Crossfit, Paleo, Positive Psychology, Lifehacking. My daily goal is to make my next problem a high quality problem. Self improvement is a game of existential Russian roulette. I've never felt more alive.

"Be a big social experiment in getting what you don't want. Find value in what we've been taught is worthless." - Chuck Palahinuk

So the best improv advice I could give?
Be earnest. Be generous, honest and specific with your compliments.
Go to your friends’ shows.
Say hi after shows, go to bars, leave a complimentary Facebook wall post, exchange phone numbers, follow each others’ Twitter and retweet and #FF, like each others’ team pages, watch each others’ sketches. Connect with each other.
Foster a community.
And if someone asks you for a favor, if at all possible, do it.
Your personal life and your improv life are inextricably intertwined. Be a better person; be a better improviser. It’s all the same thing.
