ABOUT
HOW NOT TO BOMB
Onstage. In Life. In Business.
Hosted by Michael “Wheels” Parise
How Not to Bomb is a motivational, lifestyle, and strategy podcast for people who refuse to stay stuck.
Hosted by Michael “Wheels” Parise—a nationally headlining comedian, entrepreneur, business fixer, and lifelong reinvention artist—the show breaks down what it really takes to survive pressure, pivot when things fall apart, and perform when it matters most.
This isn’t theory. It’s lived experience.
Michael has bombed onstage, rebuilt careers, launched and exited businesses, moved across the country, and started over more times than most people ever will. Along the way, he developed what he now calls The Parise Method—a practical, no-BS approach to confidence, communication, and control that works everywhere:
-
on stage
-
in sales
-
in business and negotiations
-
in leadership
-
and in everyday social environments
Each episode dives into reinvention, resilience, mindset, and execution—using real stories, hard lessons, humor, and straight talk. Some episodes feature guests who’ve rebuilt their lives or businesses. Others are solo breakdowns where Michael pulls the curtain back on how people win rooms, close deals, regain momentum, and stop self-sabotaging.
If you’ve ever felt stuck…
If you’re tired of “fake motivation”…
If you want tools you can actually use when the pressure’s on…
This show is for you.
Because bombing isn’t failure.
Staying down is.
How Not to Bomb—onstage and in life.
