Druski's mother reached a breaking point with his career before he did. Speaking with Rolling Stone, the 29-year-old comedian recalled a pivotal day when she came home and broke down. "She just laid it all on me in the middle of me shooting a skit. I had all the furniture upside down in the house and it was like a come to Jesus meeting," he remembered in a video interview. "I might have been 22 or 23, one of those ages, and it was just like, 'What are you doing?'" He was done with school, done with work, and hyper-focused on learning how to go viral.

Luckily, it didn't take long for Druski to crack the code, and his mom had offered him an essential piece of advice. She encouraged him to write down his goals and to map out a clear path toward success rather than counting on chance and coincidences.
