Synopsis

The show revolves around fictitious motivational speaker Bob Patterson, who is popular with millions of people across America, thanks to his books I Know More Than You and I Still Know More Than You. Friction between his job and family occurs due in part to Bob's self-absorbed nature and complete lack of self-awareness, an ironic quality for someone whose job is supposed to be selflessly, motivating others to improve their lives.
