"Dejé una vida PERFECTA para perseguir un SUEÑO INCÓMODO" | Ft. Jose Ramones | Dimes y Billetes #455

This episode of Dimes y Billetes is about making tough decisions, not just jokes. Jose Ramones recounts how he left a "respectable" life as a lawyer and entrepreneur to pursue comedy, and the entire system behind his sketches and stand-up: writing for an hour every day, obsessively studying each character, testing material at open mics, and using discipline (not just talent) to build a sustainable creative career in the age of TikTok.
