Episode 4: From Comedy to Compassion: Michael Pritchard on Resilience, Servant Leadership, and Purpose
In this episode of Code 3: Life Reinvented, I sit down with Michael Pritchard — Emmy Award-winning comedian, former California Probation Officer of the Year, and longtime youth advocate — to explore how humor heals, why servant leadership builds real resilience, and how everyday acts of kindness create stronger communities.
Michael shares powerful lessons from decades on stages and in schools — from anti-bullying programs to hospice and parolee work — along with a tender Robin Williams story and memorable “Pritch-isms” like “be the light in the tunnel,” “we is wellness,” and the dangers of blame-throwers and shame-throwers.
Together, we unpack how to find purpose through service, move from success to significance, and build a habit of “making someone’s day” as a daily practice.
If you’re seeking clarity, courage, and momentum, this conversation blends laughter with lived wisdom.
