Exploring Life's Chaos with Artur Pilat

Meet This Week’s Guest:
I’m so excited to introduce you to Artur Pilat, a martial artist, stand-up comic, and host of What a Shitshow podcast. I met Artur at his graffiti-covered bar on the buzzing streets of Ho Chi Minh City, and we instantly connected. In this episode, he shares his unique take on life, philosophy, and how humor helps him through life’s messy moments.

What We Talked About:

• Shaping Reality Through Perspective:
  Artur talks about how the way we choose to see life shapes our experiences. He shares personal stories—including the time he spent a week in a Vietnamese prison!—to show how every challenge can offer valuable lessons.
• Finding Yourself & Embracing Curiosity:
  Artur explains how psychedelics, philosophy, and questioning everything helped him forge his own path. His advice? Stay curious, evolve, and trust the journey as it unfolds.
• Comedy as a Way to Cope:
  We also dive into Artur’s experience with stand-up comedy and how humor helps him process life’s tough moments. He believes that finding humor, even in the messiest situations, can make a world of difference.
• Transitions & New Beginnings:
  We both reflect on big changes—like my upcoming move to Europe and Artur’s journey post-Ho Chi Minh—and the excitement and uncertainty that come with starting fresh. I loved his favorite quote: “If you’re brave enough to say goodbye, life will reward you with a new hello.” It really hit home for me!

Why Curiosity Matters:
Artur and I agree that staying open to new perspectives is so important. Whether we learn from role models or from people who teach us what not to do, every encounter helps us grow.

This was such a fun and inspiring conversation! If you enjoyed it, I’d love it if you gave us a 5-star rating and followed Artur’s journey on What a Shitshow! 🌟
