What does it really take to succeed when the odds are stacked against you?
In this inspiring episode of The Full Potential Formula Podcast, comedian, actor, musician, and voice actor Eric Schwartz shares the incredible journey that took him from struggling performer to sold-out theaters, arenas, and major voice acting roles—including playing Chaz on the hit animated series Helluva Boss.
Eric opens up about the mindset that helped him persevere through rejection, uncertainty, and the brutal realities of the entertainment industry. His message is simple but powerful: even when people offer help, you must maintain the attitude that nobody is coming to save you—you have to become a true "Do-It-Yourself" person if you want to succeed in Hollywood, business, or any ambitious goal in life.
This conversation is especially meaningful because host David Brownlee and Eric go way back. After meeting at a celebrity birthday party where David was the MC and Eric was the DJ, the two formed a friendship that would last for decades. David even rented Eric a room during his early years as a struggling comedian. Throughout the episode, Eric reflects on how David inspired him and helped teach him the importance of being a good person while pursuing success.
