On episode 21 of The Buddy Ruski Show, Justin interviews Josh Harmon.
Josh is a comedian and writer based in New York City. He and I became fast friends during my first stint as a teacher with Putney Student Travel, an experiential learning program based in Vermont.
We talk about his picturesque upbringing in New Jersey, playing music at an early age with his older brother Michael, and why every kid in his school was fighting to get into Yale.
From there, we get into his time as a student at Amherst College, teaching with Putney, and the power that “Putney Magic” has on its students as well as its leaders.
Finally, we cover what it takes to be a content creator, and how the addicting pursuit of social media success ultimately leaves you empty. Over the pandemic, Josh has become somewhat of an Internet sensation with his “Rhythms of Comedy” series, racking up millions of views and even a spot on The Tonight Show. But internet fame isn’t all it’s cut out to be. What exactly IS internet fame cut out to be?
