Mike Minogue’s career appears to be a steady ascent — from What We Do in the Shadows to Wellington Paranormal and national radio success. But behind the perceived highs were terrifying improv auditions, self-doubt, and years of chasing opportunities that could disappear overnight.
In this episode, Mike reveals the devastating moment he was fired from a long-awaited project only five days before filming. What felt like a crushing rejection became the turning point that reshaped his mindset. Instead of waiting for permission from others, he chose to create his own work, back himself, and live by a simple rule: if it scares you, do it.
A candid and deeply honest conversation about failure, resilience, and refusing to be average.
