In this episode of 'Masters of the Market', we sit down with Eric Johnston, a comedian and #1 Best Selling author.

Eric shares his journey into stand-up comedy, the challenges he faced, and his approach to overcoming obstacles. He talks about his book, 'Run with the Bull', a powerful (true) story that looks into three generations of sports and entertainment personalities, including his father and grandfather, both acclaimed Canadian wrestlers. Eric speaks candidly about dealing with hard times, mental health, addiction, and his father's struggle with alcoholism. 

His silver lining in his story is his journey to becoming a successful comedian, the launching of his clothing line, Whip, and the steps he took to sustain his brand and career.
