Description

In this week's episode of Gent's Talk, presented by Bulova, the gents sit down with global comedian Kurtis Conner to learn more about the harsh realities of being a comedian. Conner talks about making little to no money for years before finally seeing traction, dealing with imposter syndrome, recovering from a bad performance and how YouTube was the key to his success. #gentstalk About Gent's Talk: The Gent's Talk series, powered by Gent's Post and presented by BULOVA Canada is an episodic podcast/video style conversation with the leading gents and rising stars of industry.
