ynopsis

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.
