fulfillment comes from something deeper: the contentment, creativity, and community we build while doing work that actually matters.
On this episode of Nighttime Benders, Anthony shares insights from his unique journey as a comedy producer, performer, author, and positive psychology practitioner. Together, he and Julia explore everything from life on stage and entrepreneurial burnout to Bend’s evolving culture and the science behind what truly helps people thrive.
If you’re interested in comedy, creativity, entrepreneurship, or simply looking for a more thoughtful perspective on happiness than “just think positive,” this episode delivers. Funny, insightful, and unexpectedly motivating, it’s the kind of conversation that leaves you questioning what success is really for.
