Being on 2022 Time’s ‘100 most influential list’ beats the rest of 7.98 billion people existing in the world today. Only an exceptional few can achieve something this monumental. And, this is exactly what Joe Rogan did.

The host of the Joe Rogan Experience, UFC commentator, comedian, martial artist, and the former TV show host, is a man of many talents. He has attained both wealth and a keen audience of 11 million who listen to his show on a daily basis. Rogan holds the #1 podcast on Spotify and is one of the richest comedians in the world. It would seem like eons ago when Rogan hosted the ‘Fear Factor’, a show of frightening feats, where he even got himself into a scuttle with a contestant.

The motivation behind Joe Rogan’s rise in his early career

On episode #1879 of JRE, Rogan confided that he too needed a little encouragement as a 21-year-old. He stated, “When I was 21 years old, when I first started stand-up I got ‘Unlimited Power’, one of his books,” referring to the motivational guru, Tony Robbins. 

“It came in those audio cassettes. I was living in Revere, Massachusetts in a sh*tty apartment, like writing things down and reading his book and trying to motivate myself from f*cking getting ahead in life,” he confided in the podcast. 

Joe began his career in 1988 as a stand-up comedian. He had successfully signed up with companies like Disney. His work with the Ultimate Fighting Championship began in 1997 as a commentator and he still plays that role in the biggest UFC events today. He began his podcast in 2009, and had recently signed a $120 million dollar deal with Spotify. They bet big on him and he has lived up to their expectations. He has had a wide variety of guests on his podcast show like Elon Musk, Bernie Sanders, Quentin Tarantino, Jordan Peterson, and the list goes on.
