Carlton Wilcoxson delivers truth through comedy.
By day, Carlton Wilcoxson is a producer for one of the most creative advertising agencies in the country. By night, heâs a strategist for an apparel brand called Creative Blue, a mentor for young artists through an organization called E4 Youth, and, somehow, he also does standup comedy.
And it is through his comedy that Carlton brings the lessons of this monthâs âMomentsâ talk. He tells us jokes, then gives us the moments that inspired them. Because every great story comes with a universal truth about life, and that includes funny ones.

Youâre never going to stop growing. Things are going to change.
Youâll be surprised how many people are willing to help, are willing to support, and that are willing to have your back through it all when you step out there and you just be yourself.
In those moments of hardship, it becomes a true test of character: What are you going to do? How are you going to become better because of it?
