I hope to use this platform to normalise and encourage the discussion of failure, particularly through the lens of the entertainment industry, to show that it can be a stepping stone towards the road of success. Nothing is better than humour to normalise a situation, so having deep and meaningful conversations, interspersed with comedy and laughter, helps us celebrate and appreciate life's frustrating moments.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-13T12:19:50.156457+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/funny-in-failure-1031063"},"episode":{"title":"#345: Leonardo Nam - What-Ifs","slug":"345-leonardo-nam-what-ifs","published_at":"2026-07-13T05:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/funny-in-failure-1031063/345-leonardo-nam-what-ifs","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/funny-in-failure-1031063","url":"https://funnyinfailure.libsyn.com/345-leonardo-nam-what-ifs","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/funnyinfailure/Leonardo_Nam_FULL_audio.m4a?dest-id=2063339","summary":"Leonardo Nam is an Argentinean-Australian Korean actor who has built a career defined by versatility and emotional depth.
